Where in North America do you think is the ideal location for a car guy? Things to consider:
Year 'round driving (no more 7 month winters)
Low frequency/risk of natural disasters (hurricanes, tornados, floods, fires, hail storms, tsunamis, earthquakes)
Low crime rate
Nice scenery
Active car hobby scene
Good motorsports facilities (drag and track)
Low cost of living
Relaxed regulatory environment (emissions restrictions etc)
With a population of one million, Calgary scores high on most of these but the long winters suck. I stay here because of my company/industry but plan to retire in the next few years and will be looking to relocate to a climate more conducive to my hobbies. Anyone want to make a case for their favorite locale?
