Default florida's best import car scene?

Hey I was wondering which city in Fl has the best scene. I've been to tampa and I love it, but i always thought it was Miami or Orlando, but then again how is jacksonville? Im just curious because i plan on moving out there. (i know kinda wierd basing your life about the car scene but im from cali and live in Ga and im so bored i can do suicide. Thanks)

^ True but there are also crews like Fuel Sluts etc. Florida I would say is huge. As far as I know its Cali, Texas and Florida that run this shit. Tampa's scene is huge but with it comes the shit loads of ricers. Miami's is good to, been out there a few times and they dont BS around when it comes to racing.

yeah, but honestly, i don't consider people who just buy a Lamborghini and show up at a car show or a race really part of the "scene". People who put pride, time, and money in to a car their self is where you get the real scene.

Thats not true, people put their pride into making money which you need to make or buy any nice car. Thats the way I look at it... Basically I look at a car as a status symbol and expression of your personality. I mean if you show up to a car meet in a bugatti veyron in miami with scott storch, you deff own the streets haha.

I can see someone who worked hard for said specific car. But not so much Paris Hiltons little brother who fell ass backwards in to money and decided to get a enzo and thinks hes hot shit.

Thats a load of bullshit. Someone who goes out and buys a Lambo or Ferrari doesnt give them a better status symbol of the person that owns a civic that would wax either or and actually put the time and money into the car, unlike the owner of the Lambo who bought it from a dealership the way it is. Just because you can afford doesnt mean your better then the next person like you who thinks his Vette owns all. On that note who the fuck is going to go the damn street races in a bugatti with scott storch? If you own a Bugatti and chill with him, I HIGHLY doubt is gonna be at the races.

Ive been to the races in Miami and they are decent, I think Tampa and Orlando has them beat tho.

Doesn't matter matter what you have, if your driving an exotic compared to the average import or muscle car obviously the exotic is gonna get more attention. Who cares if the civic can wax the lambo, or any car for that matter...
