I have had it- "no mas"
Okay- I have had my baby since end of November. Weather in Chicago was pretty good for a month but was vacationing/traveling for almost the whole time. Here I sit with 700 miles and the weather does not look promising for the next few weeks. This is BS but I made my bed.
It is time to look for a destination to store my .2 for the Winter where I can fly out 3-4 times a Winter and enjoy her on some really good roads. My Sister in Law sold her home on Hermosa Beach and bought a place in the Hamptons so neither location would probably be ideal. My Wife spends a lot of time in San Francisco and we have friends there with a home in Napa so thinking that may be best. Getting to NC/SC easy from Chicago.
Seeking some advice from this forum. As soon as i decide on a location, for next year, will reach out to see if any one could help out with storage- not looking for a free ride but a trusted Winter home.
Thanks

I can't help with storage, but you should winter store in the bay area. That will be your chance to drive the car on a world class track 3-4 times a year. It's the only thing that keeps me in this hellhole of a state

Can’t help with any recommendations but I’ve had it wth the weather in the overly cold northeast. There are three to four usable months of the year.
Ortho Joe. My friends rant and rave about California. Politics aside is cali that bad? My wife and I are seriously considering relocating to Northern California, Texas or maybe Florida simply because of the weather.

This is CORRECT. Hill Country TX for sure. Great food. Beautiful. All of the above and hey its Texas - its terrific. I love CA and have so many friends there and once lived in Manhattan Beach but I gotta say the Hill Country region (around Austin) or around Ashville NC are the greatest for what you need but COTA makes the Austin area edge it out.

For road driving there is a place near Austin called the 3 Sisters drive. Google it. Sooo much fun.

The traffic is so bad that you have no desire to go anywhere and end up holed in.
The state is going to hell in a handbasket at an ever accelerating rate. I'm stuck here. Otherwise I would head for Texas.
I lived in Michigan for the first 30 years of my life. I hated the cold and the weather, but I'll take poor weather over entitled/rude people and astronomical cost of living.

OC
U should also consider south of Hermosa/Manhattan beach in Orange County. Newport Beach is now the Mecca of sports cars along with Dubai and Monaco. Great weather, good roads and lots of activities like cars and coffee, Lambo OC car shows, LB GP with exotic car gathering, and PCA/POC track and other activities. Check out Crevier classic cars for nice car storage

Palm beach? Nonstop flights to PBI airport.
Homestead, PBIR, Sebring, Daytona. But roads are boring though.
i have AC secured storage cameras accessible every day.
ill throw in concierge service and your car is always detailed fueled and serviced when you arrive.
And it doesn’t freeze, ever.

Before I yell out "OMG Northern California!".. just go take some time to visit rennlisters in each location you are considering and then decide for yourself. Quite a few of us here happy to show you around, and I'm sure everywhere else.
You know that just like picking a car, or maybe even more so... nothing written on this forum can give you that sense that you KNOW how you feel about a place. Invest the time to find out and you'll feel great about your choice.
