I swear the lanes are only 5-feet wide on the turnpike! I avoid it at all costs!

What color is it? Isn't that the type of unmarked car the troopers use? People are probably slowing down for you.

LMAO OMG THEY ARE! My daughter LOVES it. She's like "Mom - scare people and make them THINK you are a COP!" LOL. It's comfy, it runs, and my friend's aunt can't drive anymore (over 65 of course) and she GAVE it to me! LOL! So hey, I'm all over it. I needed something else anyway as my Jetta was dying... It's dark gray - so yeah, I can scare people. LOL

You told us what you don't like to do...but what do you like to do? Beaches, hiking, fishing, shopping, zoos, amusement parks, etc?

My husband and i did a long weekend in Washington DC and loved it. We went to the zoo and had some great meals and enjoyed some nice relaxing evenings at a piano bar and a some lounges.
You could probably do florida for about $1000 (Miami/ Fort Lauderdale or Naples)
