Any nice roads near miami? If no what’s the point of owning a supercar there ?

Not really. Lived in Florida 45 years, and other than running the road out to Lake Okeechobee, the roads are pretty boring. I live in GA now, and there are tons of great roads once you are about an hour north of Atlanta. Have been coming up here since 2008 to enjoy the roads, moved here in 2012, and a pretty large group from Florida still come up twice a year or so to enjoy them. Most of our original group from Fchat don't post here much (if at all).

 

A ride through the Florida Keys is always available living in Miami. Leave early in the morning to miss the traffic.

Cheers

 

I’m afraid Miami is a terrible city for enthusiast drivers. Other than parking your car outside of trendy areas to be seen there are no good twisty roads.

Frankly driving in Miami has gotten so bad I don’t see the point of driving anything there at all. Broward isn’t any better. With the decline of track enthusiasts and the rise of primmadonna shows we don’t have real track events like we used to.

 

umm the macarthur causeway early in the morning is the best drive ever. You'll see me in my 575 on it at 7 am or so a couple times a week having a nice run on the water.

 

Yeah, if that’s what you are used to you are going to be very, very unhappy with Miami driving.

Sorry. I wish it was different. I’d kill for good roads and runs like this with friends. Going in a straight line from restaurant to restaurant just to park and drink cocktails isn’t my thing either. At least we don’t have winter!

Next best thing is going to have to be Homestead Speedway and Sebring track time.

 

If you want a guided tour of the good stuff in north Georiga / WNC I would be happy to oblige. I recently finished my cabin about two hours north of Atlanta, or if you prefer to stay for a long weekend closer to the city my house is about an hour north of Atlanta. Let me know what your plans are, and I will see what my schedule allows. Some people here know me, and can attest to my route planning. Feel free to send me a PM here to get in contact.

 

florida may be flat and boring..... but at least you don't have the pot holes like here in NY, terrible road surface's here...

 

Is there a problem with this thread? The initial post does not appear, nor does the thread itself in the Florida forum. I accessed it because it shows as the most recent post in the general site directory.

I'll flag it to the moderator in case there's a technical problem.

 

Not seeing the problems you're describing. It's listed as one of the top threads in Florida due to recent posts and I can see the first post fine.

What browser are you using?

 

I'm using an iPad at the moment.

Edit: I'm still not seeing post #1.

Thread still does not show at the top of the Florida forum.

 

Well, it appears I had the IP on ignore. I have no idea why! Sorry....and thanks, Yin.

Now, where's that red-faced imogi?

 

I just looked in on this thread on an iPad/Safari and it still looks OK. Sorry, I'm not seeing what you're describing. That usually suggests that there's something local going on. But I'll post it to the admins to see if they're aware of anything like this.

 

See post 18 above.

Thanks for your help.

 

Glad it's resolved!

 

I hate it when your signature applies to me!

 

Now, to respond to the IP, I lived in south Florida for over 50 years. Except for some interesting drives in south Miami, there never were, and still aren't any interesting, fun driving roads. Flat and straight, that's what you get, plus 50 years' more traffic congestion. I guess if you own a supercar in sofla you cruise South Beach or Las Olas, go to cars and coffee, or ship it to western NC to do some mountain driving.

 

Miami is horrible.. at least for driving.
