At least he didn't miss the boat.

It's in NZ quasi - an island nation where (I have been told, but never had it
officially confirmed) you are never more than 30km from an open body of water.
Boats are everywhere, but American muscle cars are not, even "shit ass
chevy's".

We're surrounded by the sea here in Florida too, hence my interest in the boat.
And there are a lot of wealthy and wannabe wealthy people around here who have
'vettes and speed boats and jet skis and all that jazz. I looked up the owner's
website but they had nothing about the boat on it - maybe once they put it in
service.

It doesn't look to me that the car hit the boat. Close but no cigar.

I did some comparison, GAK. Florida is only 63% the size of New Zealand but has
4.3 times as many people so we have a lot of boats (and Corvettes). Most of the
Florida population, particularly in the southern half of the state where I live,
is near the coast with swamps, citrus groves, sugar cane fields (in the
southeast), and cattle ranches making up the interior. It used to be and still
may be that Florida is second only to Texas for cattle in the U.S. Also,
Florida's highest point above sea level is about 105 meters versus 3754 meters
for NZ - we don't even have a decent hill in this state, nevermind any
mountains.

That's why my sis loves going across that big bridge that is probably the
highest POV in Florida.

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is pretty cool.

Yeah, quasi, it's sparsely populated down here. However, as a country we have
one of the longest coastlines per land area, and we are near the top of the list
of boat ownership per capita. Auckland, the city where I live, has the highest
boat ownership per capita in the world. It's known as the City of Sails. I have
not seen any comparisons to individual states though. Florida is probably high
in both those measures, I'm guessing.
BTW, happy Independence Day to all you US dudes (and dudettes).
