[Mk2 Generic] Red Rev1(?), Miami, 6th March.

[3SGE]

I was driving a gold Chevy Trailblazer 'SUV'. LOL. :-)

My passenger got a picture, will post it up when I get a chance. Dissapointed in the small number of 2s in Florida. They'd love the weather over there. 9 out of 10 cars is a 'SUV' of truck. Where're all the imports Hollywood lead us to believe are lurking on every corner? All I saw were a load of nasty Honda Civics with weasily exahusts. Sort it out Florida!

One thing that did catch my attention was the lack of good fuel. Normal grade is 83, super is 93! Not even a 95!!

US fuel uses a different scale - their 93 is equivalent to our SUL (97), US 89 is roughly our 95. (all down to the differences between RON & MON, IIRC we use RON and they use an average of RON & MON)

In some states over there they can also get race gas on the forecourt, I'm told.. now that does sound nice.

Ah, I didn't know that. I remember a lot of pumps had some blurb written on stickers which seemed to indicate how it was worked out. One neat trick they have on their forcourts is the auto-fill trigger you can just clamp on and leave filling. Didn't see any racefuel, sounds kinda dangerous with the number of people I saw using moble phones and even SMOKING(!!!) in the garages. :-)

Still, a shameful turnout of vehicles for such a warm and sunny destination. Might be in part due to that large number of tourists driving hire cars I guess. A t-bar/spider would be sweet over there. My poor car's covered in salty grime right now again. :-(
