Default So Cali isnt all that bad...

I just took my car for a lil cruise with the tops off and got to thinking.... the smog laws suck but being able to drive my car with the tops off comfortably in the mid of February is kind of

Thats all

SoCal is nothing to complain about. Although ive been visiting in central FL for 2 weeks and the weather is pretty nice. But MAN Visalia! that place get hotter than hell. San Diego is the best spot for cruising

I was just out in LA and Palm Springs on Vacation. Never got below 90! Beautiful weather. A lot of you guys must duck the "smog laws" or something because I saw quite a few mustangs that had to be modded out there. Not to mention the Ferrari's, Lambo's and Aston Martin's I saw everywhere!

Thats what I like about Oklahoma (culture shock when I moved here), but we can do the same in mid Feb (70*) but we also have no sense of smog laws! (but it is REALLY hard to find anything other than 91 for premium)

+1 for Oklahoma and the majority of law enforcement that will tell you your car is bad *** rather than ticket you for it. I did have some good luck with I lived in SoCal as well...although I did get a loud exhaust ticket from a douchey motorcycle cop. I could've rode past him on my ear splitting Harley and he wouldn't have said a word.

Reminds me of the first time I ever was in an F-body with the tops off. It was a cold *** February day in Chicago.

Northern IL has messed up weather in the winter. One day you're wearing a a T-shirt and it feels fine, next day you need 3 shirts and 2 coats. Jan/Feb temp can range from -25F to +60F.

But emissions here are so easy to pass that it's a joke.

Yeah, or mid 40's. Same thing. Hell two weeks ago (March 13th) it was 81. Not that I take offense to your statement, just your ignorance.

Emission checks....oh what are those...for the win.
