We successfully marketed the Daewoo brand in South Florida, ultimately creating the number 1 and number 2 dealers in the Daewoo organization. South Florida should be perfect for the Fiat 500.

Nielsen’s new 2010/2011 market rankings seem to indicate that Florida’s population outflow has stopped, if TV market size is any indication.

Over the past week, we’ve been able to code language that displays one image to “friends” and a different image to not-yet-friends on a Facebook page. So those who ‘like” you can get a coupon or special offer while others see an image that urges them to “Like” your page for access to special deals.

My initial thought is “not anytime soon.” After all, we have LED screens that probably cost in the area of $2 million each. And as I recall, they’re pretty darn close to the flight path into MIA. And then there is the issue of lightning strikes. Florida is the lightning capital, and I don’t know how LED screens hold up to a few hundred million volts of electricity. Of course, a direct hit by even a category 1 hurricane will probably turn those LED signs into confetti… that’s not to mention the damage a Cat 2 or Cat 3 could deliver. And finally, we have Miami’s general level of chaos to consider. How long before someone takes a .22 and shoots out your sign?

Finally, you’ve got the neighbors to contend with. is the formula for approximating the distance you can see an object, based on it’s height. At 500 feet, these towers are visible up to 27 miles out to sea… If they get built, I can’t see them making it through the first year unscathed.
