Piggly Wiggly fee? So now you expect Florida to impose a fee on
Bahamians who take your wife for a ride, just because they expect
cruisers to foot some of the expenses imposed on the Bahamian's due to
their cruising life style? Get real, dude.

BB,
Isn't it possible to disagree with Skipper without the personal insults?


Ya know, I was wondering the same thing. Here is a legitimate thread, providing
information for both sides. But, it has to be drug down by a few who can't resist
going to attack mode.

Un-real!

As for the thread, no, cruise ship passengers aren't required to pay a fee to get off
the ship onto a Bahama Island.



A legitimate thread whose perpetrator introduced racism?


I took it to mean that the black officials voted for the fees and the white
officials didn't. Is it a fact that *all* the government officials in the
Bahamas are black?

While you're doing that, and if you take Road and Track, see if you can
find which
issue had the test of the 2005 Mustang GT. Please?

Sorry. I only read about fast cars.

Thanks! Now all I have to do is find a copy, since Eisboch won't tell me
what it did in the quarter mile.

At least the Mustangs did a job on the BMW M3's at the Daytona Grand-Am
this year.

Yep. The Mustang does alright for itself mainly due to Ford's outstanding,
high revving, 4.6 liter engine.

An M3 does not equal an M5 however. Although quick (Road & Track tested at
4.1 sec, 0-60 and Car & Driver did 4.2 secs) the real beauty of the M5 is
the handling. I am still working on the 1200 mile break-in period so I
really haven't got on it much, but I do have to keep increasing the speed
limit alarm. From what I hear through, selecting the 500hp Sport mode with
the transmission in the S-6 program results in a mind blowing experience.
We shall see.
