• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

True. Many is the time I've had long conversations with a complete stranger as though we've known each other for a long time. Just today at lunch, we talked to another couple and found out they use to live here in our town and they are members of the Corvette Club that holds car shows at the GM dealer we deal with.

Try that up north (back home in Baltimore) and you may end up shot.
 
Or retire to Hawaii and you can never walk back to conus.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.

You have my blessing, you can officially retire in 13 days, not before (unless of course, you have vacation time accrued you want to use)!

Florida description seems close...if you consider that as a full time non retired resident, we get a reprieve from Easter to Thanksgiving. From Thanksgiving to Easter is how you described it.
