Default South florida guys

Was wondering how many of you in south florida go to car events and track days. Looking to maybe tag along with someone. I don't own a vette anymore but sure miss it, just looking to maybe meet some new people.

I would love to meet some Corvette owners as well!

Would even be better if someone could point me to a local group with somewhat of a younger demographic... .... It's always great to bond with all people but at 30 currently, a younger group would be a better fit as the Vette meet I went to was averaging 60 - 70 and ^. Again that's great but just for the sake of all around compability ( I hope I'm not offending anyone and they understand my point of view)

Hey nice to meet you.
I'll be up in West Palm on March 14th for a wedding, so I'm planning on sticking around and attending the Cars & Coffee that Sunday (March 15th).

Let me know if you'll make it and we can meet up.

Hey, I saw your other post about washing your car as well.

I live in Miami (Brickell) but used to live in Broward, so I know the area.
I also commute to Plantation (Pine Island Rd and 595) for work though I'm only here about 50% of the time.

Do you want to wash your own car? If you prefer doing so, there's a spot I found in Hollywood that you can do so (I can't wash my car in my condo either. I usually do so in Coral Gables at a relative's, but might start doing it at this Hollywood wash if I know I'll hit rush hour on my way home).

I also have a great guy who can work on your car for aftermarket stuff, and reasonable pricing for top top notch work. Granted if you have a C7 you're probably well withing extended warranty, but if the mod bug hits soon let me know.
