I'm moving to the San Diego area from texas. Im bringing my M3 and my Fiances Z. However, i've heard terrible things about the traffic and roads in socal, and i hear driving there is a headache. Also ive heard gas is super expensive, and i have a V8 so.... am i going to experience a big change, or is everyone just being dramatic? for some reason im just really anxious about living in a place everyone says is OMGSOEXPENSIVEANON with two finnicky cars. am i being dumb or is it gonna suck so much ill be trading in for a motorcycle very quickly.
Dude cali is a hell hole. Enjoy removing all your mods from your cars and selling all your guns. desu if you can't afford gas at any cost you have no business owning an m3. have you even been to san diego or did you accept a new job with no idea what you are getting into?
You'll trade them in for a motorcycle because of the year round nice weather, no shortage of nice roads and tracks, and legal lanesplitting with a high population of motorcyclists.

> if you can't afford gas at any cost you have no business owning an m3
i can afford it just fine, id just rather not pay for a V8 if gas is going to be 5 bucks a gallon when i could trade it in for a 911 or something and get better MPGs. nothing wrong with saving a little here and there.
>>14443306
>>14443306
yeah i think you're totally right. i havent gotten one here because winter is bad. (bad enough for me to not want a bike.) but ive wanted one my whole life. i have always dreamed of PCH cruising in my car though, and driving mulholland and stuff.... so i figure i should take my car out there before i decide to go full bikelyfe
There's no 93 octane gas in Cali so if you value performance / engine life you may need to keep that in mind
>>14443255
>moving from Texas to California
Why? There is literally no reason even worth it.
>>14443335
The difference between gas at $2.50/gal and $5.00/gal for an M3 driven every day is like 2k a year. Come on dude.
It's the awesome income tax, rent, and sales tax that will get you. They say you have to make over 30% more to live the same lifestyle as in Texas. Hope you got a fat raise, and enjoy shitty car and firearm laws.
>>14443354
this
you'll see even more garbage tier mexicans than you're used to seeing
>>14443344
M3 only requires 91. There is no reason to run higher on a stock tune.
>>14443366
Fair enough. Here in GA we only have 87/89/93 so my 128i has been well fed from the get go. Gallon of premium here has dropped to $1.87.
>winter is bad
>texas
fucking sissy.
>>14443388
Nice. I paid $2.47 for 92 yesterday but I guess I can find it as low in town as $1.97. No idea why the price varies so much. I guess for $6/tank difference I should shop around a bit more
>>14443354
im being chased out of town for being gay, actually! also MMJ refugee, serious illness. like one of the ones you would see on a pro-MMJ documentary not like "oh my back hurts." have cannabis job lined up.
>>14443435
>being chased out of town for being gay
Move to Dallas. There is a 6 block long gay district in downtown Dallas.
Plus unless you are going out of your way to tell people you are gay, no one cares.
>>14443435
Nobody gives a fuck that you're gay dude. And pretty much every state has mmj. Fuck, washington and colorado and oregon have fully legalized the shit. You sound like a real lefty fag tho so please move to cali instead.
>>14443399
i do not deny this. i sure am.
>>14443358
good point. and yeah ill save a lot. i have a treatment resistant genetic disease with no cure, and i cant afford my meds out here. so moving to CA will save me a lot. ive got family out there, and im familiar with the costs.
>>14443456
nah, ive been attacked multiple times, and this last time at my own house. it will be on the news here pretty soon. i moved to a farm town with my new husband not knowing what the people were like here. i didn't tell anyone, but i was asked a few times and im not going to lie.
also, MMJ refugee. im spending 1200/month on what would equate to about 250 in california. moving to dallas will just cost me more money and be way more lame than san diego.
>>14443456
>>14443440
wonder what its like to be this ignorant.
dont worry OP, its not that big of a difference. you're probably just anxious because its a big move. you'll enjoy california if you enjoy cars and cock.
>>14443567
>Being ignorant
What? There is no ignorance in this post >>14443440 I live in Dallas, I've seen the gay district, I know plenty of people who are interested in the the same sex as them, no one bothers them.
Stop being a bigot.
>>14443558
Dear lord you're just all kinds of stupid. California will be perfect for you.
>>14443567
>hurr everyone in texas lives in the butt fuck middle of nowhere around christfags
wow amazing i didn't pick up on that. not all of texas is rural you dipshit.
>>14443577
i was referring to the "no one cares that you're gay." according to OP they did in fact care, why would you disagree with him? a cross-country move is a pretty big deal. im sure OP has their reasons.
if your saying its silly to jump to the conclusion that everyone in texas lives in the middle of nowhere around christ fags, how is it not also silly to assume that OP DIDN'T live in texas around a bunch of christ fags? his post efinitely indicated that he would live in an area like that.
>>14443575
>Plus unless you are going out of your way to tell people you are gay, no one cares.
i mean thats ignorant. didn't OP say that he didn't go out of his way and people still cared enough to cause him harm? your immediate assumption that since YOU haven't seen animosity, animosity is non-existent is the definition of ignorance.
>>14443593
Fair enough but he is the idiot to be a queer and move to a rural area not expecting this shit. Any reasonable person would assume he would reside in at least what resembles a small town or city.
>im sure OP has their reasons
yeah he's a lowly pothead who somehow thinks cheap pot (that you can find anywhere mind you) will make up for the exorbitant living costs in california.
>>14443577
>makes bold assumption
>gets proven wrong
>good lor you're stupid
lol, tardfarter.
>>14443593
>>14443601
>>14443575
>>14443567
lol. chill.
so does anyone here have anything to say about my original freaking post? i got like two replies that actually answered the question. can anyone comment on the road quality there?
>>14443601
No one is going to know unless you told them. OP probably went to some retarded shit near a church sturred up some shit and now has to deal with it.
His fault for barking up the wrong tree.
>>14443606
OP here, i have cluster headaches and Cyclic Vomiting syndrome, had it since i was 8. Ive gone through years of treatment that has fucked up my body and the only thing ive ever found that works is MMJ. i can not even imagine what it would be like to be so healthy that you couldn't even fathom what its like to be sick. i envy the shit out of you.
>>14443634
i couldn't care less if you smoke pot because it makes you feel good, the idea that moving to cali to save on pot is going to be a net gain is insane. if you even have to question if you can sustain your lifestyle in cali maybe you should find a different mmj friendly state to live in. i mean you are up and moving to a place you've never been to for ridiculous reasons. unless you've got so god tier job lined up i just don't know what to say to you besides godspeed and maybe visit and actually research the costs of living there before making such a commitment.
>>14443606
>somehow thinks cheap pot (that you can find anywhere mind you) will make up for the exorbitant living costs in california.
i actually didn't say that. i just said i would save money on medicine. kind of like how i can afford gas just fine but it doesn't hurt to save. why pay california costs to live in dallas when i could live in california? i have a trust, a rich family, and a career. ll be fine.
>>14443613
Driving in SoCal kinda sucks but can be bearable if you don't commute during rush hour. Still, expect a lot of stop and go bullshit. Roads are maintained a little better than the Bay Area but gas costs more in SoCal than NorCal for some reason. Also fuck these guys complaining about MMJ. Sure stoners exploit it but it actually helps a lot of people with serious medical conditions, my dad used it to recover from chemo.
>>14443659
>you've never been
wow this far down and you're still saying shit thats totally wrong.
you should probably just re read this thread.
>>14443670
So you're moving there for the california memes? idk what to tell you as you obviously are an impulsive person. good luck
>>14443659
>14443659
>if you even have to question if yo ucan sustain your lifestyle
dude. i never said anything about wether or not i could live there lmao. all i said was id probably get a 911 if gas is over 4 bucks and how is the traffic?
hooollllyyy cow you're projecting like crazy. go somewhere else peasant, people that have enough money to move where they want and live how they please are talking about grown up stuff.
>>14443670
The amount off money you save on medication isn't going to cover the increase of CoL.
>>14443698
you never said you've been there and if you did you'd know what the roads and driving is like. enjoy cali i can't deal with your retardation anymore
>>14443710
IF you had the finances you would have never wrong "Also ive heard gas is super expensive, and i have a V8 so" in your initial post.
>>14443713
re-read. just said that it would be nice to save some. i have plenty of money.
>>14443715
>i have family there
you think ive never met my family? how would i know what its like to drive there? i fly down. its far.
>>14443726
>it would be nice to save some
>save a few bucks on medication
>spend twice as much on gas, housing and food
yea you are retarded
>>14443710
If you sell your car because of gas prices you're either poor or a fool. There is no in between.
>>14443726
>i'll save money by buying another car and paying tax/losses on my old car
>this would totally make up for gas costs
you're an idiot and actually have no idea how much you spend on gas a year.
i can't deal with you good luck with your boyfriend
>>14443720
>i can afford it just fine, id just rather not pay for a V8 if gas is going to be 5 bucks a gallon when i could trade it in for a 911 or something and get better MPGs. nothing wrong with saving a little here and there.
holy shit it must suck so bad to be poor.
>>14443735
>I'm going to trade in my car because I can't afford gas
>this thread
This is some pretty elaborate bait.
>>14443750
It's hardly bait, it's someone being retarded. If they are attempting to "bait" they are even more retarded.
Stop supporting the "HURR I WAS ONLY KIDDING" and make them look like the literal retards they are.
>>14443734
>>14443733
>i'll save money by buying another car and paying tax/losses on my old car
>this would totally make up for gas costs
for real you should seriously stop putting words in the my mouth. you're legitimately wrong.
i didn't say id buy a new car to save money. but that if gas was gonna be 5 bucks, i might as well get the 911 since it was between the m3 or the 911 and since i like to switch cars every year anyway, this is a good excuse to get a new one, i could spend the same amount to drive even more! same reasoning behind the medicine all these fantastic stories you're thinking up are just that. i havent mentioned anythign about my finances other than saying "it would be nice to not waste money." and "i can afford this just fine, and very easily."
>>14443255
Having read through this thread, I'd consider another state. I'm from Colorado and a good friend moved here for similar medical reasons. He's had problems since childhood as well.
The cost of living here is lower, and there's still stuff to do. Other Coloradans complain about people flocking here from Texas and California, but no one will bother you.
Just avoid Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs sucks.
>>14443762
yea, except for the part where you are now also paying income tax.
good job. you have no clue what you are talking about.
>>14443768
Don't bother trying to help, OP is an idiot already dead set on moving to California for arbitrary reasons.

you guys are too brutal, this is some low hanging fruit.
OP, why did you think you'd get anything other than trolls on this board? stop responding, its bait. its all bait. none of them actually think this shit, this is a board of trolls and neckbeards but its not a board of TOTALLY retarded morons, these people are fucking with you. just stop responding.
....if you are even real that is
then you're just a trust fund moron with no sense of money. people like you actually think buying a car with better fuel mileage will save them money without actually looking at one time and operating costs. you have no idea how much you actually spend on fuel and have the erroneous belief that spending money on fuel is more wasteful than spending that money for another car. Lots of women, hybrid, and electric vehicle owners believe this. Oh, and you. You aren't poor, just stupid.
>>14443786
okay OP
OP your car is illegal in California, no one will buy or take it for trade.
>>14443790
LOL IM GOING TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT OP SAID HE JUST WANTED AN EXCUSE TO BUY A 911 BECAUSE IM SUCH A GOOD TROLL OH MAN HELL GET SO MAD
dude its been done. you're like the 14th person to pull this joke. just move on. practice on some youtube comments or something. you missed the starting gun, come up with your own joke or dont comment. its just lame.
>>14443255
Where in San Diego? Gas right now is 2.29 for 87, 2.49-2.59 for 91. 91 is the highest we have.
Drivers here suck. No signals, stop in the middle of the road for no reason/missed turn, traffic from 2-7 pm on the freeway, but you can go fast and cops don't really give a shit as long as you're not swerving.
Firearms laws suck, and rent/property ownership is expensive. Don't expect to live lavishly.
The weather is beautiful and the beaches are great, and the people are nice around the PB area.
For the most part, San Diego is laidback. You'll meet a couple assholes but that's a given.
>>14443804
He's bitching about gas prices you dumb fuck. Better mileage is an excuse that only would be reasonable for a stupid person to believe. If he wants a new car fine but attempting to justify it monetarily when the financial facts say the opposite is the level of reasoning a woman possesses. Then again he is a fag.

This.
Spending an extra 30-40k on his trade ins so he can get a few extra mpgs is retarded and not cost effective.
>>14443358
But gas here is 2.60 and everyone's just dramatic
I drive a stanced car in SoCal and the roads aren't that bad

The issue is that anon is a faggot, so he can't act like a normal human being without losing his sense of identity.
>>14443255
OP, you are a faggot. Kill yourself.
The roads vary county to county and city to city. San Diego has shit roads and highways.
Gas is expensive because of extreme taxes and mandates for specific 'eco' blends.
You are literally retarded trading zero income tax for 40% income tax.
California is a shithole for progressive faggots, so you should feel right at home with your victim complex and constant need to tell everyone about how gay and oppressed you are.
>>14443862
>>14443873
it's not a joke. It''s the truth.
Cali is a pretty and temperate, that is all it has going for it.
Everything else is complete garbage. The taxes, laws, people, and politics are incredibly shit.
Cali has the highest taxes, the most welfare, and almost all of the laws are based on muh feels.
Sincerely, a Califag.
>>14443255
SoCal here
Certain freeways at certain times have high traffic
Gas is approx. 2.70 for premium
Freeway speed limit low
