They tried sailing a Chevy, then they gave the Buick a go

I admire Senor Grass' pluck, but I would advise him not to remain in Florida much longer.

Regards, Ivan


Remember.

Too true! Putting innocent Americans to death is almost enough to make a Floridian flee to Cuba!

Well I wouldn't go that far.

North to Georgia is just fine.

Good thing he did it now...General Motors is thinking about shutting down Buick. It would have been a real hassle getting parts later if he waited too long.

If you support the forcible dehydration and starvation of a disabled woman, you have some bloody nerve calling me sick.

Sigh. I search in vain for a non-TerriAllTheTime thread.

He could even make money bringin' old Chevy's into the States. A few tri-fives ('55,'56 & '57's) would put him on easy street.

Big ugly '59 Buicks will still sell, but they're just not as valuable. Although, they probably would be easier to sail with those "wings".

Bless these Cubans. I'm for tight immigration controls but I'd like to see them stay, one, they are fleeing Communism, and two, I admire resourceful people like these, we need more people like them. Anyone that really puts it on the line by making a car/truck float, well, they deserve to stay in the U.S. My hats off to them. I do agree with you about not staying in Florida, if they can go the 90 miles to Florida, I think the old bucket has a lot of life left in her to take them to Georgia.

Sorry, I'll do better with my next article. There are only a few Terri articles in the British press.

Georgia or Alabama. I must say I liked Mobile, Alabama.

I hope this guy lands himself a gazillion dollar movie deal. I know I'd buy a ticket to see it, and I'm sure he'd put the money to excellent use.

It's a great article, and I think the guy's a hero representing the best in freedom-lovers.

It's just that, frankly, I'm sick of all the repetitive Terri stuff over and over with nothing new being offered; FR is sinking under the boring weight of it all. The same bombastic comments are popping up everywhere, relevant or not.

Regards,
Hank

FWIW It's a 6-7 hour drive to the state line from Tampa-St.Pete area, probably a 10-12 hour drive from Miami or Key West. Are you proposing a wager? LOL

they were reprimanded and told to stop drinking while on patrol.

I welcome this guy to the US.

These guys are a hoot. Fleeing communism is not usually done with such panache.

They need their own show on Discovery, a la Junkyard Wars.

Great tagline.

And I agree. I've read enough about the Schaivo case to know where I stand on this issue and have learned to skim quickly past references to it on an unrelated thread, sort of like a mental filter.

Oh, and if he wants to open an auto shop, I am ready to invest.
