New Digs for C6

Although I still maintain the beach pad in San Diego, I'm making my permanent residence in N Cal up at Clear Lake now. Inherited a 3 bdrm lake house, but for the last 2 years I've been renovating. Just finished all the water so I'm moving in. Love it up here and the summer's are fantastic, although San Diego summers aren't too bad either

The #1 reason for making Clear Lake my permanent residence is: No Smog Cert required! That right, because of 0% industry, there isn't any Dept of Motor Vehicle requirement to certify for emissions standards. So my headers and high-flow cats are no longer a worry.

Thanks. Forgot to mention, from the Interstate 5 freeway up through the mountains to the lake there are 33 miles of fantastic twisties with killer views. Sometimes I get out and drive back and forth just for the rush!

Beautiful, Post-card Perfect.

So your car's off the hook, but isn't Cali trying to legislate your boat out of existence?

Nope, water craft classification was just broadened on Clear Lake as a matter of fact.
