Why I would think that there would be a ton of Vettes on the streets there!

You need to go to the Miami area or the east coast Sarasota, St. Pete
etc. Loads of Vettes at these places. Boca Raton is for old folks
or try Daytona area. (not a long drive for ya).

Would be nice to have Florida weather right now, but not gonna happen. I know how you feel, but until winter is over, the car stays inside.

Maybe Corvettes are afraid of rats.

I've heard there are more Corvettes in Florida than in any other state in the nation. Is this true?

There are a lot of 'Vettes down here

If the weather is good, you can head down to the Tower Shoppes. It's a shopping center on University drive just south of I595. Every Friday, there's a really good cruise-night. There is usually a large group of 'Vettes. Things get cooking around 7 PM.

I drove my C5 to work today and saw a bunch of Vettes. I was surprised at the number of C6's but also saw C5's and a couple of C4's too. I love this time of year!

There is the Reflections in glass January 19 2008 in Boca Raton at the Mission Bay Plaza NW corner Glades rd. A large Corvette show. It should be a good show.

Should of dropped by the Towers Shop in Davie Friday night, we had our Vettes out. Each and every Friday night we meet.
Next time in Florida here is a link to web site, where all the car shows are happening around here, or check out past shows.

Vettes are too cheap and common in other areas to be seen in Boca.
