Thanks guys, but there is not allot of choice about moving to CA. Since the kids and grand kids are there that's where we need to be. I lived in SoCal for 16 years and visit often so I'm very familiar with the cost of living. If it weren't for the family and job situation I would be retiring to Northern Nevada. If I can swing it job wise, Temecula (just north of San Diego) is where we will end up. Although jobs are more likely in Orange County, we'll just have to wait and see.
Paul, the system is still the MF/Corsa hybrid, I just said Corsa for simplicities sake. I will leave it registered in IL as long as possible. However the CA police are very strict, if your stopped and they find out you live in CA your in deep $hit. Apparently smog stations are independent and you have to find the "right one". Guys we need to do at least one more track meet and a pizza night! Just tell me when a where, I'm very flexible time wise. (now) How about next Friday night for pizza? Let me know! H ![]()

I was put in a similar "forced retiremen" situation in 1989 and I thought I was not ready for it. Hind site has proven it was one of the best things that could have happened at that point in my life. I've done several things since retirement and none involved stress, and other management headaches...no more corp gamesmanship. My doctors tell me my life style change has added 20 years to my life...I'm now 76. I tell you this and wish your future is as good or better than I've experienced. I want to add that you are in good company with moving to SoCal; In case you don't know this or JVD, Jim VanDorn after he moved his AutoMasters to BG 5 years ago has decided it best for him, the business and his fans (including me) to this part of the US; back to Palm Desert. He will move to the Jefferson St., Fredwaring Dr. area about Nov 1. AutoMasters@aol.com http://www.automastersofbg.com/ (270) 842-0454
Jim is an expert on Calif smog, performance tuning etc and drag racing. See his story about his "Weekndr" Black Widow, that's for sale on his web site. I am sure you'll find Jim a great friend and most helpful in solving your ZR-1 needs. Bill ![]()

It would be fantastic to have some events here in CA... the only problem is the few of us here are all spread out around the state.
Congrats on the early retirement and welcome to 360 driving days a year. ![]()
