lol..i should have known better to post this! but oh well...give you guys something to do...i was just wondering...i guess its better than being called Rice Dick <aka honda and their exhausts> so Tom is not to bad...i just dont understand it...lol like maybe some one had an amazing tib and he was named tom...or the guy from Myspace...idk but clearly its just stupid Miami people making random stuff up...

I live right off of 595 on pine island and sterling <5 mins away from Nova> not many "car meets" in my area but i work 20 minutes south <the 305...lol> and people who come in and ask whose car that is and i end up talking to them they say Tom its not just like 1-2 people its been like 5-6 and one of them i am becoming friends with and he says that at the hang out...which is like a wendys every one calls it a Tom...so idk if its some little group that does this and people took it from there...or if this was like a world wide thing...and i just never heard about it..lol i figured it was just a local thing because i am sure i would have seen that come up some time in my daily NT visit

Man, I live right down the street from you. I live right next to the Dolphins Training camp at Nova... I used to go to those 'hangouts' all the time... the wendy's/shell/publix and u-gas... no one has called my car a 'tom'. My girlfriends parents live right in that area too... There are plenty of car meets around too... I can name probably at least one every night.
