Quote from: crossboss on December 30, 2024, 09:45:08 PMThis is one of the reasons I left Kommifornia and moved to Nevada. Same weather, far superior car culture here. Yes, many are like myself, ex-California folks.
And, btw, Shelby American is 7 miles from my house.
We've got friends in Boulder City and Henderson. We thought of going there. But I wasn't going to smog cars every year. If we move it'll be to Lake Havasu AZ. Much more car friendly and our daughter would rather inherit there......

Same Weather???

I live at the beach.... Not where its 500 degrees in the SUMMER  8)  8)  8)  8)

Truth be told... California has its problems and I hate the politics here...

However, I can drive "any car" 350 plus days a year.

I'd move to OK in a heartbeat. We've got friends in Yukon and Claremore but it's too far from the grandson to keep the wife happy. We'd save a fortune on car registration using her tribal ID. https://tagoffice.cherokee.org/registration/fee-schedule/

If you get a survey just say you drive your Classics less than 800mi a year and if they want milage put more than what your car shows and keep track of that number and if they ask again just add a relatively small amount. Make them think our cars aren't driven much and they may not bother us as much.

Agree. Hate the politics but it can't be beat for everything I love. Motorcycles, great roads,amazing car culture, beach, and some of the best mountain biking in the country just a 7 minute pedal from my house.

We deserve every joke we get but I've lived in crappy weather and will never go back to it. I get the home prices are ridiculous but to me a house is just a place to keep my toys. I prefer being outdoors hopefully on two or four wheels and for that it's tough to beat LA (with the exception of San Diego).

I would visit every so often. Move while you still can.

Your confusing Phoenix for Vegas, my friend. IF you are going to compare apples to apples, Tahoe or Mt. Charleston would be a good comparo. Btw, I can also drive 'any car' here 350 plus days a year.

Santa Barbara weather is no where near Vegas, nor is it like LA weather. My original comment was referencing LA/SFV to Vegas.

I had a ggetc grandfather that had a plantation in the Carolinas. I looked up where it was. It's now called the Great Dismal Swamp. He did participate in the first tax revolt - Culpeper's Rebellion in 1677.

Will there be California gestapo at SAAC-50 preventing the mass attack of classic beasts?
Just nuts.
