Default Started my Winter Vacation

I started my winter vacation yesterday. I'm in Fort Pierce, FL. I will be here till sometime in April. I hope that the winter in not to harsh for you guys. I brought my new SS here to play with. It now has 3000 miles on it now. I'll still be in touch on here. Sorry to say, it was 88* yesterday and today. It's almost too hot.

Rub it in whydontcha Ralph! Those of us who have had the pleasure envy you Ralph (It's good to be Ralph! )

Fort Pierce huh? I have friends there. We have been flying down for the past 8 years for visits, and haven't driven down since the C5 was 1000 miles old back in '02. We had decided that 8 years was long enough for that Vette ride, and planned on driving the new C6Z down this year. The Wife and I were planning on being in Florida this January into February for my Mother in-laws Bday, but plans have been somewhat stalled, and we may have to push the trip back a few months. When we do hit Fla we bounce around the state to see friends and relatives that are spread all over the state. We don't know anyone in the keys, but I haven't been there yet, so this might be the year we go party @ Key West with the Vette. You have fun in the sun, and be safe Ralph, Ya know that state has a bunch of old people drivin' badly and the numbers increase in the winter .

Wish that I could be in Fla with the Vette too. Oh well, it's this white crap with cold azz temperatures and hi winds. Maybe in a few years when I retire. Have fun and be safe with that new Camaro SS.

Hey Ed. I didn't make the lunch at Harrolds because I was already in my Florida home on the west coast near Sarasota. Yes, I drove the Trumpvette here. I couldn't leave home without her. When you guys are here and prancin around Florida, you'll have to drop by or I can take a nice leisurely drive and meet you in Key West (haven't been there since 86). You see Ed, I now have all the time in the world.

Good for you Dan! One of our stops is with a Sister in-law in Land of Lakes (Tampa) and when that happens I'll give you a holla, and we'll do lunch and 'tinis. Sarasota truly IS a beautiful place!!
