Give it up Richie. Richmond > Roanoke if you want to have anything fun to do.

This is why Roanoke sucks to many people bitching about everything, they are good parts and the bad parts. The whole state is lame!

I actually thought about that... But I don't think i'm much of a west coast guy. I love Scottsdale AZ though. I'm going there, and Tuscon in a week over spring break. Going to visit the Barret Jackson auto auction, I want to bring back some cars as souvenirs!

Weather is great, I do a lot of work in San Diego. But I hope you don't plan on keeping your car hobby going there, probably the worst state for car guys.
