North of "Norcal?"

So I'm just checking to see if there's anybody left up here. I've seen a Raven in Eureka, there used to be a Fire tiger at Redwood Memorial, and a Series Yellow was for sale in Fortuna at some point but it's long gone. I go to Shasta county once in awhile and briefly met a kid with a Hot Lava. I know there's at least few twins with owners here that roam around the state of Jefferson. From what I can tell most of them have moved onto greener pastures. The only time I've seen a BRZ was while I was in southern california.

You'd have to go waaaay north to see more twins. I saw many twins up in Washington during my vacation there last August. I don't recall seeing many twins once outside of the Bay Area. I don't recall seeing many in central Cali either. Once in SoCal, you'll see more.

There is a 530 area facebook group for 86 owners. But it's a little dead I think

Would you believe I'm closer to southern Oregon than the vast majority of 707? Portland and Seattle are the same distance away as Sanfran or LA respectively. I can go weeks without seeing one here. The big advantage to living behind the redwood curtain is also it's biggest drawback.

Thanks finch. I found the 530 group and sure enough it's dead. I'm in 707 area code but I'm at the extreme northern end. So basically I'll stick to the forums.

That's the funny thing about "NorCal", when I hear that term I think more of your area but most folks think of the Bay Area, is which more like "NorCenCal"

I considered moving the family around that area, but just not enough jobs for me. Most likely will retire out there though.

That's my area. I'm not on the Facebook page but I've seen a few twins around town here in Chico, at least 5.

Who dis?

I spotted this Raven FRS at Redwood Memorial. Looks local since no front plate and covered in dust. Red text says "tuna no crust." And it's obviously not stock.
