For u Floridians!

Thinking of possibly relocating to Tampa Bay area from Dallas. If anyone could give me a heads up on what to expect, like weather and events, i'd appreciate it. Just wanna know more of what i'd be getting into if i moved there. and does it really rain there everyday? and emissions testing, is it as strict as cali, cause it is here.

Im in Tampa,
No emissions inspections,
No visual inspections.

I run my 7s with no cats for years,I have gotten a few loud exhuast tickets.

The rotary croud here are pretty tight,We have drag racing events at local tracks USA vs PuertoRico where they bring over some fast *** ****,

The weather I dont think is any diffrent than texas,just humid,and yeah in the Summer it rains alot,But I love it.

Im about 15 mins from the Bay beaches,about 30-45 from Gulf beaches.

If your into the club scene,we have an area like Bourben ST,but its called Ybor City.so many clubs,every type of music,ALOT of chicks,alot of wild ****.

Just like Texas,we have a good drifting scene if your into that.
Our street racing scene used to be bad ***,but over the years its been getting lame with ricers,and now when you get busted they take you to jail,and impound your car.

Anything else you like to know,hit me up in a PM,I been raised here.(Tampa)

I used to live in Dallas... so you will welcome the change. There sure are a lot of pretty girls in Dallas though... but out here they are in a different flavor... Latinas and other...

Hit my boy Tony by emailing him at CENFLA RX CLUB... his email address is: cenflarxclub@yahoo.com

He branched off my club in Miami called the SOFLA RX CLUB. I have 87 members all together and we hope to make the CENFLA RX CLUB just as successful.

Tony will be having a nice BBQ meet in April and I should be there for that one...

My 7 Convertible has AC .. Hurricanes.. well that is the nature of the beast... but you know that I can take my car out every day of the year and cruise whereas in places like NY it has to make like a bear and hibernate for the winter.

I used to live in NY.... and I had a garage for my 7 ... but I love this State... Florida there is no place like it.

3 year old thread. The guys profile even still says Dallas area. What the hell were you searching for when you found this gem.
