I saw a few homes around Kyle, I am not sure what the good areas to look are. Plus it is something we are thinking of doing in a couple years. Probably close to 4 years from now. Where would you suggest?

When ever I got to Arizona and come down the Indio pass, you can see how shitty the air is.

LMAO, Oregon and Washington have coast highways. The only difference is the water is cleaner and you don't have illegal's boating in from Mexico.

quoted for truth.

sometimes i miss AZ, the open fields and nice roads and actual parking lots... but i easily forget all the **** i hated about it. If you guys think CA is full of immigrants, head over to downtown PHX, laveen, avondale, buckeye, hell any place on the west side, and hang around there for a while. holy ****. I remember when they opened a "super mercado de walmart" just down the street from where i lived, where everything was in spanish.... that was ridiculous.

bottom line is, every city has it's downfalls, no place is perfect. you will move somewhere and be tired of it in 10 years, no matter where it is. I think it's simply a matter of nobody being satisfied with anything. Kind of like how we all dump thousands and thousands of dollars into our cars, get bored with them and then sell them

LMFAO ^^^ this.





The problem with CA is that it SUCKS for Hardcore, PASSIONATE car guys. I mean... guys who think its more important to GO FAST than it is to keep that bright green metallic paint on your 96 formula ws6 shining flawlessly.

People who are serious about motorsports will HATE Ca for tons of reasons.

Im one of them.


If work would move me to TX or AZ id be gone tomorrow......







Oh ya........ and guns............ gotta have guns and CA is NOT gun friendly whatsoever.

And not much else in a town that is probably 1-2 square miles in size and maybe 5000 people.

I digress, I too live away from the crap of CA, enjoy the small town, but not anywhere as scenic as the Central Coast.
