I got to meet a second Gotmeader face to face!
- Thread starter Chevette Girl
- Start date
Whew! What a hijack! lol
Anyway...to get back on topic! It's always great to meet folks from online forums. I've had a few from my mopar forums and from audiokarma and I'm always amazed at how much we have in common considering most of us are from very diverse backgrounds.
The audio thing especially breeds "birds of a feather" Last person I met from the audiophile community freaked out when he saw my Plymouth Road Runner. It's a nice car, but not like "freak out" nice, but then he shows me a Road Runner tattoo!
So open invitation to all who want to visit Miami Beach this winter and warm up a bit. I'll have the BBQ ready with some steaks or pulled pork and plenty to drink! You can always cab it back to the hotel and I will pick you up the next morning to get the rental and a good Irish breakfast.

LOL, you wouldn't believe the number of comments I get from random strangers about my 'vette... got waved at today, even... And a good number of Gotmeaders have owned or driven one...
seriously thinking about that passport thing today, it was -33C this morning at work... but I'll have to come up with some way to rent a car and have it covered under insurance that doesn't cost me more than the rental, my insurance agent laughed at me when I asked if I could get comprehensive with the Beast...

First of all, it's a collector car and you can get Grundy or Hagerty to insure it for something like $200 bucks a year full coverage. Just as long as you don't drive the wheels off it on a yearly basis... they are usually OK with 3 or 4K miles a year.
Second...if you have a major credit card, they cover the insurance on a rental car. Just decline all coverage. Call your card company (assuming you have one) and ask.
Third... GET DOWN HERE! It was 80F today and sunny.

Well, if you do the passport thing and decide to stop in Ferndale to visit Schramms, lets us Michigan Trolls know

Oh, I'll be very public about it, promise
Yeah, it's my daily driver and I put at least 500 km on it a week. No antique auto insurance for me. However, liability and basic whatever is still only around $700/year...
Neither of my cards currently have that although I know a few people who have cards that do, but I know they involve a yearly fee, I don't know if it comes free with any other card I could get. It was something I planned to investigate if I ever needed to rent a car again but it wouldn't be worth it until that happens.
I used to live up there, couple blocks west of Outer Drive and Warren , just south of Warren (that is, half a block south of the Detroit/Dearborn Hts border).....we got out when the gettin' was good, headed south to TN....I DON'T miss the snow
And don't forget Boston!
We dont plow til' the snows done! And, I saw a rat eating some spit a few months ago. But that was Somerville actually.
Heh.
But seriously.
Get a passport.
Get one for your husband.
You know I believe in a gifting based economy...
Don't be surprised if I pick you both up for a Thursday Trivianight at Schramm's sometime this summer...I could use some Chateau Chevette...

MI Trolls Beware.
If she gets a passport for herself and himself...I truly am threatening to make a road trip to Ottawa this summer to bring them to Schramm's for supper.
GOOD! Because Miami SUCKS.
Miami BEACH is where all the cool kids hang out. Ask Medsen...he'll tell ya.
