The only reason I would ever move to Flawwda would be for no anual smog-inspection
I can't even comprehend how awesome it would be to have no limit to mods |

I can't even comprehend how awesome it would be to have no limit to mods And most of the cops in the area where I am could care less about speeders. They are after real criminals and traffic is beneath them. 82 in a 70 won't raise an eyebrow. Slicing across 3 lanes like a jackwagon is grounds for a lecture, of course. But it is humid. There isn't a huge volume of high tech jobs. But there are many more big companies and upscale jobs than 15 years ago. The corporations have been moving offices here in droves. I did just get passed by a BMW i8. Much of the ground is flat. |

I definitely couldn't handle smog inspections. I always end up hacking stuff up so there's no hope of ever passing for stock. |

You just have to stick to the coasts. If you venture into the middle of the state you will run into Florida Man.
The middle of the state typically just has regular ol' rednecks that drink beer, hunt, fish, and go mud bogging in their 4x4s. They are pretty harmless. Think "Troy's high school classmates". |
That's crazy.
And it's not even the speeding that I'm lusting after, cause I honestly don't even speed more than once in a blue moon (usually short burst and then back to speed limit) It's being able to modify a car any way you like. That must be heaven. Huge turbo? Sure. Custom harness? why not. Standalone ecu? Of course. Crazy 5" exhaust out the hood? go for it. hngg |

I dunno about that. I think Florida man lives in Pinellas Park. And his extended family lives up in Holiday, New Port Richey, and Hudson.
