Just moved to McKinney from Miami.....
....Florida and the first thing that strikes me is that this doesn't appear to be an import town to the extent South Florida is; I see a lot more Mustangs hear than I ever did in Miami. But I digress...I'm looking forward to meeting up with the Z crowd in the Metroplex area. I'll keep an eye out for meets (like the one next weekend) and hope to get active real soon. I'm still getting settled in and have a job interview with at&t next week.

You have no idea how much I enjoy the fact that people out here are much more relaxed, friendly, and helpful.

I finished school in Arkansas and immediately moved back to work in Florida thinking that's where I wanted to spend all my money. I lived in Pensacola, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and West Palm moving for my job. I asked my gf (whom is also from Arkansas) to sell her house and move to Florida (so we could get married).
We lived together for a year before we realized we would not be able to afford a home for years with our income and both our family's were in AR so we moved back 2 years ago.
We bought our dream home and 2 new "dream" cars immediately. We are with our family and making the best of life. Part of that is people from AR are ACTUALLY FROM AR.
I found people in Florida are never FROM Florida, always from somewhere else and no one ever takes the time to know your name. People here learn who you are and remember you because they know they will most likely run into you again.

Post up some pics of your car so we know if we see you. I have seen a few Z's around here recently that i don't know.
errr...i mean modded ones that i don't know, i see tons of stock Z's. One was last weekend at wendy's off of park and tollway, had some serious dish on the back and another was on parker turning left by the highschool (PWSH)...it was silver-ish with some wheels. Oh yeah, and there is someone rolling around with a wild body kit. And another in Frisco yesterday on preston between lebanon and rolater/stonebrook...it was black and had wheels.

I am disappointed you moved away but glad you are in place you like, I had the similar issues with Miami but just moved 70 miles north. You will be missed and I am sure the local Z scene there will benefit from your presence, don't be a stranger.

I originally typed a long response for your thread, but I decided not to bore you with things you'll soon find out.
Welcome to McKinney! I'm from McKinney as well. Maybe I'll have another Z from McKinney to caravan with again.
BTW, are you into drag racing?

Another McKinney guy right here. I've had two 350z's in the past, but I don't have one anymore. But I still try to go to meets and even have some of them at my house.
