Ignore the PM i sent and welcome to the CALEXODUS and rapid growing number of Californian refugees (like me).

The number of raised vehicles is easy to explain. Bad weather, road debris, and unpaved roads are tough on low vehicles. Once hit a small piece of wood and tore a hole in the tank out of our VW Passat SEL TDI. We left a 10 mile trail of diesel behind us to delight and skidding of others behind us while traveling on a rainy day. Having to watch for every little thing lying in the road sucks the fun right out of driving.

Congratulations on your escape from the PRC. Hope you find Idaho is a different world, free of the permanent dark cloud enveloping our former, god forsaken, state.
