Got a job offer in Riverside, CA. Moving from Indiana. Question is are there any crazy rules for lifted trucks I should think about? I have a 4.5" lift with a hemi. nothing crazy. I understand the emissions stuff and mud flaps are mandatory. Just curious 'cause I know Cali has strict rules for vehicles.
Anyone live in Riverside? Good? Bad?

I have live my whole life in Socal with the exception of three years in college in Stillwater, OK. I live in Orange County. The OC is a beautiful place although it too is becoming more a more unbearable place to live. If I had to live in any other place in the state other than OC, well, I wouldn't. I am the type of guy who like wide open places, the mountains, the woods, hunting, fishing and lots and lots of acrage.
Now, I'm not trying to sound like an ass but unless your new job or job transfer is paying you a significant amount of money more than you are currently making I would seriously consider not taking it. I'm not too familiar with Fort Wayne but I would imagine it will be 100% different than where you are moving from and I'm not talking 100% for the better. Riverside can get real hot in the summer, traffic is an absolute nightmare 7 days a week. Gangs can be pretty bad, if you are white you will be the minority (do you speak Spanish?). If you live in Riverside county but work in LA or Orange County your commute will be some of the worst traffic in the country. Even though the Riverside is not the greatest place to live the cost of living compared to your part of the country is quite high. Still looking at an average size house in a less than great neighborhood where I would not leave anything unlocked, ever, costing $400k plus. You are going to rent an apt? Might as well live in Mexico City and pick up an illicit "habit".
Does that help? Oh, tinted windows are what will get you pulled over. Tires sticking out past your fenders could if they are obnoxious sticking out.
Honestly, if you have any questions about your move feel free to PM me and we can chat on the phone.
