Replying to: jmonroe (Nov 03, 2009 6:19 pm) Why would anybody buy a car in Florida? ... Maybe because they live there but I know what you mean. One of our secretaries would add, "why would anybody live in Florida?" Her son lived there for a few years, and I guess she visited enough that she has a list of complaints about the area (Key West I think).

Replying to: corvette (Nov 03, 2009 7:29 pm) If I were going to live in Florida it would be up in Tallahassee. Hills of sorts (keeping in mind the highest point in the state is only maybe 485 feet above sea level), a city that's not dedicated to either tourism or seniors.... We're in Kissimmee which is fine to be a tourist in.

Replying to: corvette (Nov 03, 2009 7:29 pm) "why would anybody live in Florida?" All year around would be difficult. I have met a few "quarterbacks". They are people who lived in the North East, then retired in Florida, found it too hot, so moved a quarter of the way back and settled in South Carolina.

Replying to: driver100 (Nov 04, 2009 3:41 am) My mom lived in a retirement community here near Chicago. Half the residents lived up here during the summer and had a place in Florida for the winter.

Replying to: corvette (Nov 03, 2009 7:04 am) Shortly after 9/11, my wife and I were supposed to go on a cruise leaving from New York Harbor. Since the harbor had not re-opened yet, the cruise line decided it would be better to bus everyone to Boston. The bus left from Philly & was extremely crowded. The air conditioning did not work, so it was extremely stuffy & smelly. Their idea of stopping for lunch was a 20 minute break at the worlds worst McDonalds. I will never get on a bus again.

Replying to: corvette (Nov 03, 2009 7:29 pm) Florida new Car buying- Doc fees etc etc . So I understand. But Florida used cars have no salt exposure unlike cars in the east or they are not driven on dirt or potholed roads. So a used car in Florida as long as it`s not flood damaged would be a much better option than any salted out northeast car. Infact i have bought 2 relatively used cars with less than 30k miles from Ebay ,both of which were from Florida and these are absolute gems that I have owned And why would someone not live in Florida?--Beats me. Nice all round warm weather. No gloomy days .No freezing winters and cold. Like Texas weather, but here in Texas winters can get quite cold though there is no snow-maybe once a year,that`s it. But Florida weather in winter is simply fantastic ! I would certainly trade my TX weather and definitely Northeast weather for FL weather. I admire Northeast folks and people in cold places a lot..-To get through those biting ,chilly and frosty winters-- takes a lot of effort. TX guys need some weather like that I guess-- they probably would stop barbecuing everyday and then as they cant fit in cars-they go and buy these huge SUV`s and PU`s and then complain when gas prices shoot up !!
