I actually LOL'd! I'm sure that she'd be pleased to know that. heh heh

I've never lived there, but I'm sure there are lots of worse places to live.

My brother lived in Greenville for a couple of years. There are some real nice people there. Don't know how they'd handle an imported car. They like their chevys.

It's a 10 hr drive from where I am now.
It is 15 minutes closer to VIR than I am now.
Close to Road Atlanta and closer to Barber. Those are the good points.
I need to find work. I have a few leads.

I think with the BMW plant nearby, they'll get over it.

Hhhmm. Its going to be hard i guess. I was planning to move to Arizona on my own, maybe with my gf if i felt like taking her, lol. Make sure you take a good full tank of driving around in the new place. Find out where your stores are at, theatres, tire shops, racing events, main streets, stadiums, especially a hospital etc.. etc..

I cant NEVER leave LA. I think ill pass out if i ever did. I got EVERYTHING down here. But if i move to Arizona, itll be for a good reason. Cuz in my heart i cant ever imagine leaving LA maybe 45 minutes tops!

Good Luck with the move.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

The double negative implies that you can leave L.A.

Man, you can buy a lot of house in the Greenville compared to the Washington, DC area.
We fell in love with a house that was sold the same day.
I also passed a 318ti parked in a driveway in Greer.
I had no decals with me.

Who's going to take care of us 318ti-ers in DC, Steven?.....
We're gonna miss seeing you at the Autocrosses.
I still have your Scan tool BTW.

I guess us MA members up north here won't be able to meet you in person and check out your ti! Now there will be a good reason to go to the BMW plant and take some ///M classes.

Good luck with the move and future plans!

Columbia is an hour from Greenville, there's a bit of a car scene down here, and a small BMW scene as well.
Greenville is nice, I've been up there a lot. There are more BMW's than enthusiasts, and with the plant right next door, there are a few BMW-related jobs to be had.

Greenville is about 30 minutes away from the Blue Ridge mountains, which have a lot of twisty roads that are a blast to drive on.
