Is no one spending anytime on the website anymore. I take a vacation from the website for over a year, and everyone disappears. No more meets, nothing. Ouch, that hurts.
Just shoutin' out at everyone in Florida, if anyone's out there... :smiley_ac

Nah, we're still here. I think we're all spread out too far and we're too busy to have a large-scale meet. Let's not talk about gas prices.
We tried having a Tallahassee meet a few months back, which was a complete failure.

I am still here too. But yeah, we have lost a few Floridians. I think Geraldleroy got a bike and I am not sure what happened to evil724, and when angelbaby wrecked her car she bought a scion.

We'll have to change things when I get back to Florida in January. If I have to drive all over the southeast to go to 2-3 car meets ;) Only one thing, they have to -have- gas at the pumps. I have friends telling me they can't even find gas at any price right now. I got an email from working saying we're in a fuel shortage class 4 or something. Please carpool!

I'm here. I'm just really busy with fixing my new house and fixing my car.....the house downpayment ate up my insurance claim.

Good, I thought I was the only one left.
GeraldLeroy still has his car, I saw him driven it around the other day. The traffic lights were working against me, so I couldn't catch up (I've lost his phone number.)
kmr327 wrecked his 2003 GLS in New Hampshire, and has since bought an 04 WRX ( beautiful with a bunch of STI parts and carbon fiber).
Having families and house payments doesn't leave much room for anything else these days (gas prices included), but should anyone want to hook up or do anything let me know.

I could have used some help when I was in Orlando back in June, my tire blew out right in front of the toll booth by the airport. Too bad I didn't know anyone :) Ended up getting it fixed for $20 about 2 miles down the road. 2 of my nuts got stripped on the wheel... I drove it with 2 lug nuts holding a half-flat spare on.

What year is your car?
On my old '02, I put on KVR brake rotors up front. The day of the installation, I was going to put them on myself, and two bolts stripped off the passenger side and one came off on the drivers side.
I drove the car to Tires Plus, who installed the brake rotors and new bolts, two weeks later I'm rotating my tires, and the damn things broke again. I don't particularly like the quality of the bolts.
Luckily I haven't had any problems with the 2 new cars I've got.
Oh yeah, here's my number if anyone is ever in Orlando and wants to hook up:

Call anytime...

Still here! Busy w/work during the week so I really only have time to check out the forum on the weekends. Plus, I haven't really done much w/my car. Money is going elsewhere or onto bills.
It's good to see more people from Orlando, having a meet there would be easier for me.

im here and im new but im in miami :) i plan to head to HIN in orlando (even though it sucks lol) Next year with my club. maybe we could all meet there and hangout or somethin?
BColeman
10-03-2005, 12:04 PM
Sure...
HIN Orlando does suck, but compared to the rest of the shows in Central Florida, it's better. Someday I want to go to HIN Miami, and a few other shows down that way, but finding the time/money to make the trip is hard.
UGHHHH!!!!! It's the gas prices that really kill me.
Glad to see we are all still around...

i went to HIN last year and it really did suck, but it was better than all the other ones i heard were going on. Actually i haven't really been out much because of work but is there anywhere you guys meet up on the weekends or weekdays?

struck1481,
I hang out with a bunch of people (mostly Subie owners) on Wednesday nights at the Winn Dixie shopping center on the corner of Goldenrod Rd. and University.
On Saturdays, usually all over the S. OBT area near Central Florida Parkway. Some friends of mine come over from New Smyrna on Saturdays with their Hondas, who unfortunately can't help but be slow ;)

Awesome man! You'll be right down the road from me. I go to Destin almost every weekend. Are you familiar with the area? I could always use some more help with my car too :)

My sister lived in the Destin for about 5 years and I visited her a few times, so I'm somewhat familiar with the area...

When anyone is in town, CALL ME ! ! ! ! !
407-209-8187 My Personal Cell Phone
321-299-4149 My Work Cell Phone
They are both always on, but usually it's the work phone strapped to my hip.
Most of my friends call me MapQuest, so if you get lost, or want to know how to get somewhere, ring me up....
I look forward to meeting some of you eventually...
Later...

Haha, my friends think of me the same way, but it is because of my GPS on my laptop that I run in the van.
I live in Davenport, which is just west of Kissimmee. I just spent the last 3 days in Tallahassee, and if I had more time I would have liked to have met some of our members up there. I will be in Jax on Monday, but not sure how long.

Fort Lauderdale. Would love to compare cars and info.
How about the Tower Shops one Friday night?

I'm down for that one of these days...
BColeman

Tower Shops????
I've always wanted to head out here, but finding the time one Friday night is the catch.
What time do people meet up over there? Tower Shops is right off of 95 right?
Hook me up with the directions and info, and I'll bring myself and Strick with his 03 Elantra down there to hang out...

Any problems with you having a modified car and them working on it...
DAILLESTWUN
12-05-2005, 10:37 AM
Depends on what you mean by them working on it... If it's a warranty issue, I'm sure as long as there are no mods that caused the issue you should be ok...you know, just the normal stuff. But they sell modified hyundai's there anyway as well as aftermarket hyundai parts . When I last went there to see
Sed about 3 weeks ago there was a Tib with a few mods on the lift getting some work done...

I'm with you on that one. Hard part isn't the organizing though. It's the participation. I know of maybe 5 people who would be willing to participate from right here in Orlando, but I can't vouch for everyone else in Florida...

Hey what's up! I've been organizing Hyundai Meets here in orlando for a while now, we have them almost every Saturday night, or when scheduled, we Meet up in I-Drive, If you take Kirkman Rd, to I-Drive turn Left at the light then go past the next light, and on the Left hand side of the road you will see a shopping center parking-lot that's were we have our Meets, it's between the BurgerKing and Sonic, we just had a Meet last Saturday and it was a good turn out, I will let you all know when the next Meet is, so if anyone is interested let me know, so come hang-out with us, SeeYa

Alex, long time no hear from. I saw you a couple of months ago, but as usual, I had a hard time keeping up with you.
I'm down for a meet, I'm just surprised that one is taking place here in Orlando, and I not know about it. (just jealousy, j/k)... :)
