hey gb, is awd a must for your neck of the woods? I'd obviously prefer a normal vehicle (fwd/rwd) to the awd/4x4's that I've been looking at recently.New Zealand or Montana foothills.
where, specifically? I have AWD on my cars, but I wouldn't say "a must" unless you're in a more rural setting.hey gb, is awd a must for your neck of the woods? I'd obviously prefer a normal vehicle (fwd/rwd) to the awd/4x4's that I've been looking at recently.

you moving there permanently? Or just on station for a bit? If you're there in the winter, you want AWD/4X4 for sure.Cheboygan, MI good buddy

No thanks. If I can choose any place to live somewhere with that much traffic isn't gonna be in the top 4000, weather be damned.San Diego
Perfect weather every day
First, St. Louis is a fantastic place to live, particularly to raise a family. Also, this is where my entire extended family and my wife's extended family live. I would never live somewhere else.Love the idea of somebody with a whole world of hypothetical choices picking St. Louis.![]()
Don't forget Friday ponies and concerts at Del MarYep. Plus awesome stuff to do. For me, I can't imagine a day better than playing a morning round at Torrey Pines North, Grabbing pizza and beer at Pizza Port for lunch, chilling on the beach, then hitting up a game at Petco and dinner afterwards in gaslamp.
I visited once for a wedding. Never again. Couldn't pay me to live there.Love the idea of somebody with a whole world of hypothetical choices picking St. Louis.![]()

methinks Fred G. Sanford -period- would disagree, but few others ...I visited once for a wedding. Never again. Couldn't pay me to live there.
Literature's next Poe will one day write the story of the ghost of Hefner's rancid nutsac wandering Holmby Hills in search of the rare strain of Blue Grotto venereal disease which can put it to its final rest.the playboy mansion
Based on this I started a cursory look into Cambria as I think I can pull off working from home and living virtually anywhere in the U.S. Thing is I'm on a lake now and I can't afford water in Cambria. Schools seem just ok there. I don't know. From another thread I've also considered Sanibel, Captiva and Seaside, FL.1. Maui - love the beach/ocean; love the pace if "island life"; i could eat sushi every day
2. Cambria (CA) - a small(ish) beach community once described by a local as "a drinking town with a tourist problem"; 20 minutes a way from wine (SLO/Paso), not too far from Monterey & Carmel; weather is on the cool side (wife = happy)

MN is so awesome for almost the whole time from spring through fall, much like those raving about Michigan in summer. Hard to downgrade from that due to cost of living/waterfront adjustment.
The best kind. Good fishing? Our bay is about 300 acres and I wish there was no entrance. But more for keeping the surfing to ourselves.A small, private lake under 100 acres.
Decent fishing. Not much for walleyes though which sucks. Big enough to tube, ski, swim and watch/listen to wildlife. Nothing beats listening to the loons at night.The best kind. Good fishing?

Talk radio is bad for you...Decent fishing. Not much for walleyes though which sucks. Big enough to tube, ski, swim and watch/listen to wildlife. Nothing beats listening to the loons at night.
What part of "my entire extended family is here and I would like to be around them for the rest of my life" don't you get? Sorry that you don't have the wonderful extended fam that I have. That may be why you are such a jackass. One more thing St. Louis has going for it. It has one less ####### living here because you obviously live elsewhere and wherever that is has another mark in the negative column.RedmondLonghorn said:What if you had the power to transport your families to someplace else?
If your answer is still St. Louis, there is something wrong with you.

You are the guy that started with throwing out the insults. Sorry if you don't like them returned. Don't like it, then don't take a shot because nobody is going to have any sympathy for that hypocrisyWhat part of "use your imagination" don't you understand?
Sorry the idea of being unbounded by constraints of what is truly possible makes you so uncomfortable that you need to lash out.
You wear your jealousy well.St. Louis Pros: Slingers, the Hill, trashed wings
St. Louis Cons: Best fans in baseball, provel, Missouri and Illinois

And I did use my imagination. But in the end, I realized my life is pretty damn good. Better than good. Better than I deserve. I couldn't think of another place I could live that would improve my life. Sure, there are literally hundreds of places I want to go see and visit. Seeing Europe is the #1 item on my bucket list. But I don't want to live there and be apart from my family.
Sorry if having a deep love for my extended family and friends makes you so uncomfortable that you need to lash out. Makes me really wonder about your family life. Sorry for that.
My extended family includes close to 100 people. Our Memorial Day Pig Roast brings 80 people to my house every year. I realize that the OP said, money is no object, but that's pretty unrealistic to get everyone to move with me and get new jobs.![]()
I guess you are still incapable of imagining that your extended family lives somewhere else with you.
That was the point I was making in each post. Sorry that it went over your head. I thought it was incredibly obvious.
It's also too bad that a little banter and ribbing puts you on tilt.
Yeah if we get winter summer locations, I'll take a big house near the water in Palos Verdes and a little beach shack on the water somewhere in French Polynesia.I love foodie cities too much so I'd stay in Los Angeles and get a sweet home in Beverly Hills.
Also, Bora Bora, if they can hook up a bungalow with great wifi.
