When I said pic at Southernmost Point I meant your car, who cares about selfies we are car guys, my wife gets pissed at me for snapping pics of the car when we are on a road trip and none of us.
Wife, kid and I just did a quick trip down to the Hard Rock in Ft. Lauderdale and home Thursday evening to see Penn and Teller. I always forget how much different S. Fla driving is compared to where I am, which is 45 minutes North of West Palm Beach.
The speed limit is 65. If you want to die, do 65.
Otherwise 80-100 is the average speed when the roads are clear. Always be prepared to go from 80 - 0 at any given moment. Floridians LOVE to look at police cars on the side of the road. If there is an accident it is 10X worse.
I sat in a 30 minute stop and go traffic Jam somewhere between WPB and Boca because there was an accident on the other side (I was heading SB the accident was on the NB side) and everyone had to stop and look before moving on.
Do not use your directionals, no one does and if you do it just give the person in the lane next to you and behind you a chance to floor it and close the door on you.
If you change lanes, be sure to check and double check, even if you are doing 80 someone will be weaving in and out of the traffic at 120 MPH and will be on you in an instant. Happens all the time you have to look in your rear view as much as you do forward down there.
When I would go to PCA events in Miami in my 911, I would always get some doofus stepping up to me on the road because I had a 911.
Mine was pretty special it was a 81 SC with a 91 3.6 swapped in that was massaged nicely. So it would scoot, I was happy to oblige the local dorks and typically surprise the hell out of them. This was 10 years ago, not sure the car would still hold up now.
