Moved to Venice the past May from Chicago. Wife and I love it. Will probably buy in Pacific Palisades soon. I have seen 1 day of rain since I have been here. I would never option AWD unless it was standard or required for some other option(s) I wanted. My brother lives out by Pasadena. I personally love west LA since I have close proximity to PCH and all of the canyons but I'm always jealous that my brother has Angeles Crest Hwy in his backyard... Just did a run on up to Mt Wilson last Sunday in the GT3 and it was incredible. There are 911 meet-ups every weekend. I'll be at the Museum of Flying for PCA's cars and coffee in Santa Monica on Sunday.
If you are into cars and driving roads, this is the place to be as long as you have the means to properly enjoy it here and not stress about the added cost of living
Housing is about 3x times what I paid in Chicago and general daily cost of living is probably 50% higher. It is what it is and so worth it. I know others will disagree.

All are welcome! Events are posted on your local PCA website. If your in the Los Angeles area, there are PCA meets pretty much every weekend and other "unofficial" meets going on as well.You will find most guys will be more than happy to show you around their cars and talk your ear off for as long as you can stand it lol.

My wife and I are moving to Pasadena in early 2020. We each currently drive a C4S and are on the list for a 992 Cab and Targa. Here in Pennsylvania having all wheel drive has come in handy in both the snow and rain. In fact, my wife's car is a daily driver, and we run a winter tire/wheel set in the bad weather. Of course the Targa will be all wheel drive, but should I just go with a C2S Cab? Thoughts, anyone?

Welcome to Pasadena! I have been living here for over 30 years and love it. We could use a bit more bad weather/ rain though. Anyway, like most other have stated, all wheel drive is not required here, especially it seems that you will keep an all wheel drive Targa anyway. I would suggest get a C2S Cab for a little bit more driving fun. .
I, too, married a fellow car nut. When we met, my wife drove a '76 Mustang Mach I (back then the Mach I was just an appearance package). She learned how to drive a stick on my '78 Alfa Spider, graduated (?) to a Fiat X1/9, then a 944, followed by the 911 and a succession of Porsches and BMW's with another Mustang thrown in. Hence the two 911s we have now.
