Asuza seems like a nice and quiet city though, love that it's got a great view and is surrounded by mountains. I still would have to say I'm jealous of west coast. I was looking into those housing developments that's happening over there, 300K for a big single home is a good price compared to the expensive houses here in DC, 300K will buy you a small town house here.

Though the law on cars over there is tougher I believe.

story time! for a while after i finished swapping my MR2, it had no exhaust. i was running an open 2.5" downpipe, about 18" long, for maybe 6 months. LOUD. yes, that's the word for it. it also runs quite rich with the factory ECU, so it was stinky. one particular night, a police officer was following me for about 2 miles and really didn't seem to care about the noise or smell, and when i turned off onto another street, wasn't followed or given a second look.

a separate occasion i had JUST gotten my car out of storage and hadn't had time to tag it yet, so i was pulled over for expired tags (fix-it ticket which was taken care of the next day, no harm, no foul). my shiny Apexi N1 exhaust was clearly visible, i very obviously have boost, egt, and wideband gauges in my dash, and the whole time he was talking to me, he didn't seem to care one bit that my car was modified.
