Florida Week One

It is a week today that we left home for Florida. This is the house we have for the duration. Kinda nice, no basement. Jeez, how can people live without basements? Actually they do have basements here, I think they are called indoor swimming pools.

Not much to report really. We have been to the track and met up with some of our SVRA friends. Linda has tried to restrain herself on shopping but we have been looking for a new SUV. Florida may not be the place to buy but the USA definitely is. GM has issued a memo to their dealers nation wide to cease and desist selling cars to Canadians. Ford, Chrysler and everyone else is doing a booming business with Canadians. For example, a new Lincoln MLX, loaded down here is around $38K. Up home they are in the high $40's to low $50's

Saturday morning we are heading up to Amelia island for the Concour d'elegance. This is supposed to be the Pebble Beach of the east coast...we will soon find out.
