Learning Experience 1: People who would like to move to Florida should watch this video. A long life experience of living in Florida does some peculiar things to some people's mental functioning, or so I've been told from my brief periods of living there. Notice that although there was a very large crowd of people on the shore, it was just a relatively small number of people in the water. So it's only a small minority of people infected with this problem.
Learning Experience 2: Be wary or buying a used Florida car or truck.

Ok, just to be serious, it's really great that so many people volunteer to help someone in trouble. But to what extent do you want to help people? If someone is so foolish to drive their car into to salt water to launch a boat, I'm certainly not going to sacrifice my car or truck to drive into salt water to save them.

Uh, well YES, as a matter of fact.....back early '97 before I moved here, I drove my vette on the beach....same car I have now....
:bounce:
BUT then again some friends lost a Olds 98 something, it was White and was called a 'Great White Whale' because of it being so OVER sized....
one of the guy got it from his folks, hand me down, and so it was lost on one of the Florida beaches, I think Daytona....back years ago....
The Great White Whale, Lost at Sea....

It was like a nature documentary on lemmings.:quote:
Back in the days of unrestricted beach access in Daytona, this was a daily affair, numerous vehicles every day, during peak times. Almost always, tourists would park on the beach and go to local bars or whatever, with no idea of tide movement.
When the cars were deep enough, the tow trucks in Daytona at least were bright enough to stay dry and winch them out.
Certainly wouldn't want to keep one of these cars very long.
And ya, they're a dying breed, but Florida hillbillies can put other states to shame. I remember way back when, they used to carry sawed off pistol grip mini14s in their pick'm ups, no fun hunting unless you were poaching at nite and using cats for bait when shark fishing.
