Wink hey HEY hey!! :)

Hey, guys...just thought I'd drop in and post my "introduction". I'm not exactly from Tampa, let alone FL...although its been my life long dream to live in the land of beaches and sun (for the most part ) My friend and I do, however, drive down to tampa every year to pick up his son, and then drive down to Miami to see my daughter. I really love the Tampa/Clearwater area!

Anyway, I'm in the USAF stationed in Rapid City, South Dakota. Just thought I'd swing in and say hey! One of these day's I'll be in the area

Hope you guys/gals dont mind a foriegner

~Jason

Ahh, i see...i just saw on the left that it said you drove a 91 240sx. Sorry bout that! Can't say I blame you for changing...they can be pretty high-maintenance cars lol


And I totally agree about the Tampa area...I'd love to make it down there..just dont think I could afford to live there though haha...I'd have to find 2 roomates or something

Regardless, thanks for the kinds words fella's...we really appreciate it

I have heard of such beaches but rarely do I see them and I live here

However I do see a lot of sun on weekends due to attending a lot of autox events

Welcome to TR and enjoy the sun and beaches while you are here

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
