As long as I have my T/A in my possession, it will remain undriven in crap conditions so if and when it comes time to sell, it goes fast and for good money. Kinda like my Z28 went in less then an hour to Vince. He blew his load when he saw the condition, drove home and came back with cash in hand. Now if I had driven that car in rain and snow or on the hyw when the ground is blasted with de-icer, broken up asphalt from dumb *** people that run studs on their tires that then create a ton of rock chips, the car wouldn't have been in the shape it was. My old Honda saw all these conditions and after so many years it looked like crap. Not going to let this happen to the Bird. Plus, I enjoy not driving it all the time. It's like popping the cherry for the first time when you first start her up and take it out for a spin...makes myself appreciate it more for what it is. Plus my car is RARE as ****. Nobody else has one anywhere.

1st when i buy a car i try to find the one in the best condition just nice and clean overall.
2nd driving the car only every so often makes it alot more fun to drive when you do get around to drivin it

I was just giving Tim crap anyways. I realise there is a market for salvaged vehicles and they can sell fast. I was more the less refering to his screen name and his comment about our cars being rare. If anyone didn't drive these cars because they thought they were rare I would crack up laughing. Tim, I love you man.

And there are lots of good places to live. you just gotta do a little searching and figure out what kind of scene you want.

Hey guys... the wife has a good chance of getting a good job up in Seattle, so looks like I might need to start searching soon.
Couple questions... keep in mind I'm in CA now...
1. What's the Emissions laws like out there? Seattle = Liberal *****
2. Registration costs? Almost 10% sales tax, tabs probably $40-50
3. Gun Laws (Can you carry?) Liberal ***** try to ban everything
4. Good, safe, clean area near or in Seattle for a house? North bend
5. With all the rain I hear they get, is it that depressing? LOL I live on the East side of the State and visist Seattle as little as possible. I used to live there and do not miss it at all. I am a huge dirtbike / snowmobiler / hunter / gun / car guy. The spokane / idaho area is a much better place for outdoor activities. We get plenty of snow during the winter. Spokane is full of drug addicted meth heads, chop shop russians and cops who kill everyone. Idaho is where it's at, Coeur d'alene in particular. When I want to go somewhere nice, I go East.
We like snow and cold weather, much more than HOT weather that we get during the summer here in SoCal. Before here I lived in Phoenix, so I'm over it LOL. I'm sick of the govt. here in CA as well. Can't do anything without it being illegal (i.e. have a car hobby, carry a firearm, cost of living, etc...)

i really dont know why people are so **** on driving a camaro or transam in the stupid rain or snow. Guys gotta remeber our cars are not rare and its a f body not a vette or viper. **** even if i had a vette or viper i would drive it rain or shine its a car it can be washed. No place like the northwest for a nice *** summer.

You will not find more beautiful scenery and twisty roads than the PNW. Most of So Cal = strait = boring. It does rain a lot but thats why are scenery is green and not brown.
Oregon = no emissions at all except in Portland and I think Medford.
Oregon > Washington > So Cal

Oh, and to the OP..make sure you get a GPS. Streets, freeway off/on ramps, address's, etc. are a ******* joke. Makes you wonder what type of drugs the land developers are on.

2. depends on where you live at depends on the cost. Typically $50-$100 a year
3. Only with a permit
4 DoNT move to seattle Move east, or North or south.
5. It really doesnt rain here all that much, I mean NY gets more rain than we do. from about July to Late sept we seldom see rain.
