I like SoCal, but I'd never want to spend long periods of time there. Just gets boring.

I mean, its boring here in Oklahoma too. But I'd like to move to the portland/vancouver area some day. Lots of rain, but very little snow or ice. Which would work great for me.

Heh - works for me. I've been trying to move towards a bit more laid back attitude lately. I'm getting tired of worrying about where my life will be in 5 years and stuff like that.

Seriously, I may not end up getting a camaro. I'm really looking into getting a low low mileage used Sky and just using it to cruise. I know if I get a camaro I'm just going to end up making it faster and faster and I'll probably want to race it and blah blah blah... Which is cool, just not where I want to go at the moment.

Plus, I'll have the Maxim when I want to go fast. 12s through the 1/4 is fast enough for me (not to mention that in my experience, a car and motorcycle of the same speed you'll feel like you're going faster on the bike. Just more exposed to things like the air moving past you and whatnot.)

In a few years I see me getting out of racing all together. I have been at it in various forms for over 21 years. Motorcycles in WERA and SEMDRA(even racing motoX), cars locally,street racing and NHRA. I see myself with just one sports car(C7) a luxury sedan and a SUV...for fun atv/dirtbikes and a boat for the family. My focus is on family and all things fun that I can include my family in on....just my mindset and my goals...I have lived a very exciting life and have done everything I have ever desired..now it's time for me to just be the family man and drown myself in the joys of it in our own little world

Heh. Well, I know things will work out great for you.

Now, are we talking C7 ZR1 and CTS-V sedan?

That's deep.. Do notice you say in a couple years... Maybe when they finally make it legal to marry your domestic partner? Hmm... Interesting....

Heh, I'm german and I was an engineering student (until I changed majors) - does that count?

Though honestly, I prefer electrical engineering. I can design and build circuits and relays all day long. I built a tesla coil senior year of high school as a project for my physics class...

Seriously though, I'd love something like a saturn sky with a rock solid american V8 in it. Thats why I'm looking at the LSX376. Seriously, I doubt I'd ever bust that thing in stock configuration. And with no oklahoma emissions testing/inspections... Should be fine as far as the swap goes.

German engineering failed us epically.

We had a 1980s-era Mercedes SE...drove me home from the hospital when I was born.

Sunroof leaked, body panels rusted, cost of maintenance was outrageous...

My dad traded it in on the Saturn.
