Mike, I just realized you owned a BLACK car in Florida! :eek: We were in Orlando last June for the Hot Rod Power Tour, and it was 99 degrees, already! I was shocked to see the kind of damage the sun did to cars down there. You're a brave guy to have a black car in FLA!

It was so hot, I couldn't wait to get outta there. But Jacksonville, and Perry, GA were just as hot! We didn't get into some (more) comfortible temps and humidities until Columbia, SC.

It was funny, by the time we got to Englishtown, NJ, we had to wear light jackets. Go figure.

Evening Doug, All!!! All of my show cars, from the time I started the hobby back in the late 70's, have always, and will probably always be black.

Being a native Floridian, anything below 80 degrees, I go into a coma. It could be 99 everyday buddy, and that would be just fine with me. As for the black, I don't drive the cars enough for it to bother me, and with 13% tint, it's really not that bad. Says me, right?!?!?!?

Next time you come through, let me know and I'll see if there's a car show close by that you might enjoy. I live about 20 minutes SW of St. Augustine.

Regards my friend!! Mike

Ha, Ha, Mike! I guess it's what you get used to! Being a native Michigander, I'm turning on the AC any time it gets above 80 degrees.

We've had a cold spell here for the last week or so, with temps dropping to zero or below every night. That's a little too cold, .......... but I would rather have this than 90+.

Very cool, Mike. I'm a "sort-of" guitar player. Much more a guitar collector! LOL Mostly Gibsons, and a couple of Fenders. The wife has been very understanding as I've managed to aquire around 20 guitars! (It's a sickness, just like cars )
