For some of us, there’s nothing more enjoyable than rolling down the windows, letting the wind whip through our hair, and jamming out to some awesome tunes while on a road trip.

If you listened to us locals talking, you’d probably think that hurricanes are something that happen several times per year. Most Floridians take them in stride and consider it all part of living in such an incredible and beautiful state. The fact is, though, that most tropical storms don’t turn into a hurricane all that often...

Okay, I sort of hate myself for what I’m about to say, but I’ve got to say it anyway: Florida does not require you to wear a helmet when you’re riding a motorcycle, provided that you have a minimum of $10,000 in medical insurance.

There’s nothing quite like clearing your schedule for a couple days, grabbing your bestie, and piling into your car for a fun weekend getaway on the beautiful Florida coast (East or West, though?).

This is it. You’re selling your house, scaling down, and taking the plunge: you’re going to move into your RV and live the nomad life. While there’s a certain romantic air that comes with taking to the road and living in your recreation vehicle, the fact is, the RV life isn’t for everyone.

Distracted driving is a nationwide problem, it's true. As drivers, we've been lucky to have some more relaxed laws in some ways when it comes to distracted driving. Thus far, you can't be pulled over JUST for texting and driving.

There’s a certain thrill of a long car trip that can excite even the most reserved stoic. The promise of the open road, the hint of an adventure, letting our tongues flop out of our mouths while we peek our snouts out the open window...
