Oh I thought you were there! Well, sorry about that.......it's gonna get cold here we have rain coming. But I love the cold air, all the more reason why I am leaving FL for NC, I can't take the tease of these cold fronts I need winter temps and summer nights.

And to leave this hurricane alley from hell.

Florida is great. Rain don't hurt anybody. Hell I was at the shootout yesterday and went home drunk as hell and soaked. Still had a great time. Just could have been better with a race.

If you love the snow so much, come on up here and I'll throw you in the 18+ inches we have now and still coming down. Plus you can shovel my driveway while you're making snow angels. I hate this freezer hell.

That's why I am opting for NC..........right smack in the middle to FL or CT whichever I wanna go visit AND I have 5 drag strips to run at the furthest an hour away

I can still get some seasonal weather, twenties in Feb and possibly some snow. But pretty much I will be able to race more there than here because it's just too hot to race come summer.

Suure, you come to West Palm and try to buy a house for upwards of $410K that's on the low end. And deal with the most rudest ******* people ever in this neck of the woods. Atleast your where it's not that much of a clusterfuck but savor Melbourne as it is................the south is going north, someday Melbourne will be a clusterfuck like Palm Beach, Broward and Dade.

I am leaving this **** for a new house that's gonna be around 2150 sq ft, 3/2/2.5 for under $190K
