 Well, it was a lifelong dream as a teenager to come to where all the cool 
hotrods and custom cars were...When I got here, the climate was a bonus. 
Houses were even cheap.  No smog laws, no high taxes, just a great place to 
live.
I've thought about moving to NC, if I could find work with a NASCAR team as a 
machinist. I might be able to put up with the weather, but I'd probably still 
winter in CA.
... Men are like lawn mowers, puttering and full of gas.
