Winter blahhhhs in the great white north

[cobrarob]

As I continue to read the forum I become more envious every day of the guys living in southern california

I look out side and it is 5 degrees and then I check out San diego weather and it is 23 degrees right now , perfect car weather

My wife and I have been thinking about getting a place in So-Cal , however there are so many different areas in So-Cal that i dont know where to visit to look for a place

I am interested in a place that is close or fairly close to the water and where lots of car guys exist , where cruising happens and where car guys get together

Can anyone tell me of some areas that I could begin my search from

Thanks
