Welcome to the forum. You're not the only one getting old. I had some clever thing I was going to say, but I forgot what it was. Enjoy. :)

Welcome to the forum. Or welcome again, as the case may be. There are others of our kind in Florida, you should be hearing from a few shortly.
I agree, five years driving Spiderless is way too long.

Welcome! How hard it must be to live in Florida and not have your Spider running. Now's the time to blow the dust off that ole engine and start getting it together! :wink:

Welcome to the forum. We have a bunch of Spiders in Florida but they are all spread out around the state. WOW, you're literally at the FL/GA border and only 350 miles from me!

The Florida Spiders have to get organized. (and I have to get my car running :( )

Well, I certainly can't agree with Craig's "Go Gators" nonsense, but welcome to the forum nonetheless! Keep us posted on your progress.

No reason to hate :) I have one sister that when to Florida, the other sister is at Florida State. Makes football season fun.

That Carolina event looks interesting....lets see if I can get off work for it. I will driving my Spider from Jax to Charleston soon anyway....so half way there.
