South Florida (Tri-County Area)

West Palm Beach
to
Ft. Lauderdale
to
Miami

(I live in this tri-county area)

Does anyone know of a motorsports shop around here? I'm closer to Ft. Lauderdale area, and all I can find around here are idiots.. The only ASE certified mechanics are at the stealerships around here or working at auto care centers whom don't specialize in foreign cars.. I can't even find a good place to get tint done around here.. nobody knows what the heck moleskin is or if they can get it - so I only have my back window done for now... Oh how I envy those of you who live in CA and other places where more people are into this stuff Anyways, back to the point at hand... Any help in locating a reputable foregin car shop around here would be awwweessommmeee! Thanks!

Sorry to hijack the thread but how's the weather in Key Largo in early April during spring break? We were thinking of going there but if it's hot/humid we'll find another place.

Early April is generally before all the rain hits for the summer. It should be beautiful! I'll keep you updated!
I'm only about an hour or maybe hour and a half @ max away from Key Largo

From the looks of your website I think I'll spend early April in "Cabo San Lucas".. haha. Man those are some nice pictures!

I live about 5 miles - less than 10 minutes from the tower shops.. Haha. There has been a car show there every Friday for the past.. well my whole life as I remember (21 years haha), so that's cool that ya'll are meeting there. Anyways, I'm too ashamed to bring my stock w203 out for now probably. But I might stop by and park in the back and come gawk at yours!
