Where would you like to live most?

[69bananabeast]

Thought this might be interesting with all the different opinions. I've lived in Texas all my life and love this darn state . If I ever left it i'd think i'd go to California. I dont know if its because of the atmosphere or the women , i've always liked it for some reason 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Some where when I take a pic of my car there is nothing but green grass & mountains in the background.   wide open space.....dont have any of that here.

Either there or Florida

[694spdRT]

St. Augustine, Florida would be my choice in the winter months(lived there back in the '80's) and northern Wisconsin on a nice size lake during the rest of the year.

If I had to chose just one...probably Florida.

[Ponch ®]

I already live in the city and state I wanna live in....though theres always the possibility of   upgrading 'hoods. I'm liking Encino or up in the hills on Mullholland Dr.

[yellowcuda]

I love Georgia...I think we will stay.

[69bananabeast]

yeah Florida wouldnt be a bad choice, great weather .  Got some family up in Wisconsin ; Love snowboarding but hate cold weather  . I use to those 95-115 degree weather down here

[psykicpup]

Englands coool

[bluesfool]

If I didn't have to worry about money, I'd like to go somewhere along the Virginia/West Virginia line. I love the country and all that scenery...I'm just a "hick" at heart.  I moved away from West Virginia when I was 6 wks old but I always enjoy going back and visiting relatives. I keep teasing my wife that when I retire for good, we're buying enough land in the hills so I can ride my dirt bike in the first half of the day and then sit by my still the second half of the day!

[ChargerBill]

The California foothills: Green hillsides, beautiful pines and oaks everywhere, within an hour of any type of outdoor recreation you can imagine - snow skiing, water skiing, hiking, camping, fishing, mtn biking, etc. 70's and 80's in the spring and summer (rarely the 90's if ever), a couple of summer showers per year, summer nights in the 60's and low 70's...you could comfortably sleep out on your deck under the stars from April to August if you wanted to. Lakes are literally in your backyard, rivers that are warm enough to swim in...Imagine 300 rafts meandering down a lazy river   - tanned bikini clad bodies and beer as far as the eye can see. A little snow in the winter, ski resorts an hour away - ski bunnies on the slopes and in the lodges... Able to drive your car at least 300 days a year ...usually more. Sacramento an hour southwest, Tahoe an hour northeast, Reno right past Tahoe...casinos and yes, more betty's. Hot August Nights, Street Vibrations, West Coast Nationals, Sacramento Autorama, Good Guys events, car shows and cruises start in February and go all the way to October. Blues festivals, Bass competitions, Mtn Bike races, Sac Raceway, Reno Air Races, Dirt Bike Racing, ...the list goes on and on... I'm living in one of the most beautiful and desired locatons on the planet. We have people living here who have traveled the world and say there is no place like this, and I believe them.

[73dodge]

kentucky or north carolina

The 2 states that I have been in that I like the most and I have probably traveled to at least 30 states

[TheGhost]

Somewhere in Texas, Florida, or Hawaii.  I hate winter.

[MoparYoungGun]

Even though I was born and have been raised in Minnesota I absouletely HATE the snow and cold. So, I would like to live down in the Sarasota, FL area. I've got family there and travel down frequently. I just really love it there, I don't know why I just do.

[TruckDriver]

I'm am sick of living in Wisconsin. I wanna move. I love the summers here, but I am just plain sick of the 40 degree and colder weather, and this state is getting crazy high priced on everything from gas to the cost of living. And I mean more so then other states. We already have the 3rd highest gas prices in america. Being I used to drive semi over the road, I been in all 48 states at one time. I wanna live where there are mountains. I would love to live in the western side South Carolina or North Carolina. Although, I also thought about Washinton state somewhere in the mid section. Ironically though, I like Georgia too. I could handle living in the north eastern side of the state. My problem is that I have don't know anyone in any of those states to help me relocate. To help find a place to live til I find a job and stuff. And to just have the money to support my self til I get a job would be tough.  

I wouldn't mind living in Brazil or England either.

[69bananabeast]

sounds like Bills got the greatest place . Sounds like a paradise to me without even being there.

[Badbob]

Maui

[Old Moparz]

I like it right here, but there's a house down the street with 3 barns & a HUGE garage I wouldn't mind having. Except everything is that rubbermaid drain board blue color. 

[Telvis]

I would stay here in KY. I would love to have about 100 acres out in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately I don't want to be that far away from my kids. I will stay here in Lexington for now. It's a pretty good place to live.

[Mopar440+6]

If I ever leave PA Ill most likely stay somewhere within the fourstate region (WVA, VA, MD, PA). What can I say, I was born in West Virginia, I love livin back in the boondocks...

[dart3404]

DODGE CITY, Kansas

[Khyron]

Australia...

no one hates Australia.
no one is mad at Australia.
and Boomerangs are just plain cool!

[Orange_Crush]

Australia...

no one hates Australia.
no one is mad at Australia.
and Boomerangs are just plain cool!

Plus, Aborigine music is awesome.

In any case, I would have to say my ideal place would be where I can wake up in the morning, walk to the deli and pick up a REAL bagel for breakfast, then maybe have lunch at a midlle eastern joint and grab some Vietnamese or Thai for dinner.

Every once in a while, I want to get my hair cut by a REAL Italian barber and then grab a midnight snack at any one of the roach coaches or restaurants that sell late night food.

I want a place where the arts are well funded so I can hit the theater, opera, or just a good art gallery.

I want to fall asleep to the sound of sirens.

I want to live in the big city.

[RD]

DODGE CITY, Kansas

interesting...


i would love to live in england, belgium, norway, sweden, or ireland.  they like american mopars and well, its out of the U.S. for a change.

[6pkrunner]

I'd dearly love just to be able to afford to live in my garage and wrench on the vehicles. That would be every bit as good as any place on the Earth to me. The going to work to pay the bills and not having the money to afford the parts to remain in the garage is the part I'd like to correct.

[Steve P.]

Even though I was born and have been raised in Minnesota I absolutely HATE the snow and cold. So, I would like to live down in the Sarasota, FL area. I've got family there and travel down frequently. I just really love it there, I don't know why I just do.

Next time you're down here let me know. I just live an hour or so North of Sarasota.. I'll make sure there's plenty of beer in the frig....

[andy74]

i lived where i want to,beautiful mount dora florida,then i fucked up and moved back to syracuse new york.i have been talking with the chrysler dealer i worked for down there recently,and may end up back there any way-i really hate snow,ice,cold and the general shitty economy where i live,and my wife,and kids agree that we would be better off there

Be sure to stop by in Newburgh on the drive south for a beer. (My fridge is cleaner than Todd's btw.)

100k a year would not get you anything in SF try 500k a year

[4402tuff4u]

Here in the states I would vote for the coast of Maine. Outside the states, in New Zealand. Girls and weather are hot. 

[gsmopar]

In the bedroom of any of the following:

Alyssia Milano
Jenny McCarthy
Kari Wuhrer
Jamie Presley
Jessica Simpson
probably a few others, but these come to mind first!   

[ChargerBill]

Yeah, a decent sized flat in SF is 3K per month minimum...and if you want a home there with a decent sized (1 car) garage you'll need about 1.2+ mil to START thinking about buying...and even then GOOD LUCK. Most homes that are nice enough to have a garage you can actually fit a Charger into AND be able work on it in there are going for 2 mil PLUS these days. The California Real Estate market is way out of control.

[Steve P.]

Gotta move to the desert.........   

[Brock Samson]

I met a guy four years ago who lived in North beach and he was renting a garage, one small spot for one car and i do mean small,.. for $600 Per Mo. that price is im sure, up to a grand or even more now... none of those old gold mining era homes have a garage, some have a small tool shed,..   you wouldn't belive the rents! hell there are few streets there, No on street parking and you gotta lug yur groceries up hundreds of steep stairs... definatly motorcycle territory...  

results of a garage search on or near Telegraph Hill...

Mmmmmm - Kari Wuhrer...I forgot about her. Does anyone have an GOOD pics of her? She was such a hottie! As a boy I was as infatuated with her as I was Teri Hatcher and Wonder Woman.

[Telvis]

Mmmmmmmmm Wonder Woman!! 

[golden73]

I would probably go to north carolina or south carolina.

I hate winters in upstate ny. I just hope I can get out of ny before another icestorm

[Steve P.]

Come on Golden 73,,, 1991 was a very good year!!!   

[472 R/T SE]

You have to actually spend time somewhere before a logical decision could be made.

Chris, you and the family need to come visit out here sometime.  Plenty of wide open space and green     Mountains for skiing, beach, high desert, lakes & rivers...and scenery that is second to NONE.

I'm where I want to be.   This time of year I'm actually looking forward to the rain, gotta have in order to be so beautiful up here.

[Drop Top]

AllBlue RT; I'm looking to relocate in the next few years. Where is "out here"? Sounds very nice. But I need a place with a big shop or room for one. About 10 acers should do.

[Drop Top]

ChargerBill; If you don't mind me asking. Where in Calif. do you live. I wouldn't mind driving up and looking around. You never know, I might stay in Calif. The wife wants to stay here because of the grandkids. I say they can move with us. Or, if I find the place that I just can't do without in another state. I'll buy that place and just leave her behind. After of course buying her a place in town.  I wouldn't make her move in with my son in law. He's too nice a guy. 

[472 R/T SE]

Sorry 'bout that.  Up here is Vancouver, Washington.  We're right across the river from Portland, Oregon.  I used to run the 48 states during my short lived over the road driving career and fell in love with this area.
I wanted to retire up here eventually, just didn't plan on moving so soon. Since I got hurt, I'd really like to be back close to some of my family, in Texas, Kansas.  Go figure.....

D.T., when or if you decide to come up and have a look, we have a spare bedroom

[ChargerBill]

DropTop, I live in Grass Valley/Nevada City area...basically they are twin cities. There is also a bunch of Hot Rod fabrication that goes on up here. And let me tell you, this town could use another good body shop. I guarantee that if you opened up a shop and joined the Roamin' Angels Car Club you'd have 10 restorations withing a couple of months. The ONE body shop up here that these car club guys trust takes a year at minimum and they get sick of their cars just sitting in the shop and collecting dust. There is definitely room for improvement...a better shop would be a huge improvement. And with your experience and track record it wouldn't take long for them to catch on. Of course, I'm sure you could probably get work just about anywhere you lived, but the bonus is that this place is beautiful...

[Drop Top]

Thanks Bill. I'll have to get up there sometime for a week end visit and have a look see. For now I'll look it up on Google and check the prices of land and homes.

[inhrmswy]

I can honestly say I have been in 47 out of 50 states, alaska and hawaii are part of that 47.   I would live in northrern cali, would stay here in washington, liked maine, but I think montana is where its at.  I had fun in alaska but I was a kid and what kid doesnt have fun when you can play in the snow 9 months out of the year.

[derailed]

Costa Rica looks nice

[Steve P.]

I've lived in Florida since August of 1994. This has been a very hot year and by far the most bothersome for me.     I love the winters here as they are very much like our summers in Upstate New York.. (Except we have sunny days)...    No rusty cars. No snow plows. No ice storms. Just lots of hurricanes and lightning. Oh, I nearly forgot about the occasional 30* night... 


Don't get me wrong, I like it here.. But I would love it if I could afford a few acres and a big air conditioned shop.....

[Chryco Psycho]

Umm the US
probably Vegas ... SW near the mountains , Not Cali,,, or Georga Or the Carolinas as a second choice , somewhere with 2 weeks of winter & 9 months of summer instead of the opposite & where there are lots of American Mopars to work on .. Austrailia would be great too just a big lack of american muscle cars there

[Lowprofile]

I grew up & lived most of my life in Rhode Island. In 1995 I moved to Las Vegas. June thru August sucked, unless your a lizard who likes to lay out on a rock and Bake your bones! Anyway, got divorced in 99'. After living in my truck for a few years, I hooked up with my new wife, who happens to own a small horse ranch in Northern Idaho, just south of Coure D' Lane. This is truly God's Country. Our closest neighbor is over a mile away. Mountains, rolling hills, Thick forest, the beauty of mother nature all around us for miles. I am truly blessed.


BTW, I have a 60'x100' building to work on the cars! Did I mention that I was truly blessed?

[myk]

Any place that is desolate enough that I don't have to see anyone's stupid faces for miles on end, yet close enough to a reputable, ASE certified service center that can take care of my 'Charger for a reasonable fee...

[TruckDriver]

Austrailia would be great too just a big lack of american muscle cars there

True, BUT, you have these!!!

[4cruzin]

I would like to live in the bahama's somewhere!  Tropical islands definitely do something for me!  St. Thomas is still American soil . . . I'm thinking palm tree's and sandy beaches!!  Never know what you could find! 

[Brock Samson]

I been to British Columbia Three times and I loved it! Vancouver island would be fine with me...
  But closer to home somewhere near the coast Like around Big Sur or Bodega Bay here in Calif. But, I agree with Charger Bill, the Gold Country is awesome! Grass Valley or Alburn which is just up the way,.. Or, around Placerville too,.. kinda hot sometimes, snows a bit in winter but simply glorious!
