I am in Southern California in the San Gabriel Valley.

30 miles from Los Angeles, 30 miles from Huntington Beach and 30 miles from Crystal Lake mud hole.

Today it was 80* and probably live the only place I can work on my truck in February with short sleeves.

I just recently saw my second 1st Gen Cummins and it was a beater actually so was the first.

Just curious.

If some of you guys that live here in CA hate it so much and seem to think it's a communist or **** controlled state, why are you here? Just leave and be free from all that.

I disagree with a lot of stuff here too, but I know I'm free to leave if I want to. And so are you. Meanwhile, there is a lot of opportunity, fabulous weather, beautiful scenery, and a lot of great people to enjoy while I'm here.

So what's up with the ridiculous labels and naive comparisons?

go to norcaldieselforum.com everyone from the sf area sac area eureka to san diego is on that site. and theres a lot of intelligent guys there and left coast diesel who is one of the site sponsors puts on dyno days every couple months and all the guys from that forum show up. normally about 50 or 60 people go its good times and a lot of black smoke. i will let you know when the next meet is.

That's what keeps me here. Our cost of living is quite low since we bought our house twenty-two years ago. Home values are correcting if we can get everybody who wants to work back to it.
