I have been in bed with a 101 fever for the last couple of days so I am very disappointed that I will miss this event. Damn! If any of those silly cars with the horsey emblems on them decides to spontaneously cumbust, please get pics to help cheer me up.
Have fun guys and gals and drive safely!
I hate to make fun of other people, but I won't let that stop me. I feel badly but . . .
There was a yellow convertible C6. Apparently, having lambo scissor doors, it is mandatory to have them open the entire time the car is parked.
I don't know if a fairly long duration with the doors open (and I assume the interior lights on) was the cause of the problem, but when we went to pull out of the Parkland Golf and Country Club (beautiful facility, BTW), this Vette needed a jump start.
I feel badly my son and I got a chuckle out of this, since I was in the same boat about a month ago, needed to replace the battery in the NSX (and the Miata, too! I need a battery tender!), but it seems no harm, no foul, everyone made it to Fort Lauderdale Ferrari-Maserati, and started back up OK for the drive to Gulfstream.
On another note, weren't some of those Sheriffs FLYING past us when they leapfrogged us? Kewl. They did a great job with the traffic, thanks to them for that. Another moment to treasure: someone forced their way onto Federal Highway off a side street, and just as we were idling by a Sheriff blocking a side street, he said, quite clearly, to himself, "Look at this f#$*ing idiot. Stupid f#$*ing idiot", and shook his head. Cracked me up. Some people just didnt have a clue.
Hugh, hope you feel better soon!!! We missed you pontificating on the inferiority of Porsches.:tongue:
.. oh .. and SELL ME THOSE WHEELS CHEAP, you need spinners in there! hahha
