Huh..... I've been skipping over this thread because I don't, nor have I ever wanted to, live in California. Their smog inspections alone were a huge reason for me. To me, that just hampers an enthusiasts abilities to build their own engine for their hot rods. That just took my freedom. Then, there's just too many people for my liking. (There is here in Atlanta too, but that's another story.....) And the cost of living is WAY too high!! I've spent enough time there when I was in the Marine Corps, and it IS nice out there, but the benefits are far outweighed by the costs in my opinion. The older I've gotten the more I hear of stupid $#!+ happening there, this being another prime example as well as the law that's already in the books like it. It all just solidifies my stance. People need to get their ****ing noses out of other peoples' business and take care of their damned selves!! But I'm sure they know what's best for us because we sure don't!!
