Fort St. John -- wayyyy up there -fortunately not waayyy up there like Ft. Nelson but still... (we're burried under snow already regardless)

I've got more opportunities there than I do here, (wife included) and I think I've lived in the frigid north long enough :P

besides, when I move all my money will be almost exactly what it is after conversion, so all will not be lost. Infact, everything in the states will still be 30-40% cheaper as per manufacturer origins and shipping fees over the boarder will no longer apply.

and did I mention things are cheaper there?

Well, shame to hear it, but best of luck. I moved out here after a lifetime of Ontario, and I'm not planning on going back. And yes, I've been south, too.... I prefer BC to everywhere else. I just gotta convince the gf to move to the Okanagan.

Hahaha, I knew it!

I stole his avatar animated gif (as you can see). Tell him I'm sorry, but the Ref. to Battle Gear, one of my fav arcade games of all time...I couldn't pass it up.

I will admit, I WILL miss the snow, and I will miss the hills to drive on, and the wildlife and what not *except when they become obsticles*

I do hope to one day return here. Well, maybe more southwards, as the items available here do not cater to me (technician with a fancy for unique cars). Grand Prairie over in Alberta wouldn't be terrible either now that I think of it...

Either way, I plan on participating in the meets while Im living state side

I'm thinking of trying to set a meet up at the Dragon maybe later this year if we'd get a decent turn out. Who knows.

No, I haven't. I drive through NC about 4-8 times a year though...

I never really thought of going yet, since my car is sporty, but she's not a sports car. It's a Mk1 Audi TT
It's got Awd, 225 hp and a 6 speed, but it's still a golf underneath.
Nowhere close to a FR car on handling...

I've been wanting a FR lightweight ever since i drove an S2000 on some backroads in PA.

I'm gonna wait for the 86, but I love my TT to death though...

PS: someone should make the burnout smiley a drift brother.

no offense but here in new zealand, I get totally free healthcare, govt. pays for part of my living costs as a tertiary student and also funds my tertiary education in the form of a student loan which i can pay back after i finish my degree. USA just doesnt have that..... have a quick watch of Michael Moore's sicko and Bowling for Columbine. reason to be a little less patriotic
