I have accepted a promotion and relocation to California, in the Bay Area. As you might have guessed, I work in the canned ham business.

So I leave Montreal, Quebec and will not be bringing the car. I will get a company car, and the California state car is in the list of potentials.

This means I just shook hands with a lucky bastard who will pick up the lease on my 2014 WRX in a couple of weeks. It's a sad day. A very sad day.

"As you might have guessed, I work in the canned ham business." I... did not guess this, nor thought anyone did... moving to Cali, is canned ham like secret code for pron business?

But free Prius opens up money for buying a Hellcat, so that's nice.

I work in the canned ham business.

I sincerely hope that's a euphemism for something.

I doubt money will be going towards a second car to begin with, but I HAVE been keeping tabs on the 2016 "Answer to Everything" Miata. Or a BRZ. Or a 914.

Yes. To be fair, I'm not entirely happy about it either, as I love winter. I'll have to travel to go skiing.

Well, throw a rock in the Bay area, and you'll hit an employee or three from this industry.

When one door closes...

I now find myself looking at all cars as a possibility, mainly because of weather!

I've heard there are a few businesses in the SF Bay area that are involved in this newfangled internet thing all the kids are talking about. Perhaps a few of them, possibly, send out large quantities of unsolicited email to unwilling recipients? That, or Hormel's marketing department is in San Jose.

Spam? Digital advertising or something of that nature such as ad re-targeting?

Goddamn, so sexy, if I could throw a bike in the back I'd upgrade from the 04 wagon in a heartbeat.

i did the bike in the back a few times. My parents had a trailer hitch bike carrier. For my birthday, they got me the hitch and gave the carrier as they havn't used it in years. Its much nicer to not muck up the interior and the hitch carrier give you a great place to service your bike.

As much hate as we give it, the Prius really isn't that bad of a car. I say take the Prius as a daily driver (because it's free) then spend $2-5k on a older fun car (I.e. 1st gen. MX-5, E30, or Fox Stang).

One of those industries that Vallywag is always talking about.
Insert joke about SF: something something gentrification something rent is too damn high something something Prius.
