    technically its completely illegal because weve conveniently declared them unsafe to drive on US roads, but im guessing not many border patrol agents would actually bother to check and see if a car was legal to take across or not. they are some wild looking cars tho so who knows... if i got dinged i think the hack here is to just ship it across on a trailer and accept delivery in vegas and just keep it there to drive on the track there, something like that.

    Serious question to sonatine. Would you want to move to China, if given the opportunity? If not, why not? And if yes, why haven't you done that already? I'm just curious because you seem to be such a fan.

    Would you want to live in Los Angeles? We still handicap the Dodgers. Study the matchup

    I am not sure how that relates to my question about China? But no, I would probably not want to live in LA. I hate traffic and enjoy the lack of it here in Keizer, where it is more rural than urban. One of the reasons I seldom drive to Portland.

    Los Angeles can be great at baseball but you wouldn’t want to live there

    A nation of engineers might be extra ordinary at technology but again you might not want to live there.

    It’s worth watching as we decide to square up against them.

    You’re familiar with my Martha Stewart fetish.

    So we’re stalking her up in Seal Harbor and Bangor Maine. We stop in a gallery next to a breakfast place she favors. There is a realtor encamped in the same space as the gallery.

    Not sure if the fat fuck would move there but it’s obvious he hates much of America because of his miserable life. He’s jealous of hard work, which he physically can’t do, he hates the “American Dream” of a wife and kids that he will never have. Organized religion is a crutch to him that shows a happiness he will never have. He’s a leftist because he wants everyone to have the same, regardless of life choices.

    So does the pathetic chili eating fat fuck love China? I’m not sure but we do know come Tuesday night a communist style socialist is going to be Mayor of New York City and he sure isn’t sad about it.

    Yea, never understood why Druff does. I know he uses the typical excuse about “family” and such but it must suck knowing your vote never matters. I do believe we will see more political movement in the future as has happened from states like CA & NY to FL and TX. The 2030 census might be the end of any possibility of a Democratic majority again in our lifetimes.

    New York talks about a wealth tax similar to California. Not interested in the prospect of passage so much as the sentiment. It’s gaining appeal.

    I’m a huge proponent of states rights. Let each do their thing. I don’t wish that all states be homogeneous. Let Cali be Cali. Let their citizens solve their own problems without the Fed’s. State citizens should pursue whatever happiness suits them.

    Migrate to whatever state you wish. That is one of the greatest freedoms America offers.

    Druff has only one life. That he sacrificed for his family in the age of jet transportation is curious. I suspect it’s an acorn not falling far from the tree.

    Pray for Druff

    I agree with you, migrating to whatever state you wish is indeed a great freedom and one of the best things about America and the opportunities that it offers. I was born in Moscow and my family relocated to the US (Bay Area, Los Gatos) when I was 12. About ten years later during the late 2000's, we all relocated from CA to northern Oregon and Washington. It was the best decision we ever made, as it appears California has quickly become hell on earth, thanks to Newsom and Biden. I have been very happy with my decision ever since. We paid $280K for our house here in Keizer in 2009, and it is now worth over twice as much.
