I still have my 1995 F350, paid 15 grand for it back in 2001, which at the time seemed ridiculous. That truck took me across the country and back, I will never sell it.

 

I typically feel like if I'm gonna blow money, it's gotta be drugs, guitars and good eatin and the women that come along with that.

I sold my 98 3/4 ton two Saturdays ago. We are getting prepped to vacate this fucking state and can't take all these damn cars with us.

And that's the real tragedy, that people literally have to drop meaningful things and make those decisions now. Our new reality

Yep. We took our 16yr old daughter in to get implanted birth control good for 3 years in case they outlaw it. Now we are pulling up stakes as quickly as we can. It's a logistical nightmare(small business owner) but will be worth the move for thuh wimmen folk.

Moving my family out of Texas a few years ago was one of my best ever decisions.  Miss the food and close family.  That is it.   It was such a beating living under a “Let’s purposely prove that government doesn’t work (but we will still property/sales tax the fuck out of you and blame the libs)  NOW with bonus fundamentalist Taliban social policies regime.

If you don't mind me asking, what state did you land in? Seems like a lot of the folks I know that are moving are going to Colorado

No state will be safe, unfortunately.

Flights to Mexico are going to get expensive AF.

At least WestJet just announced an Austin>Vancouver direct flight for your birth control needs.

We moved to VA.  It is not red or blue but truly purple.  The elected R’s are mostly moderate.  I don’t agree with everything, which is how it should be tbh, but I don’t feel like the state government is trying to fuck me and appeal to the worst in society. I pay state income tax, but my overall tax burden is same or lower than TX since property tax is about 1/10 what paid there.  We have nice libraries (WITH BOOKS), community rec centers with full gyms, pool, and summer programs for the kids, pot holes are fixed within a day, drivers license offices are in/out in 15 min.  The kids, who used to sit in their rooms and play video games cause is was too hot to do anything in TX, are now outdoor  enthusiast (one has done most of the appalachian trail, runs marathons and is about to hike Patagonia with her friends).  Public schools are well funded and not overcrowded.  There are several good public state college options (not just 1 like in TX) and all my kids got into all of them including UVA cause you don’t have to be top 4% or whatever to go to a decent school here.  Long weekends are a train ride or drive to NYC,DC/Boston, quick ski trip to Snowshoe, or a drive to Hilton Head or NC beaches.  Overall its just much less stressful cause you don’t have to worry about so much shit that you shouldn’t have to worry about and when you need downtime there is something fun to do.

Still have my 99 F-150 4x4 in the driveway. Even fixed it up and got it inspected and registered last year for the first time in 10 years, so it’s a legit backup vehicle and not just my hunting-fishing-hauling rig.
Thought of unloading my daily driver and the old truck, and replacing them with a nice new truck.
Then I priced a new 4x4. FUCK THAT.

Good place. Reminds me of an English-speaking France for how people live life. Plus being non-native I could pass through the mental force-field that doesn't allow Virginians and Marylanders to visit each other.

Me I always get along great farther NE with the vinigary sassiness of New Englanders, and didn't mind (a few days) of the Winter. Main drawback is getting older and slipping on ice, plus my artist friends there seem to have fewer opportunities than I do in Bama.

Moving to CA almost 20 years seems like a good move.

I miss the BBQ and friends, but moved closer to family, fantastic weather, good food, beaches, mountains, diversity and more options for Asian women to marry.

I ended up in Tustin, because it is spelled almost like Austin (just kidding).

The state income taxes are a beating, not to mention home prices. But at least property taxes are predictable at 1% of my purchase price even though the value of my home has doubled.

It was a good 12 years in Texas, but I don’t have any reason to go back, especially with the shenanigans that are Texas politics.

Every time I'm in Texas, I'm asked when I'm moving back. The last time the conversation came up, it was on the heels of everyone discussing what kind of generators they bought for their house for the next power failure. All living in the "energy capital of the world."

That's what I keep getting told. Been here for 16 years now and still waiting to experience my first.

There are…a lot… of very good looking Asian and Asian mixed race women around Seattle.  Enough to hypothetically change a guy’s browser history.
