Thanks for the posts and the room in Pomona sounds amazing. I'm not particularly worried about my car getting ripped off. I maintain a 100% stock appearance on my cars inside and out. And if my car gets ripped off - it's just part of living in the big city.
CA living costs can be managed and mitigated to the point where differences are negligible. It just takes some strategy and doing, but I've done it before and it worked out perfectly.
As far as smog testing goes, have a hookup for that? My car would pass the sniffer and OBDII plugin but the visual inspection might get thrown off by the sight of a polished supercharger under the hood (which would be disconnected from the engine, intake and drive-belt wise)
The blower even has a carb eo number on it but I don't think that would take me very far at all.
