Default Hi Florida

I'm in New Port Richey, great to see so many vettes as mine is tucked away in a heated building back in Iowa. I'm leaving Friday to go back home, great weather we've had. I'm envious of you all to be able to drive your car everyday.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yes after growing up in Chicago, I will take this weather all the time. Enjoy your stay and have a safe trip back to the great white north.

^^ I'm also in Palm Harbor not far from Sebring Florida.

Florida weather is great during the winter. I couldn't imagine having to store my car for the winter and not be able to enjoy it for months at a time.

I relocated from Chicago in 2005.

To the OP, welcome to the "Land of year-round Corvette driving"! Although August and black convertible interiors don't always work.

...and don't get me started about Love Bugs.

However, yesterday I enjoyed a great ride down Gulf Drive through Bradenton, Longboat Key and Sarasota.

Welcome to my neighborhood! We try to drive that stretch at least once every other week to shop in St. Armand's Cir. I'm glad to hear someone else is enjoying it as well...

I live east of I75, however I always try to take "the long way" home whenever I go out west. I usually stop in St. Armands or Siesta Key for lunch. Beautiful drive!
