Welcome from the land of rust!
Post some pics of your rig, we're picture fiends around here lol

I've spent some time in CO, actually bought my 'burb out there. It's amazing how many squares (and old cars in general) are still cruising around out there like normal. Despite the paint all being sunburned off, as soon as I got it back here instantly people were offering to buy it off me. Funny how what was seen as a $1k turd out there was seen as a gem up here in New England. Rust is a big plague up here, you're lucky you don't have to deal with it so much

Yeah but we have started using Mag chloride to clear the snow it won't be long before the start rusting. And I bet you could start picking up some cheap beaters out here soon with this state going to Cali emissions standards.

Gross. Yeah I knew about the mag chloride, that's been going on for about 10 years in the front range. Even so, it seems like they use less and it washes away faster (truth be told I'm secretly also an old Toyota truck fan as well, those rust before the American steel, I noticed those getting crunchy a few years ago). I hadn't heard about the Cali emissions though. My old man lives out there and has a few late 70s cars that are engine swapped, and I haven't heard about him getting any sh!t over emissions because of it. Is this a brand new thing, or just something your city/county does? Everyone out there seems ready to 0rally pleasure the left so I wouldn't be surprised, but it's still scattered depending on where you are. Seems like over here sh!t is statewide, and out west it's based on your locality (which is cool but seems foreign to me, I know my dad's town has city, state, and county tax- I used to make sure I drove JUST across county lines to buy booze when I was out there). Well it is what it is, either way it's cool to have you around. If your state doesn't kill the fun I will most likely be out there buying parts again in the next year or so

REALLY guys, the word 0rally is censored? If I want to tell someone about how I didn't get the title but had an oral agreement for purchase, somehow that is banned? I know the site is trying to make a buck off sponsors and I respect that, but these censors are ridiculous. We see stars every time someone farts west on a Tuesday now. If someone is talking about something horrendous like r@ping people, or even saying "fcuk yourself" I understand that being CENSORED (which is never okay on the internet of all places, but financially i get it at least), but for stuff that can barely be construed as negative in some situations to be blanked out, man I really feel like we're living in 1984. Not all over again, but the way George Orwell predicted it...
