Depends on weather you prefer Hurricanes or Tornados.....buddy of mine lives in Florida...it gets so humid there he works on his car at 3am.





Yep, I am a tornado kinda guy, they have small paths and are gone in an instant, grew up in northern Indiana and got knocked down by one the day before my birthday in the mid 70's that killed a couple of people in Monticello, IN. I hate humidity also, that is why I still live up nort. I hear TN can be bad with humidity also, but shorter span.

Remember what happened at the Corvette museum?

Even if you do not seek out a cave, the cave may come to you.


I heard the hole opened up and swallowed the Vette museum because the plant used to be a Chrysler AirTemp facility before GM bought it and moved manufacturing there, just normal retribution, hit them where it hurts the most! laugh2

1921 it was built to be a Dodge Brothers dealership but never opened as that, don't know much between then and 1944 when it became a DeSoto dealership then Plymouth and Chrysler until 2009 when a certain President decided there was no room to let dealers for Chrysler make money anymore... mad


Wow, maybe we should started a Moparts go fund site to save it, thats a very historic automobile building, especially for this crowd IMO, I hope it gets saved intact, and not a new location for a Wawa?

My recollection of the dealer trimming in the 08 recession is different, I thought its was an underhanded scam by corporate to prop up their favorite dealers, I never understood how it was more profitable for Corporate by reducing number of independent franchises, although it was popular to blame everything on the person in charge at the time.

The odd thing is every single franchise closed was Republican owned except one. Corporate had nothing to do with it as I recall, it was Obama's team that made the decisions .

I was in high school at Culver Indiana when the “super outbreak” of tornados occurred.
I was super bored and suggested that all us military cadets go out and help people clean up.
The school had once before sent out students to help during floods.

To my surprise the ex-general head of the school said yes,
cancelled classes,
and us ROTC students loaded up in buses and 2.5 Ton dual fuel military trucks and went up to pile up trash.

Way more memory making then sitting in class.

I have a book about the super outbreak in Kentucky.

I seriously doubt that conclusion, unfortunately in today's climate, accuracy is no longer a virtue, and I am not directing that you as so much as maybe your source.
If so, it is IMO highly questionable and likely illegal. Im sticking to my earlier stated suspicion, corporate wanted to favor select dealers with greater market share.

Sometimes I look at the houses/properties in Tennessee just for fun. Real estate there is much more reasonable than it is where I live. Obviously you'd want to do your homework for quality of life of any area but seems like a great bang for your buck.

Good luck with the sale. That sure was a cool building.

Don't envy you right now Jim.

The bankruptcy was such a raw deal for so many loyal dealers that had been in business forever. Chrysler used it as an excuse to get rid of a lot of smaller dealers. Most leaned right because they were mostly small town dealers and those areas generally lean that way.

I personally spoke with several dealers that got the axe and they had a similar suspicions. One has been in business much longer (IIRC '70's ish), owned the property outright and was a more profitable store that two others in his same area of ft lauderdale.

Congratulations Rhinodart and Gods speed in whatever you choose. beer
As far as I'm concerned, Florida is the best choice if you can swing enough $ and many would gladly welcome you here up The high humidity does take some getting used to and is NOT exclusive to Florida by any means. I remember my Napa AutoCare Center shop in the Atlanta area would not only get hotter than any Florida day, sometimes over 100*, it would get just as humid. Some days wouldn't have even a slight breeze whatsoever! Dead still heat and humidity that I felt was prepping me for what hell's reception lobby would feel like. shock

Congrats on your sale. Hopefully the funds will be enough for you to continue your hobby and make the golden years into platinum one.

If you have any questions about large sales and information, feel free to pm me. I have done several large sales, estate sales and auction liquidations in the last few years and can give you some insight on selling, auction house contract, private sales and other such stuff.

If you decide to move to Florida, Mid Florida up to North Florida is the place to be. The property and county taxes in South Florida are rediculously high. Lots of car related events and swap meets from mid Florida all the way to North Florida.
Not as much in South Florida. I live in South Florida and looking to make a move up mid to North Florida area in a couple years.
