I actually do. The majority of people going out of California and going to Oregon or Colorado, or Nevada is due to the housing situation.

What I find funny is all the people that say things like this. Hey when the movie industry decided to move to California from New York that is when California started getting heavily populated. All these people here in California came from somewhere right.

Technically if you really want to look at it California is not sending people over, they are just returning the number of people that came from other states.

I personally don't mind living here. Hell, I got the Boxster on Jan. 21 and have only had 3 occasions where I have had to drive with the top up.

Personally though, I would not be bothered to move out. Hell I spent quite a couple of years in Germany living in a small town and loved it there too.

To the OP, I don't know exactly what you are looking for but essentially Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona are fairly cheap and upcoming communities as well.

Also since there is a lot of CO people here. Last month or so I read an interesting article that claimed that CO is not the new Meth capital of the US. Supposedly there are more Meth Labs and more Meth produced in CO than in any other state. I found that to be confusing.

It is funny that you colorado folk also call the new houses mcmansions. There doing that all over here also.. They are going for about 1.5-3mil. I live across the street from a sod farm which they are selling to build 5hundred and somthing units. So I know the feeling. Thanks for everybodys input. On a lighter not I'm putting on my new rotors and painting my calipers tomorrow if it is warm enough to want to go outside

I have lived in many places, not CO, but still many places, and Long Island and NYC are by far the best places to live


Only other place I'd consider is SoCal.


You need to stay!!!!! We need more Porsche owners. There aren't enough /sarcasm

Hey all,
I'm a 99 boxster owner and i love my car! I'm actually moving to CO next month...don't worry I'll get the right tires and all that...

Can anyone recommend a good Porsche mechanic in CO? I hope i don't ever get to need one while I'm there but you never know...

I'm moving to Beaver Creek...but if i have to travel to get to a good mechanic...i will...

thanks in advance!

Sounds like you are coming for the ski season. One of the ski areas (Arapahoe Basin) opened last weekend, albeit with pseudo-snow. Good luck wheeling a Box around the Vail area in the winter regardless of what kind of tires you have. Your issue will be ground clearance in the foot deep snowfalls they get about every other night from Dec to March. But maybe you know all that, and I promise I won't worry.

In any event there two Porsche dealers in Denver (Prestige and Stevinson), one in Boulder (Gebhard), plus one in Colo. Springs and one in Ft. Collins. Next closest is in Salt Lake City.
There are several independant Porsche shops in Denver, Storz Garage (the one I take my Box to), Eurosport Automotive, Eurosport Ltd., Eisenbud's. I know Storz and the two Eurosports work on late model Porsches, not sure about Eisenbud.
There is another indie shop, AJRS, in Grand Junction, west from Vail, over on the Utah border. Probably farther than driving to Denver, but you don't have to go over any passes.

Have fun.

I moved to the Rocky area after 15 years in SoCal. Trust me unless your an avid skiier or have business there the culture shock will make it unbearable. Unless your really like the rural setup.
