and 98% of them are not products OF California, they migrated TO California.

Don't forget your commute is calculated in hours, not miles!

Don't forget, we get mad finding one rust spot the size of a nickel in the floorboard of our Z or that the world's largest gathering of Z's is in California or the autocross season starts in January in the Bay Area. Kind of makes some of our other sins liveable.

#3 says more about the other places that CA emigrants come from. Why is it that so many people feel the need to be here? CA must have something that is attracting them.........or maybe everywhere else has NOTHING to entice people to stay where they are.

Just a thought

California : A nice place in the pictures I've seen -- someday I'll see it up close and personaly.
