Ever notice that about 1/2 of the "cops" show is shot in FloriDUH? Must be the heat.. I love the Keys, especially back in the "Conch Republic" days when you had to go through "customs" to get from the keys to the mainland! Orlando is a necessary evil. And Miami is just nuts, both in a good and bad way. The weather is better than Chicago by far, if you enjoy upper 80s. If you are a 65 degree person, try the pacific northwest. I remember when R-12 was 1st outlawed. For a while there was better money in smuggling R-12 into Miami than coke. Also less machine guns. Now with all the alternative refrigerants, R-12 recycled from old equipment, and bootleg R-12 from overseas getting the stuff is easy, and no where near as expensive as it used to be. As far as driving a Vanagon in the heat, be sure the roof is white. That will cut the interior temp by 20 degrees. Chris Smith Back in Chicago for good.
