Thanks again guys.
Gas prices for me is not a deal breaker for I have seen and paid upwards of $4 regular in WA. I did experience the traffic around Sacramento when I went to visit last year but living on I-5 in the past I was used to it. It is crazy how fast people go on those Highways though. Here in MT, just to give you guys a figure, milk is $2.49-$4.50ish depending on brand/store. Gas, I really don't check I just fill up, but I think around $1.89 for regular so $2.09 for premium. Last fill up from empty was around $35-$40 in my Camaro. Those gas prices just started to come down too. I am looking forward to the car culture there. Here its on the rare side. Awesome people though(most of them lol). What is this tax per mile? I have seen the many Camaros stolen and stripped apart on here. I will look into my insurance and make adjustments. A garage is a must for me. This is mostly for my fiancée but I'm willing to experience something new. I do appreciate the different views and opinions from everyone. I cant really see myself with nothing to do in CA unless I'm unwilling to drive but that wont be a problem. In WA I felt like there was something for everyone. Cars, hunting, beach, fishing, boating, snow boarding, hiking, arts, and lots of indoor activities. Do you guys know anyone with out state plates? How long did they have them on?

I'm bailing out of the bay area to retire in the Boise area. Insane traffic, no water, elbows to aholes crowds at every restaurant, movie theater, or function is maddening. Rules, laws, taxes, and Prius's messing up quality of life.

Taxes. Lots of traffic. Smog Check points. CARB. Taxes. Traffic. everything is expensive. Houses are way over priced. can't use your hose, can't wash your car / water your lawn, hose off the driveway. Taxes. Traffic. Everyone is in a rush to get everywhere. But other than that, it's nice here. we have 1 season year around that takes PTO a few times a year where you get a day of rain followed by a week of 100* weather. In terms of cars, it's the worst state possible for modifications, i think this much is common knowledge though. I think there might even be a sticky about laws specific to cali on here. Oh, and being as though you're looking up north, Locking Lug Nuts are a must (more than just 1 key). in car GPS is highly recommended, and after reading all the stories, it might not be a bad idea for locking hood pins.

In the Sac area the car events are
http://www.carsandcoffeefolsom.com/ http://www.eurosunday.net/ http://sacramentoraceway.com/wednesdaynight.html http://www.thunderhill.com/ http://m.racesonoma.com/ http://www.norcalcamaros.us/ I have yet to hear about any Camaro theft in Sac reported to the Nor Cal Facebook page. The bay area is a different story. I don't take my car there unless Im just driving straight through. Some Bay area members have installed the Ravelco device. It did save one ZL1 in the San Jose area. So.far the known method is. Kick in fog light and cut alarm wire Break door lock Replace ecm with hacked ecm Disconnect onstar Gone |

so many people talking about how much more things are in Cali, but they fail to mention that wages are also higher. I am getting paid 4 times here than what I was getting paid in Iowa for the same profession. Do your research on the web to find out what job you will be doing here will pay you. You'll probably be pleasantly shocked.
.... oh, yea - and I love it here! |

Those that hate living in cali are just plain bitter. Get a job in another state and tell us how it goes. If you dont like it here get outta here! There is a reason why the population is HUGE in cali. Every place has cons but at some point one location has more pros. I have lived in lexington, ky and chicago. I can say that cali is spoiled with having almost everything you can think of.

Move back to western wa. Houses 1/3 the price, no state income tax, Zl1 registration about 60.00 and high wages. I have lived in ca 40 years north and south. Left 12 years ago and just don't miss it.

Some of us make the same $$$ no matter where we go because our industry has a competitive pay scale so that is irrelevant for me.
I'm sick of paying close to $3.00 per gallon for 91 and seeing a buddy pay $1.39 for 93. I'm hoping to be out of this shittastic state before Christmas. I'll miss 90* February days but that's about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
