Well it all depends the area that you live in, not all of kendall is a shithole. Yes people can't drive for ****, yes most of miami you go to your may have to deal with people that just got to this country and already believe they are better than you, yes the traffic is outrageous. But lets look at the pros, the women are gorgeous, the weather except when a hurricane or t-storm is in the area is absolutely beautiful like right now i jus looked out my window and theres no cloud in the sky. Honestly now that the housing market has dropped a ton i would buy a house if i had the money in miami, prior to the drop it was almost impossible to even get an apartment. Gas is expensive everywhere so thats not really a problem, just don't fill up anywhere near the beach. If you go to the track all the time well all i can say is the 1/8 of the mile track is garbage, and Moroso well that place just sucks. I have heard from some people it has gotten better, but when i went it was ****. But if you go to the track occasionally Bradenton is nice drive to the North, near tampa.

I was also considering on getting a 2002 CETA, maybe even convertible but keeping it completely factory.

Not all the women are great - many are fresh from the fields of South America and looking for a meal ticket and a baby. Perhaps if you lived on South Beach and only mingled with the models you could ignore that fact. Otherwise Miami-proper has the same ratio of hot-to-not as any smaller poor city, just at a higher multiple.

The weather is the same 2/3 the way up the length of the state, so that's not specific to Miami.

There are at least 3 test & tune 1/4 mi tracks in the state, and none of them are within one county of Miami, so that's out too.

I don't know where you lived but many of the girls i have seen don't look like they are from the fields of South America. Maybe if you enjoy hanging out in Homestead in the open fields with the illegals yeah, but everytime i have gone to publix or some shopping center there are gorgeous women everywhere. And thats not including the ones you see walking around the Dolphin Mall, **** hot ones still even go to International Mall. Yeah great Miami doesn't have a 1/4 mile track it has some garbage 1/8 mile, but i hardly go to the track anyways. I stated if he was really into going to the track all the time then he would be better off going to the Bradenton track anyways.

It's least busy on Weds but track prep is better on Fri. Moroso doesn't find it necessary to prep well on Wednesdays with so few people.
