    Work's been a little slow, and when I used to live in south Florida, I belonged to a Mustang club and they would do a cruise in tribute to 9/11 and to raise money for a charity, so I decided to do a road trip in the TV Eagle. I left TN Thursday morning for Florida. I stopped in St Pete Thursday night to visit a friend and drove to Coconut Creek, FL on Friday where I was staying with a friend for a couple nights. On the way, I stopped at Tampa Bay and took some pics.

    I took some back roads through Arcadia and Okeechobee and saw a mural in Arcadia and stopped to take more pics.

    On Saturday, I met up with the Mustang club at Tropical Park in Miami and then we drove down to Islamorada in the Keys.

    I'm staying in Naples. FL tonight at my sisters and headed home tomorrow. The car is running great and averaging 22.5 mpg.

    HA HA HA HA HA, talk about an odd duck! But it looks like a very beautiful drive, and for a good reason.

    Very cool! I like what they did to the Eagle.
    (And you 'technically' still fit in with the Mustang club with that, don't you?)

    Nice photos. Is the last picture at Holiday Isle? We've gone to several car shows there if it was.
    You fit in there at that event just like that Texan at the Corvette show!:sarcasticclap::LOL:

    They allow any domestic muscle car, hot rod, etc. at the 9/11 event, but some of the Four Eye forum guys weren't to thrilled that a Mustang was cut up to make it, but most of the South Florida guys didn't even seem to notice it. They all have close to brand new Mustangs.
    It was at the Chesapeake Hotel.

    Thanks guys. Made it home safe and have a couple more pics to share. There were over 100 cars but hard to get them all in one pic.

    I can no longer say it has less than 100k miles. It turned over in Atlanta.

    Those two lite blue Mustangs look nice!
    Now you have a brand new Eagle. That's rare for the year, zero mileage. Musta been a barn find.
