San Francisco has the least average temperature extremes in the US.
No snow or frost...

Re: What Car??

I'd guess there won't be a better time to buy a car than now. Plenty of deals and incentives going.

My wife has her eye on the Acura TSX.

Re: What Car??

I wonder what kind of deal people are getting these days?

probably could get a better price.

Re: What Car??

The Fit is highly rated by Consumer Reports, but the Mazda3 5 door has more Pizazz.

Many of those touting the great British sense of humour are sadly lacking it in themselves.

I don't get the hostility when advising someone not to stay if they are unhappy. There are far to...

Re: Why wouldn't I want a US passport?!

I've had a US passport for 15 years. There is no issues with it, the US gov doesn't care, it's permissible.
The upside you can vote and it opens up more job opportunities.

Because I'm actually trying to get to understand why so many people continue to say how crap their life is here, yet continue living here.

Re: just moved to the US from UK

Life's too short it live somewhere that causes you unhappiness and depression.
