How about rotaries? The PNW has one of the best shops in North America for them. Edit: F, that's a terrible page snipe.

I don't do rotaries.

Michigans pretty chock full of really cool cars, because, you know… Michigan. But that only applies to domestics. You see a hell of a lot more Ford GTs than you do Ferraris. Lambos are all over the college towns though.

The part of the california coast that is mostly 50 degrees is not most of the bay area nor most of LA or SD. I presumed we're talking about the actual-coast, which OK probably includes SF proper and places like Monterey, but is also like hundreds of miles of gorgeous cliffs and beaches of the northern california coastline, places like mendocino and point reyes etc. There's affordable homes and mild temps and more or less unspoiled landscapes. But not much in the way of hospitals.

It is the objectively most best weather in the world.

So the verdict is yes, I can crawl in and out of the Miata with a race seat and hardtop. But it ain't graceful. At least the lowered seat and hardtop give me more helmet room.

well not to put too fine a point on it, I can, and also ER stuff they will do no matter what, they'll just bill you later and wipe you out that way but I'd rather be broke than dead, I guess, and probably a lot of other people feel the same, given how full the hospitals seem to be

TheBacon posted:The 50 degrees was the winter lows! "Dry" might be a stretch, it's kinda humid from all the fog (you'll get drier and less overcast once you move towards the bay past the rain shadow of twin peaks) It is not lost on me that I'm fortunate enough to live 10-15 min drive from multiple ERs, including one of the best teaching hospitals in the world. Driving 30 min on twisting rural roads in the dark to get to the ER is something i'd love to do approximately never again

Been living in Portland now for 4 years and I love it The weather isn't too extreme in either direction and there's so much to see and do in either direction. In other news, which goon here was the car shipping guru? I've got YET ANOTHER car in another state I need to get shipped up to Oregon.

I can confirm the CA coast (Los Angeles) is very nice, it was 75 the last couple of days now that winter is over and i can walk to a hospital if I had to. My winter cars are just my summer cars that I don't have garage space for. I'd refer to them as "Rain Cars" but it only rains like 15 days a year here. We also have Shohei Ohtani on an installment plan, and more Super Bowl titles than the Bills have Super Bowl collapses

Any California goons want to meet up in a month? We’re flying into Santa Barbara the last week of February and driving up to San Francisco. Planning a week in Santa Barbara, a week in the bay area, and a stop at Pinnacle National Park in between.

My '70 Cutlass is one of about 1300 Sport (post) Coupes (as opposed to Holiday Coupes, which were the hardtop) made that year, for whatever that's worth. No idea how that translates to desirability though. Any musclecar brings decent prices nowadays, if I wanted to sell it.

We got another 14” overnight; I think we officially broke the record for snowiest January. Though the 62.8” in three days was what really messed everything up.
