Florida
It is fun to live here Mike, except for the rainy season...........
I NEVER drive my Mopars in the rain.......if I see droplets on my windshield, I'm runnin' for cover........
I took the Demon to Old Town in Kissimmee for a Saturday Night Cruise.....Lots of fun......until we saw the black cloud coming from the west........before we could even react, we heard the thunder and saw flashes.........There we were, stranded at the cruise, and the heaven's opened up.......I have NEVER seen such a storm in my life..........felt like the roof was gonna be crushed by the force of the rain..........After waiting 45 minutes, we had no choice but to drive her out of there......................Sorry ol' girl. She got a real bath goin' home on I-4.
I got the Scamp on the road on the 6th of this month. I wanted to go out for a decent drive, so I decided to drive down to Kissimmee. Turns out, Old Town has started a Wednesday night cruise! There were only a few cars, but we had a great time! Nice luck for our first night out.
The last time I went to Old Town, my '74 was a "Friday night car" and not a "Saturday night car". The cutoff for Saturday night was 1972. Since then they've changed the Saturday night cutoff to '74,
I'M IN :)
So that Friday night we went to a local cruise-in with about 25 cars, pretty good. And Saturday we went to Old Town! We found a good spot to park and headed over to Fun Spot next door for a ride on each of the 4 go-kart tracks they have. Way cool 8) We came back and walked the 200 or so cars that were there and got back to the car just in time to get in the cruise.
This is all just about the most fun I can imagine having with my family and my car.
My Scamp is a road warrior. I bought it in 2001 while I was driving a 2000 Stratus that I really liked. I sold the Stratus 6 months later when I realized that the gas in it was 6 months old. Having 2 sets of keys, I chose to drive the Scamp every time.
I lived in Rhode Island then and I drove it back and forth across the country and up and down the east coast several times. It sees rain, snow, mud, whatever the road throws at it. Stuff gets dirty. I clean it. Stuff breaks. I fix it.
Third week of June I'm driving the family from Florida to Massachusetts in it to visit my Dad. The end of July I'm driving it to Missouri to see my buddy graduate from boot camp. In between I'll be driving it everywhere else I go. I wonder what will happen to my '05 Mazda now that I have my Scamp back on the road?
Mike
