Tempting

[Slowhawk]

To move south. Got offered a bunch of jobs so far with the latest being vengeance racing. Hmmm warm weather.

[ZFreie]

do what ya gotta, would suck to lose the best shop in the area but greener pasturees are always good.

Ill have to buy a dyno and learn to tune lt1s then lolol

[My84Z]

are you vested enough in the electrical union?



I'd miss you :( hahah

[KB93z28]

NO!!!!!! you have to stay for when I buy an ls1 car someday!!!! haha but that would be pretty cool, do what you want man.

[holokosta]

In the end its all in what makes you happy and is right for your future... But just remember weather wise the summers are STUPID hot lol.

[Slowhawk]

This last summer was stupid hot here. So doesn't matter. Good part is little to no 30 degree days like today.

My shop would be for sale for anyone that wanted to start a shop.

[KLAB]

do it man go where the better life is at. i mean friends and family are important maybe you have a lot of close ones up here but reavelling up the east coast isnt that bad. I would fuck this snow and fucked up roads i dont have a snowmobile anymore

[smokinss]

Well it would be nice to have you down here in Florida. Too bad you would be on the west coast. Keep me updated with your decision

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

Tough choice wen you also add the kids into the mix. I'm sure you'll have it all sorted. I just know I hated wen I was set living somewere and had to move as a kid. Ohh ill miss you too!!!

[Slowhawk]

The wife will move no problem. She hates the cold weather up here. Kids are still young so they should be all set to move.

Problem like always is the $$.

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

but if you have work lined up? its kind of a no brainer. id honestly hate to see yah go. what little time ive spent over there has always been a good time. even wen your on your man period..... hahaha But gotta do what yah gotta do. i myself dont mind the cold.

[KLAB]

[DemonWithin99]

NOOOO!!!!!!!!! you can't go until you do both my cars!!! :*(

although it'd be nice to cruise down to FL one day I'd like to do it with more cops behind me.

[thesilverone]

[whitdog54]

To move south. Got offered a bunch of jobs so far with the latest being vengeance racing. Hmmm warm weather.

Wow Vengeance is nasty thats tough to pass up!

[Slowhawk]

Wow Vengeance is nasty thats tough to pass up!

Yes it is but in truth we do the same builds here. Supercharged/stroker motors are the norm here but we don't post them.

Houses are cheap as hell down there. Good chance we could pay cash for one after selling our stuff up here.

3k+ sq/ft house with 5+ acres for $120k down there.

[My84Z]

Don't be a bitch you wanna retire and stay here :)

[ZFreie]

We are all gonna be screwed if he leaves haha Or will open up a chance for another performance shop to open, because the best one around will be gone and won't be taking all the business. lol

Just mentioned on another board that I'm sick of the cold weather and would like to move south. This is a private board for sponsors. I've been offered a ton of jobs in the past.

Truth is I can't move right now unless something drastic happens.

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

WHAT WOULD SAM DO!?!?!?!? AHHHH!!!!!!!

honestly id LOVE to work with you for a few months and learn. then wen your gone you cant get mad at me for tuning friends cars....... Haaahahahah

[My84Z]

It always looks easy moving on paper... But once you look at all of your assets its very difficult for the most part to be able to pack your shit up and head out... no matter how bad you do or dont want to go... My family used to move us alot, including half way across the world and then work was moving me around for a bit. Granted I don't have kids and a family i cant imagine that helping the situation at all.

But nonetheless, Best of luck i'm sure whatever your decision is itll all work out with some hard work and perseverance

3k+ sq/ft house with 5+ acres for $120k down there.

Having kids makes it real tough. Otherwise, you could be a snowbird and go 1/2 way with a 1.5k sq/ft house with 2 acres for $60K.

With kids in school, this probably would not be practical.

If we had no kids this would be a done deal already. Kids cost $$ and are not flexable like us.

Everything would be difficult. Sell 2 houses up here. Close,sell or move the bussiness. Rent a house or whatever till we find a place we want to live ect.

I'm still hoping to hit the lottery.

Been there. I've had 13 different addresses in my life (so far). Had to move a lot as a kid for my father's job and it still continues today as an adult. All that PITA packing and unpacking.

I went to 3 different High Schools because of the moves. I was always 'The New Kid' who had to fit in. Very tough on kids.

If you're considering the move just for the weather, give it a lot of thought before uprooting your family..
But if it's for BIG BUXX, go for it. Besides, as you've discovered, it's a LOT cheaper to live away from the Northeast.

120k? my god thats insane with that amount of land.

[smokinss]

Yes land is cheeper down here, but all in all its about the same. Gas is more, food depending can be more etc etc. But the roads are straight and flat and its sunny year around down here so can't complain.

[grundens]

I'm contemplating a move to FL as well, just north of palm beach..got a good opportunity down there as well. and though I honestly love my job I'm sick of the cold , brutal winters and almost getting killed on a weekly basis and getting thrown around the boat like a rag doll in the rough, talk about sore!

I've spent a good amount of time in the tampa area and love that place, housing is cheap, cost of living is cheaper etc etc.. I'm not familiar w/ the area I'd be moving to though. one thing you might want to consider since you have kids is how much the public schools suck down there! so you might want to add the cost of private school into the equation too.
