Hi everyone,

Cauley Ferrari is having an open house car show this Thursday night and Ford GT’s are welcome! How cool would it be if we all pulled in together? Maybe meet up somewhere before. So I am calling all 05-06 and new GT’s. Let’s represent and hang out with fellow car enthusiasts. Who’s in? :)

Mr. Sims......after spending, off and on, about 20 tears of my life in Michigan, I can safely say it's a wonderful place to visit. You are no farther than 10 minutes, in any direction, from a lake.

As far as moving there, you may want to weigh the benefits of experiencing 4 seasons in one day (any day of the year), relentless mosquitos during the summer, beautiful new fallen snow that quickly becomes mud brown and filled with autobody destroying salt. Spring lasts a few days or so, though when Spring does pop up, it's glorious!

The Wine Country of Michigan is Paw Paw. Great vintners!

You will find yourself taking many trips to SoCal and Miami, and only renting convertibles for your trip. Locals will easily discern that you are a visitor, because you're the only one driving a convertible. :thumbsup

Yeah , don't move here.... you guys love 'Governor Moonbeam' too much. ... He is good and promising for the state of California...

Plus your low taxes and especially the fact that at least once a year you can visit your California Department of Motor vehicles, show off your Ford GT's and have them conduct the 'Vehicle Inspection.. " .. make sure that front license plate is firmly attached...

BUT...I would have a 'back up' plan just in case …. and you are all welcome to come and camp out at my farm when California :

..runs out of water
...gets consumed by brush fires
...and starts to slip westward into the ocean.

I would only be a summer visitor to MI. I have to live where my grandkids & that is CA. Also I notice that at least 25% of CA autos don't display front plates. $5-10 fix it ticket every 5 years or so.

I am going on a beautiful Lake Tahoe drive this weekend as I have been driving along the Pacific coast all winter & am ready for some mountain driving. One of the few attributes of CA. Ha!

Yes.....we do have Moonbeam and his Magic Hat of Accounting Tricks. Quite frightening how somebody can come up with a $6B budget surplus out of thin air. I didn't realize California has it's own printing presses.....though I can say we do have a surplus of 'fruits n nuts'.

Mr. Bennet, it's only every other year that we have to stop by a Smog Station to shove a sniffer up the tailpipe. They won't be looking for a front license plate (I have as of yet to attach a front tag on any of my cars in the 25 years I've lived here), turn signal out, or anything else. Just looking for pollution, and if you had made a trip to SoCal in the 60's/70's, you would understand why. Night and Day my friend.

As far as the water, fires, ocean erosion......'come on Mr. Bennet, I didn't mention water (Flint), fires (Detroit), or erosion (Great Lakes). It was a lighthearted commentary, much like I assumed Mr. Sims was making in the first place.

You’re safe, it’s a big, thick limb you’re out on. I was on my way to Indy for qualifying. Sadly missed a great night - weather perfect, a rare Michigan moment. ;-)

Ha ha, at least it seems like the death grip of winter has finally softened.
