FL is flat. Until you reach Ocala, the only large hills are garbage mounds stuck beside the turnpike. Twisties? Hahaha. Not to mention extreme humidity for 9 months of the year with a good dose of hot mixed in and of course, hurricanes. And traffic. 90 yr old blue hairs mixed with FL-style ‘ricers’ all clogging your straight – very, very, very straight - boring roads. And that’s for 12 months of the year. Oh yeah, & you get extra traffic as we all come down & jump in Mustang rentals & scream around in the winter & the summer months visiting Mouseland & beyond.

We know the truth.

I could not agree with you more. But, there are some nice roads to carve up. You just have to know where to find them. Plus, wee do DE's all year long and Autocrosses as well, So there!!

I ended up buying a house in Western North Carolina near Procon so I can get away from the hot hot hot summers in Florida. I also have someplace to go when the Hurricanes come. (notice I did not say IF) We named the house Category 5 because it is our new residence after the fateful Cat 5 storm levels our home.
