Bama Newbie

Hey guys. I've been on this site for a while and have had two 40's on the past (78 & 79), but have no moved on to BIGGER and BETTER things. I just purchased a stock 1995 80 with 184k...solid white (sweet color on these rigs). I have really learned a few things from the guys posting on this site and just wanted to say many thanks! Admittedly, I'm not a gearhead but am always up to learn a thing or two. I live here in Bama (Birmingham) and was looking for someone reputable to get my rig checked out and if it ever does need work, someone I can trust. Anyone out there know a place local?

No place local that really knows these rigs, that I've found. I've used the Crestline Shell and Hoover Toyota in the past, with no complaints.

Welcome!

They are pretty mediocre. Not too high, but certainly not too low. Johnathan Dreyer has done the service writing for me since '94, and I like him a lot. He's always done right by me.
