Cool Ol' Fartus Emeritus to move to NoCal

As some of you may know, I have just been through a disolution of my 24-year marriage, and I also just retired from work. My entire family (including my 93-year-old parents) live in the Santa Cruz area. I was up on a visit, and was looking at some condos, apartments, and open houses, and dang... I bought a house up there. I should say "a cottage" (that's what the builder calls them).

Escrow closes on June 13th, and I'll probably be living there by mid-July.

I wanted to say how much I'll miss my SoCal fellow nitwits... I sure have met some great folks through this forum. I'm looking forward to my move to Santa Cruz, and hope the nitwits up there are just as nice.

Goodbye and Hello.

Good luck to you Steve. Just know that you can't drive Rufus with Birkenstock sandals, so don't let those NorCal folks get to you.

Steve your car is appreciated and inspired regardless where you live. Good luck with the relocation.

Steve,

We await your arrival with open arms. We can do a lot more road trips together after you moved.

Steve,
Looking forward to having you join the NorCal family! Can't wait to get our cars together. Rufus was my inspiration!

Steve,
Just put a "Hybrid" badge on Rufus and you'll fit right in.

Steve,

I'm very happy for you! House looks great. I feel like we have another reason to drive up there... what's a few hundred miles between friends... we just did close to 2000!

I think it's great that the original three amigos will be living close to each other! I will miss seeing Rufus at events... who knows maybe the beast and I will have to pick up the slack and represent RUF!

I have to tell you what a great guy you are. Before you even really knew me you handed me the keys to RUFUS. That was very cool... of course, you also got me hooked...

It's an honor to know you and to call you a friend.
