Default anyone from milwaukee area?

Is there anyone here from the milwaukee area with an F-body.
I recently took a trip there, by plane, and am considering moving there.
I heard that you need to buy a car every few years because they rust up.
How much snow and how worried should i be about my car?

well, welcome to the city if you are moving

don't need a new car, i have a '94 GMC Safari that is perfect condition, well i just sold it, but you get the point

it's not as bad with today's technologies in regards to body materials and parts

kinda gives you all around weather. so gotta find a winter sport you like. mine is snowboarding and it keeps your mind off of longing for those summer days again. it's ok here. income tax is high, gas tax is high, property taxes are very high, etc...

if you do, i can give some recommendations as to good areas, cause you don't want to live in the city, that's for sure
places like new berlin, oak creek, muskego, franklin, waukesha, big bend, the suburbs are where it's at

MSOE i awesome. You luck out that you are right by Water St.(line of bars) so you can still see a huge assortment of women that you won't normally see at MSOE. Cause you have UW-Milwaukee and Marquette right there. My sister graduated from Marquette last january. Definitely good school.

Thats a good thing, I was visiting there a little while ago and was like, Oh **** there are no hot girls at this school. it should be fun ripping my car down those streets.

Alright whoever told you this is just stupid. Cars last just fine here.

Snow, while we get it, usually isn't too bad. May get one storm per year that will dump 10+ inches at a time, although I've seen 24" dumped in a day.

It gets real cold, that is what sucks. I wouldn't drive a camaro just because of the ice, not really the snow.

Good luck, and be prepared for the cold, and lots of beer drinking.

The burbs are pretty cool. Good areas: Men. Falls, Greenfield, Butler (silk titty bar=awesome), Mequon, mukwonago, new berlin, etc.
