I've said before that I feel Orlando is one of the top automotive cities in the country.

Want to know another reason why? At the time of this writing, the temperature is 66º!

Also, I've heard that there's this white stuff that falls out of the sky up north. A bunch of people have told me about it, but I've still never seen it...

Not to rub it in for any Northerners reading, but us car people down here are lucky that we can play with our toys all year long.

Thus, the itinerary for December is just as jam-packed as any other month.

This upcoming weekend, there is a rallycross at the East Bay Speedway in Tampa on Saturday. Want to relive some childhood memories by playing in the dirt? Then give your tires a good kick, grab your helmet and buckle your seatbelt, and join us for some rallycross action! Yours truly will not only be attending this event, but participating as well.

Then, the weekend following that, Hot Import Nights takes over Miami. Over-the-top modified cars, drop-dead-gorgeous girls, all in an out-of-control dance club atmosphere, will all be crammed into the Miami Beach Convention Center on December 20th. Those looking for subtlety or peace and quiet simply need not attend.

So put your parkas back in the closet, stop blowing in your hands, and take that cover off your car... we've got an automotive scene that never hibernates.
