The only thing I don't like about the look of the 914 is the raised turn signal. Shave that down, and you have a great looking car IMO.

I had to take two new drivers up to Akron this week for orientation and training. Woke up Monday to 17 degrees with a wind chill putting us at 6 degrees. Then woke up on Tuesday to about 1.5" of lake-effect snow in Akron. After having driven up from South Carolina, where we're still deciding if we should unpack the winter coats.
![]() At least we weren't as bad off as the O/O who drove up from Florida... and had a wardrobe that consisted of short pants, and more short pants. ![]()

Nope, Grant, Florida about 20 minutes South of Melbourne along US1.
I always found it funny that its a total redneck town named after a Northern General.

LOL!! Holy Crap!! You have been the the Grant Seafood Festival?
I used to Work for Couch Pump Company back in the mod 80's as a drafter fresh from New Yawk. I was not recieved well by the good 'ol Boys there. It took a long time for them to warm up to me. Have you ever heard the stories about all the cocaine being trafficked in through there? That place was th ewild Wes tin the 80's and no one knew.

Indeed! Many, many times. I lived right there on Valkaria road during the 80's. Just a quick run down the ole Dixie Hwy...
![]() The valkaria airport was always rumored to be used. And, I always heard about jet ski's from the beach to off-shore boats to pick up "packages". They were wild times in that area. I was actually born and raised in the Melbourne/Palm Bay/Malabar/Valkaria area. As the area grew, we kept moving further out. Dad's still there. I used to LOVE that long sweeper on Valkaria road. ![]() - Skip

A very good friend of mine lives on Valkaria Road right on the Airport which is very active now. I lived in Palm Bay from 1985-1993. I used to go to the rope swing at Turkey Creek. Did you ever go there? How old are you? I bet we walked right pat each other a lot. I used to surf a lot at Vodoo Wall and 2nd light a Patrick, sometimes up at 16th steet and down at Ocean Ave. and when we felt like fighting with the Crawdaddy Crawfish we would fight for ried at 1st peak at the inlet. I used to play billiards at Golden Cue and was in love with this vampire looking chic in all leather that would beat anyone in there in a game. We hung out at Dairy Quenn and knew the girls working there doing whippits with them out back. I used to go to the Easter Surfing Festival at the Holiday Inn before it mored up to Cocoa Beach, We also used to party at the Hilton at night in the club there. Brassy's was the place to go see bands and the Airport Hilton ised to do small shows too.
