Participanthere here! Why is RB so expensive? Or carmel valley for that matter? I guess I should be glad that at least not everybody wants EXACTLY what I want. But still RB?
ParticipantI am really hard on cars, and I have been more than impressed with honda. I have owned a CR-V for 7 years (bought 3 years used). I have 180k miles, and I have not done anything but fluids and brakes. Sure the transmission is not what it used to be. But it has been the cheapest car…ever. I have now had a honda accord for 2 years (bought 5 years used) and it has 80k. It has yet to have any problems.
Hell I am still on original shocks, and it has only seen 3 sets of tires. So even usual maintenance items seem to go longer than my friends toyotas. Maybe I have just been lucky, but I am all about honda.
I can not stress enough. As long as you change the fluids, get a tune up now and again, and are not rally racing them. A honda should last you for 150k miles without thinking, likely to 200k, and if you baby it, I would not be surprised with 230k.

ParticipantYeah so far I am enjoying it very much. Just last weekend I hung out with a buddy in Sonora. We went BC skiing, shot skeet from his deck, and rode motorcycles. It was all within an hour and a half of my house, and I never had to touch a freeway! I am so glad I do not have to face down the belly of the beast (LA traffic) every Friday night on my way to the mountains.

ParticipantCaveat…I did not read all the posts, its a sunday, and because now I actually work and cannot post all I want.
Move away!
Maybe the shine has not yet warn off, but Northern california certainly has greener grass!
You can make half as much and have twice the standard of living with more content people around you to boot!
The half as much is a myth by the way, because a comparable job in sacramento is making more than san diego at least from my limited data point.
The housing market down their is screwed, and without 1 in 2 mortgage owners declaring bancruptcy (which they should given their DTI) the market will not realize gravity, or at least not for another 10 years. Sun and clement weather has a way of denying gravity.
So move away or constantly be pissed at living responsibly…people do live cheaper in other states and markets. Or maybe I just moved to a place with fewer smart people, either way, I don’t care. Because everything feels better up here.
I may have a less of a poke the bear response to follow. But that is just my initial impression from my first week in sacramento.
