Hey guys hows it going? My names TJ and Im coming down to attend The University of Tampa this coming fall. Im from the Philly area and we have a pretty good scene up here. Hoping to become a member of what looks to be a very nice one that you guys have built.

Are there any other UT Students on these boards? I saw a clean 04 rex, an SRT4 and a GLI on campus last week, anybody here?

Anyway Im looking foreward to moving down and meeting everybody in the fall. Ill be down on August 20th and Ill have the car down about a month later. Heres a little bit about her now. Theres a few stories about it, but Ill wait till someone asks. Heres an old pic and a current mod list for now:
