    If your in Florida YOU wouldn't like Michigan but I'm on 5 acres my shop is 70' long I have several cars out side without plates. no one says anything as long as its not an unsitely mess. If you have a 6' fence around an area and they can't see in they don't care whats inside.Personaly I love it here winter gives me time to build. Loots of car shows in nice weather. I used to live in Chicago and judged lots of shows there. Since I'm here I just enjoy them. Good luck in your search.

    How far do you want to go? Are you going to have family or friends left in Florida, that you want to see occasionally?

    Central or southern Arizona is nice. It sounds hot, but when the humidity is low, the temps feel cooler than they would be there. We also don't have hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, floods, volcanos, or even poison ivy or alligators. :-)

    If you want lots of sunshine and plenty of car activities, we've got 'em. Anything you can think of. You are also within driving range of LasVegas and southern California.

    Oh yeah... and the cars aren't rusted out!!!!

    We will be moving to Virginia if we can find a home that, first of all, makes my wife happy and secondly, I don't have to "restore" since after doing the last three, I'm burned out from too many 2x4's and sheet rock. What we have found in the Roanoke area are homes on 3 to 18 acres for about what we own on a wee bit less then one acre and taxes 1/3 of what I'm paying now. The summer is at least one month earlier and ends ~2 months later - and one home we looked at had a very nice '37 coupe in the second garage/workshop
