if you are going to be in South Beach, then you are already in a good place for a lot of "tourist stuff". Lincoln and Colins ave have some really good shopping and stuff like that. the beaches in that area are obviously pretty nice.

not sure if they all still meet up or not, but they used to meet up at Fudruckers on 104 and US1. and they used to meet up at La Carretta off of Bird. those are both a pretty good drive from South Beach and i am not even sure if they still meet up there or not?

Fud SUCK....No real car meets in Miami (Mustang one). What you should do is go to "Tower Shops" in Broward on Friday at 5pm to 10pm. I95 North to I595 west to University Dr. get to light make a Left. Second Light make a left into the shopping plaza and you'll see the cars. Mustangs are on the far left of the plaza (by Office Depot). I mite be out there. Wish you were coming on the week of the 20th. I'm starting a Mustang Challenge at Moroso Motor Sports Park in WPB..........

PS. On S.Beach at night with your family, there really not much to do. Alot of drunks and punks (I work Miami Beach Fire Department so I know)Day time is the best. Ocean Dr to do the cafes. Lincoln RD to shop (EXPENCIVE) Washington ave to see "INK" that Tattoo place on TV and other shopping stuff.

just my $.02

I used to go down to Pompano Beach every week this past summer so I know how South Beach gets... I just wanted to show the rest of my family what its like.


We're only going for a couple of days so I'm not even sure we'll get to do what I had planned but I hope that they're not bored, so far I was thinking:

- Go to the Seminole Hard Rock one evening
- Go to Boca Raton one afternoon, then drive down A1A to the Houstons in Pompano and dine out on the Intercoastal watching the canal traffic, its kinda neat
- Go to Key West for a day (although I doubt I can convince my parents to bare the 4 hour drive each way... but we'll see)
- Do one of those Millionaires Boat tours at Bayside Mall or do a Glass bottom boat tour out of Pompano

etc.

PS. I will be applying to Nova Southeastern this fall and someone told me there are Ford meets right around the corner... since you mentioned University Ave (441) thats probably where its at.

heh... don't get me wrong, the things I listed will probably take a few hours each day.

whereas we'll be roaming the South Beach area and specifically the beach during the day and the restaurants by night the rest of the time there.

believe me, booking a hotel in South Beach versus anywhere else in Miami-Dade or Broward County areas was very strategic... lol


I always rely on the worst case scenario... if my folks won't be up for any trips to the casino or the keys, they can always fall back on just going to the beach within walking distance and still be in the center of the scene.


Oh yea I forgot, one of the nights I wanna stop by at the Las Olas blvd place by Riverside... time permitting.

Towers is your best bet for show and to look at cars...
The City does have it's spots.. Fudruckers was good back in the days.. but since the fast and te furious came to town it's nothing but 13 sec Hondas who think there fast trying to mess with every muscle car they see.. But if you want to race La Carreta on thurs night is the spot to be at...


But have fun enjoy the town.. Miami is beautiful at night...
