Hello all, my name is Jay and I drive a 96 zetec tour. I will shortly be moving to northern Cali! Just outside of Redding to be precise. Got a full-time year round job fighting fires at Lassen National Park. Just wanted to say hi, and check out the scene in northern Cali. I realize you are a bit south of me, but thats what having a car is all about! Hope to see some more tour's soon!

Anyways welcome...

K&N Intake
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet. When toast is dropped, it always lands butter-side-down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the cat's feet, butter facing up. The two will hover, spinning, inches above the ground. With a giant buttered-toast/cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

Welcome to California. You may not like the state so much after you register that car though.

probably cause it costs so much bloody money to register. my last one was $320.
gas prices being another thing you'll learn to hate.
what else? tickets cost more? i'm sure they do.

California vehicle registration went way down for me this year. Probably you too. You will find out how much when you renew your registration. I saved like 150 bucks or so.
Welcome to California! NOW GO HOME! Just kidding. Welcome to the land of fruits and nuts. At least you will be living in Norcal as opposed to LA LA land.
