My department is hiring, so if you want to sell parts for Audi, Porsche, and Land Rover raise your hand. We aren't open on weekends so work won't mess with your racing scedule as much either. The dealership is northwest of Detroit.
You know you want to live here. 4 seasons, lakes, and lots of cheap rusty projects on CL!
Lots of rally racing fun in the region as well.
Yep, we have a very active rally cross group and more autocrosses than you could ever attend. Waterford Hills Raceway is local with 4 or 5 open trackdays a year.
Hmmmm....
Is this a dealership?
hmmm.... if I was closer I could work for parts!
Man, I'll stick to the 100*F & 98% humidity from late May to mid September for the ability to wear shorts and wash my car in relative comfort come December & January...
In reply to secretariata:
Think of the winters as forced project car building time. EDIT: You also get a few of those high humidity heat index north of 100 fahrenheit days every year just for fun.

Not worth it. Go to the carwash instead and turn up the heat in the house instead. Ugh.

Agreed. I lived 4 seasons. I dont miss them.

Yes it is. Been around since the 70's, same owner.

Yeah, seasons are overrated.
Two big reasons to live in California -- the weather and the race tracks. The rest of it...enh.
(well, being a software engineer, it's professionally the right place for me to be too but that's far from universal)

Yeah, californias draconian automobile laws and absolutely retarded real estate prices exempt me from ever living there, and I'm the wrong color for compton. Florida seems to be working so far.

First time we drove to California, we were going to Thunderhill. Driving through Tahoe, we got hit with a big snowstorm. My wife got very upset, as she had been led to believe that it was always sunny and warm in California. Snow she could get at home.
I LIKE a real winter. You just dress right and you can do just about anything. When it's hot, there's a limit to how many clothes you can take off! I've ridden mountain bikes at -30C and +38C, and I much prefer the former. Seasons make life interesting.
Aside from the part about Detroit, I would love it. As it stands I get too much winter already, but SWMBO refuses to move to FL. I deplored what we had for "Winter" in Virginia Beach, let alone the 5 months of frozen misery in CNY.

Charleston, SC is the sweet spot.

A hot sweet spot.

Little known fact. All of the entire east coasts humidity originates in Charleston SC.

It's not in Detroit proper, but rather the metro area. Figured not many people would recognize the suburb. (Birmingham)
In reply to spitfirebill:
Hot, sticky, sweet, from one's head to their feet.
(Swing it!)
I think the location warrants consideration.

one hundred percent.
Humidity
In reply to Gearheadotaku:
Nothing against Detroit in particular. SWMBO's job has her tied down for now, and I don't want to go anywhere unless it's south.

Could be a really cherry locationfor someone with pie in the sky aspirations.

What's the best way to get more details? PM or email or here?
Lets move to PM.
FWIW, live in Detroit. Was in Charleston last weekend. Almost didn't come back. Who cares about humidity when there's open-air bars with waterfront views, bikinis, and sports cars out year-round?
You'll need to log in to post.
