Title: 9/11 Patriot Run Islamorada, FL
Post by: eaglefreek on September 13, 2015, 09:26:00 PM
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 love how your car looks, makes all those mustangs look kinda bad.....

Nope.

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.

Was yours the oldest car to participate?  I didn't spot any classic Mustangs in the pictures.

No, there was a mid 60's Mustang convertible, a Pantera and a 57 Chevy there, also.
