Default Moving from STL to the Tampa area

Hey guys. My name is Pete. I'm in the process of trying to find employment in the Tampa area (before I move down there). As soon as I do, I'll be looking to meet some like-minded people, as I only know 2 people that live in Florida.

The car: 02 Firebird Formula 6-speed. Full boltons, Nitto 555s, 4.10 gears.

Me: 26 yr old car guy. I love playing pool, bourbon, and cooking.

Past cars: '89 Olds Cutlass Calais (Quad 4), '91 Supra (NA car gone 1jz swap), '91 Mr2 NA, 2000 Camaro M5

Any advice on trying to find a career down there and/or housing arrangements would be MUCH appreciated. I have an MBA and some retail experience (Sears, car sales).

I've been a member on a couple of Missouri forums (STLSR and 417racing) and I've discovered that if you don't know anyone in the car community, forums are the way to go.

Let the flaming begin.

I'm assuming that post was somewhat of a "form letter." If not....the part about being a "tough guy" and burning out doesn't apply to me. I'm broke and tires are expensive. haha. Not all of us from Missouri are rednecks...

Not specifically aimed at you, buddy. LOL
