    40 years old today! I do have to question why in the world this Metro didn't go to the Miami Airport from the very beginning in 1984. If it was properties in the way then why didn't that extension get built after Andrew hit in 1992? It took Miami 28 years to finally wise up.

    I lived through Hurricane Andrew in Kendall. We huddled in a hallway with a mattress covering the opening. My dad used to say it sounded like 100 gorillas trying to break in. My dad realized in the peak of the storm that the back door opened inward, and was a weak point. He and my mom left me and my younger brother in the hallway while they went and jammed a couch between the door and the wall, and returned to huddle in the hallway, with a mattress laid down, a radio, snacks, and the nearby bathtub full of water. When we emerged in the morning everything was covered in a bright green film. Our chainlink fence, I remember, was bright green, it ground leaves up into a pulp. Things I didn't recognize as ours, all over our lawn. Our toolshed, gone, the only thing left was the foundation. A nearby culdesac had it worse, several of those homes had their furniture sucked out of the house and tossed into a lake behind their properties. It was surreal. The howling was constant and at its peak it did feel quite frightening, you felt the whole house shaking under strain. I remember coming back to school, I was in 4th grade at Kendale Lakes, and a girl in my class had her mother pass away. They were in a trailer in Homestead. I remember being horrified at the aerial footage of homestead. My grandmother ended up with a peacock in her yard from the Zoo.

    Nobody talks about the Cubans who were also in the Peruvian Embassy in Havana 1980 and who left Cuba with flights to Costa Rica. By the way, I was a lucky one able to get in one of the few flights that Fidel Castro allowed and because he wasn't getting a good press, he then created the Mariel boatlift to send bad Cubans to Miami, and thus he created a different view for the Cuban people who were actually at the embassy.

    I grew up on GB radio- he would come on at 5:30 am with his Lone ranger theme song, which was better than any alarm clock. Had a radio in every room tuned to 106 fm. Then in the car on the way to work- couldn't have made it w/o him, Mr friendly, Don Agony, and all his circus crew- It was pure radio talent, not to mention "palmetto bug horror stories" from his female listeners (true stories} that only Floridians would know. Thanks for the mems- break a leg, Greg!

    In early '81 I bought a brand new Caprice with a gas V-8. Beautiful car, very roomy, comfortable, smooth, and quiet. I took it back to the dealer for its first scheduled service, and while I was waiting for it there was a new Citation parked by the showroom. I'm not sure if it was an '81 or a leftover '80. I asked my salesman how well they were selling, etc, and he didn't seem to care much for them. He told me to take it for a drive while I was waiting for my Caprice, which I did. I could not believe how crude and unfinished it felt, especially for a brand new, no-miles car. It felt like something someone had built in their garage from odds and ends. Very half-baked and not well sorted out. I remember having to be careful on the brakes because they felt very grabby, and that later turned out to be one of several problem areas with the early X-cars. It was still very early in X-car production at that time and the bad press really hadn't yet taken hold, but when it did, based on that one test drive I wasn't surprised. GM finally started getting the problems ironed out in later model years, but in typical GM fashion especially back then, by the time they started making things right it was too late, the model's reputation was already past saving, and another group of former GM customers had gotten burned and sworn off ever buying another GM product. I was already very happy with my Caprice, in fact it's still one of my favorite vehicles of the around 40 I've owned so far, but driving that Citation made me appreciate it even more. I had a similar experience a few years before, in 1977. I bought a used 1972 Fury 360, which turned out to be a very good vehicle and never let me down in the 3 years I owned it. The Chrysler-Plymouth dealer where I bought it (for $750) had sold it new five years before and just the day before had taken it back in on trade for a new Plymouth. While I was waiting for the purchase paperwork to be done browsed around the showroom, and there was a very sharp, highly optioned, new Volare parked on the floor. It had an eye-poppingly high price tag, and I was a bit jealous of anyone who could afford such a thing. However, once again it was a new model very early in its production run that was destined to cause its parent company a lot of bad press and ill-will among formerly loyal customers. Like the GM FWD X-cars a few years later, the Volare/Aspen twins were rushed into production with too many shortcuts and "we'll fix it later" compromises. The resulting financial and PR train wreck is automotive history. Meanwhile, as the bad press piled up, I was no longer jealous of whoever bought that pricey Volare, and even more happy with my humble, reliable, $750 Fury. 😄
