Im talking Pre pandemic....there is no one anywhere now. I used to go to LJ about once a month to see family (pre COVID) and SD and LJ have changed into a two class city, as has CA. I lived there from 1978 to 2010 and when I left you could get to San Onofre from LJ (northern surf) in about 25 minutes, in 2019 it was an hour. Parking down by the Cove is a joke....UTC, really?
Enjoy your time there, if you think it’s beautiful that’s great, 30 years ago it was even better.

The sheer amount of people and the lack of infrastructure to handle it is (one of the reasons) why I sold my house in SD and moved east. My wife worked in LJ and was an hour to get to work (UCSD) and we lived in North Park. The San Diego I fell in love with is long gone, sadly.

I'm familiar with that area because I lived there from 80-98 and agree it's a completely different picture. The SF Bay Area is worse though. I've lived here since 98 and commuted mostly within the east bay. It's always bad, even Sunday afternoon is terrible in San Jose and San Francisco. I think the covid work from home push made a huge difference, but it's reversing now. Sadly, the traffic relief was short lived. I'm in the north bay now, 5 miles from work.
My stress therapy consists of taking my car on regular twisty canyon roads. Seriously, that is why I bought my 911 in October, just for recreation.

This will be your greatest car enthusiast benefit of moving to California. Add to your list, no need for a set of winter wheels and tires. 75 degrees today in Napa, ca.

That's a beauty.

Out of curiosity, what did you pay back then and what was the original MSRP, if you don't mind me asking? I'm shopping for a 991.1 Targa 4S now and hoping to get into a well optioned (~$135k) average mileage (~40k) for mid $80s.

If you think the market is crazy for NA cars now, just wait until they start stuffing batteries in a 911...
