Why I live in California

Yup, driving in CA is great fun

That is cruel and unusual punishment! Took delivery of my new to me nero F355 spider before the snow! Have driven the car a total of 1/4 mile from the delivery point to my home!

 

To each his own.

I left California because I COUNDN'T drive year round... well, certain hours at least 405, 101, 710, 110... consistent parking lots when I'm off work.

Oh, and running sans cat (muffler even) is kosher out here

 

A Tubi?? You are forgiven.

 

Who said you can't drive them just because its winter? Still some nice weather during the winter months and its not like a little snow/rain etc is gonna kill a car. california is ideal though

 

Once the salt goes down, forget it.

 

For the record California is not the only place that you can enjoy year around driving.

 

California is a Shake and Bake State

 

Maybe not, but it is the best place to do so!

 

I don't think it's the wet roads that stop drivers, it's all the work in cold weather afterwords, to clean it again. I ONLY drive on clean dry roads in the Winter months for that reason but I DO drive it.
(washing a car when it's 30 degrees is no fun)

 

Ya don't have to leave CA to get out of that mess, just Smell A.




We do pretty much have it made as far as the year round driving goes. Couldn't imagine not being able to take a motorcycle ride or cruise in the F car for monthes at a time.



Darrell.

 

And that would be because??????

 

To each their own, every area has it's good and bad. Personally, if I were going to live in a warmer climate, it would be Florida. Too many liberals, smog, earthquakes and traffic congestion in Cali for me.

 

SC rocks. Year-round driving, and no state inspection. Can you say test pipes? Of course, there are property taxes to contend with. Paid $17 for the 328's taxes last year.

 

So you haven't been to SoCal?

 

You may be able to drive your toys year-round, but how on Earth do you manage to breath that brown air? I had to cut short a business trip to Orange County last July because I could not breath that brown stuff and talk, so there was no point in my attending meetings. I just went home. Instant relief.

 

Florida is even better, even warmer, and no smog tests.

 

California is a great place to visit but more than a week there makes me nuts.

 

Really? California is an awfully big state. I lived in Maryland for a few years and in Pennsylvania for a few years, once I saw Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach and Big Sur, I knew what part of California was for me As much as I enjoyed the other two states in the spring and fall, I hated the muggy summers and the cold winters.

 

On the contrary I have thats why I ask

 

Now dont get me wrong I like California San Francisco is my fav US city my point is its not the only year round driving location with great scenery and IMO not necessarily the best.

 

I live in AZ. and I can drive year round but one of my favorite drives is in Cal. North of LA between Highway 1 and I-5 to Carmel. There is nobody on thoses roads during the week day very few roads or that deserted any time in AZ. It really is amazing people in Cal. prefer to park and bumper to bumper drive on I-5 rather than take those road. For all the people who like to drive in Cal. you would think people would be wanting to carve up those winding hilly roads, I guess traffic is what they seek out? to show other people what they are driving? so other people know how much fun they are having?, I really do not know.

 

We're getting a lot of the "half-backs" - Northerners who relocated to Florida, but then moved halfway back.
