Yes, hi Tangent!
I remember you once lived near Tyler, TX right?
I like Orlando to visit. Stayed near Vero Beach one weekend.
Say I thought of something,
You could sell those winter tires to a temporary visitor, you know the ones that come to FL for the winter then migrate back North in the Summer.
Oh well. just a thought.
I hope you enjoy the new car. FWIW I also flipped in a VW. I was the passenger. This occurred right smack in the middle of the SF-Oakland bay bridge. Luckily no serious injuries to me or my girlfriend. I had to crawl out of the front opening where the window used to be (was pushed out by my cheekbone). those bugs are pretty strong in certain respects (no roll bar necessary!)
