You guys in the West Coast are lucky

It must be nice to have nice sunny warm weather all year round. It's cold dark,rainy and gloomy here in New York and I really cant enjoy my E63 right now I'd love to get out in the back with my hose,bucket,sponges,waxes and all of my many detailing products and make my car right before cruising around with the pano roof open! Maybe some day I will move out West.
Any East Coasters here ?

You left out 2 other factors in Florida---1. Humidity and 2. The cockroaches that you call palmetto bugs.

My AMG gets sticky conditions almost all year round & the best traction, what more can you ask for?

Its been raining non stop the last 2 weeks or so up in Nor Cal too. I've only taken out my E63 a few times and these stock Conti tires suck *** in the rain.

Ya, ur not kidding...

Those f'in things are so disgusting. You could just about put a leash on 'em and walk it. We also get some other nice jurassic park stuff...snakes, mosquitos the size of dragonflies, and those nice sweet friendly alligators.

Still, I figure that new yorkers' driving is at least as hazardous as our nasty creatures down here, so when you add in the weather we're still ahead...

Born and raised in Buffalo as well. After 31 years I now find myself in San Antonio, TX and couldn't be happier. Sunny and in the 70's for the next 5 days...

Did I mention there is no more state income tax either?

+1

In the last couple of weeks, we've really crappy weather. We've had sand/dust storms, high winds, rain, back to back weather variation (one day it'll be 70 then next day will drop to maybe 28), and we've even gotten a lot of snow on some parts of the inter-state freeways (which they always close down for any little thing that happens

).

I admit that most of the time, the weather is much nicer than the east coast, but it seems like every year, our weather extremes are getting worse

Don't complain too much...this is the first January since the 1930's ( that's 8 decades) that there was ZERO snow accumulation in NYC. I actually had the Viper out several times. The first week of February looks good too. E-town opens in 4 weeks.
