You can always buy a private jet and fly it to your helicopter which you can take it to your yacht if you don't want to fail smog. Another work around would be take the helicopter straight from the house to the yacht... it just depends on how far the trip is and if your tesla model s plaid has enough charge to get you to the airport.

Another option is to buy a 911 GT3 RS and enjoy that nice factory smog legal car.

Lol I was thinking more of a workaround to flash the factory ECU while still showing the same CVN.

California just passed a general basic income. Guess who’s paying for it? California hates tax payers, it’s the dumbest state in the country.

spooled240 07-20-2021 10:52 PM

CA has also raised taxes on gas here. All these taxes and nothing to show for it..

ronmcdon 07-21-2021 02:22 PM

even worse than nothing to show for it. probably goes into the scam that is public education. Would rather it go to Gavin Nuisance’s restaurant bills at The French Laundy.

Checking out WA and OR although more worries around how climate change effecting CA and increasingly hot weather. all the racetracks in the world isnt going to matter if we already get above 90 degree days in Dec.

Yeah, lets just move north. And further north, and further north, and north, and north and then we're in the arctic circle living off sardines because the oceans are dead and all the billionaires who raped and pillaged the earth for its resources jumped ship to terraform Mars only to rape and pillage it shortly thereafter :tinhat:

Please don't bring any more idiocracy from california to the north. And don't hypocritically blame the billionaires that sell you products that you willingly purchase for 'raping and pillaging the earth.' I like living in the most technologically advanced era the planet has ever seen.

spooled240 07-22-2021 11:18 AM

I don't have a problem with billionaires, but would it kill them if they paid 30% in taxes like the rest of us?

The Serfs pay the taxes the Lords enjoy the taxes. How are they supposed to afford their private jets that have no emissions equipment, burning leaded fuels, to fly across the country avoiding the lockdowns they imposed if they have to pay so many taxes.

Yeah, let's blame the consumer, not the corporations that spend billions of dollars a year lobbying against environmental protections. That makes total sense.

Technology and environmental responsibility aren't mutually exclusive btw :wiggle:

Jet fuel isn’t leaded.

What in the fuck are you talking about. Go buy a Prius and fart in the gas tank if you?re so worried about the environment.

If that's how they worked I'd 100% own one!

well theres not much you can really do about it, for better or worse. If it makes you feel any better most are moving to TX, AZ, as well as OR, WA. CA has not really experienced a net migration until ?20 si we?ve been taking riff raff from other parts of the country for the longest time. Other than the red states turning more blue, dont have a whole lot of empathy for other states who?ve been unloading on us.

oh and I dont think most ppl care about moving north. more like ppl still moving from the east coast ane midwest to the the southwest to escape the cold. most ppl unlike me do not hate too much sunshine or care about how close they are to racetracks. hell most on this site probably never even drove at an autoX

Pros:
- Weather
- Natural beauty
- Lots to do outdoors (indoors too actually)
- Food

Cons:
- Taxes
- Cost of housing and goods
- Disgusting authoritarian politics (Emissions BS, guns, etc.)
- Lack of common sense (shuts down nuclear plants and then bitches about the power grid, refuses to do controlled burns and then bitches about wildfires, etc.)

I should want to life in California. The weather is some of the best on earth and I work in STEM so good jobs are there. If you steal all of my money through taxes, try to tell me I can't own guns, and have ever increasing bullshit car laws, its a hard no from me though. Authoritarian politics and the idea that the 51% can tell the other 49% what to do with no restraint, is a cancer in this country right now, and that's the biggest problem with California.

spooled240 07-25-2021 02:08 PM

My wife and I just bought a house here and we are already thinking of moving out of state in a year or two. Raising kids in this state with these woke politics is just plain scary.

so technologically advanced, that one of your local parks was the subject of a mini civil war reenactment between antifa and patriots - haha

portland and seattle are so messed up its insane. socal for sure is a mess, but portland and seattle are just as bad. seems the only people thinking straight are from florida (gasp) and texas...

when florida is doing it right, you know things are bad

factors in climate change to consider, unless for some reason you think it's not real.

https://www.safehome.org/climate-change-statistics/

would recommend looking at the specifics and not just overall scores. Some people aren't going to care about days above 105f or mosquitos. A lot of factors aren't measured and arguably it's a very simplified list. funny enough drought is expected to worsen considerably in WA but be far less impacted in neighboring OR.

CA doesn't rank as poorly as I thought, although wildfires are projected to get a lot worse. droughts are predictably looking bad although WA not that great.

Would avoid FL, LA and TX (although do have a soft spot for San Antonio but hate Austin) and most of the south.

Also if someone has some sort of study where I can avoid cities with degenerates from the far left and far right with mostly moderates that would be most appreciated. hard to relax around those people.

I just care about having some cool narrow winding roads to drive on. Growing up in Northern Los Angeles there was quite a few. Memphis not so much.

I pretty much have to make the 6-7hr trip to Eastern TN/ Western NC for some nice roads.

a million and one ways to push red tape and control over people, climate change being one of them

its surprising to see how much shit people are willing to swallow, masks and aoc tee shirts are a clear example of this.
