Need HELP! Moving to Gilroy CA
 

Morning ... I have accepted a job offer in Gilroy CA and need recommendations for storing my 67 Camaro. Called around to storage units and they said they "can't store a non-op car on the grounds!" What? I have a quote from Reliable Carriers to get it there, just no place to put it inside outa sight!

Any recommendations? I am on a waiting list for house rentals, so it could be some time before I can put her in a garage. One moving company said I could leave the car on their truck and just pay storage for the whole truck ... so far best option!

Michael

Do they ask what you will be storing now days? I might be able to understand them saying that if the car was stored outside in the open, but what difference does it make in a garage? I think I would call around to different storage facilities and if they ask what you are storing just tell them car parts. Technically it would be true.

BTW, Congratulations on the new job!

I use a Public Storage indoor unit to store 4 cars and 2 motorcycles and have never had any issues with them about it.

.

.I have room on my lift for another, if your needing a temp storage location.
I'm 15 min from Gilroy.

Congrats on the job offer/ & move!!

Thanks guys ... this is the best news I've had all day, been a rough one ... had to put my 11 year old Great Dane down this afternoon. Bone cancer was taking it's toll on her quality of life and mine, so it was a hard decision but I'd like to think she's in heaven chasing squirrels right now!

Vince if you are sure you can spare space I would appreciate it ... I'm working w a property mngmt agency to rent in Gilroy or Hollister, I have to be at work SCRWA on April 4th.

Michael

Chief,
Condolences on your pup. We know they only go 10-15 years when we get them, yet it is so hard to lose them. It is hard to get another one right away, and hard not to.
Congrats on the new job & move. Boy, you got a plate full!

There goes the neighborhood but welcome to the left coast. What is SCRWA ? Sorry about your Dane. Ours only live a little over a year and they are such sweethearts.

Thanks ... yeah my plate is full, but if it were easy everyone would do it!

Thanks for the thoughts, I do miss my girl!

Michael

Michael,


So sorry about your Dane!!


The good news is - now you can come up to Thunderhill and Sonoma and listen to Charlie and I bicker..... LOL

Thanks ... she is a good girl! I would like to think my Dane is chasing SQ Earls in heaven right now!

You bet I'll be there, I was thinking the same thing, just up the road!

Michael

Thunderhill April 23-24.

Welcome to the other side--hope you like garlic!

Condolences on the doggy--a Great Dane living to 11 is like a human hitting 95. That dog had a nice, unusually long life, so there's something to be happy about there.

I might be able to make Thunderhill that weekend, are you and Greg driving?


Thanks, my Cassie girl was the Greatest Dane!

I am not a garlic fan, growing up in NM I love Hatch green chile!!

Michael

YES we are!


Grab a room QUICK!!!

Baymont is pretty reasonable and right next to where we eat @ CASA RAMOS FTW! (Charlie and I stay at the Holiday Inn). You can watch Charlie get hammered on Tequila!! LOL

No charge to get in to the track! Track is 7 miles WEST of I-5 on hwy 162 (the main street that runs thru Willows and runs east and west. Head west and you can't miss the track - it'll be on the right side. Or just follow all the car trailers.

:relax: Got a room at the Holiday Inn for Saturday, not sure if I can make the Friday dinner, I'll try! This is gonna be fun!!!! :popcorn2:

Michael

This is not a good way to start a move to CA!!!! At least 12 inches and still coming down, winter storm watch til tonite, lovely! :bang:

I'll get there!!!

Not good!! Those headlights are the moving truck that is stuck at the end of the cul-desac! Bummer, this is gonna be harder than I thought!

Guess we'll wait for a tow truck ... or the sun!!

You won't have that problem in California --- there you just won't be able to get a drink of water.... LOL

I'll just bring my own! Truck is unstuck finally, loading tomorrow hopefully. Then load the Camaro and get outa Dodge!

Sorry to hear about your dog Michael. We have one that concerns me, and I am feeling worse about it daily.

We were in the same town and never met. Two years until retirement and I will have some time to do whatever I want.

Best wishes on the new job, and safe travels.

You probably won't miss the white stuff!

Joe

Joe ... thanks for thinking of me!!! It's a hard choice to make fer sure! My Cassie girl made the trip w me if only in spirit she's always with me!!

Michael

Still cleaning the rental that was supposed to be clean .... more to come!

Michael

cool!! what do you think of the area?

You're just in time for the ultimate contrast in weather. Better still, you're now so close to Laguna Seca, that place where people race Camaros from time to time . . . Congrats on the move!

I already love the Mulberry atmosphere here!

Thanks, I feel right out at home already! First day of work is Monday ....bring it on!

Michael

Good for you Michael! I wish I had the guts to pack up and move like that.

Welcome to Cali Michael! At least now you won't have to worry about all that white stuff keeping you out of the garage

You gotta do what you gotta do ... I will be using my wisdom and my MBA at this new job!

Efrain ... thanks, can't wait to organize the garage and start working on the Camaro. I will call if I'm coming down to your area!

It was like 90 degrees today in Gilroy. huge difference from that snow picture!

it's been 70 here in Fort Collins, but I still envy the California weather.

Hope all is well, Joe

John ... where are u home based? I'm here is Hollister now, if you're in the area give me a call, pm and I'll give you my phone #.


Joe ... 70's are good for the Fort this time of year, yeah it's nice here, gonna be able to work in the garage w/o wearing 8 layers of insulated clothes!!!

Michael

I live in San Ramon which is about an hour north of Gilroy. I was driving past Gilroy that day coming back from Monterey bay Aquarium.

While in Hollister look of Jardine's Mexican restaurant. Absolutely love that place!!

I seen your Fastback. Incredible car when its finished. Low buck but cooler than some high dollar stuff I have seen.

Oh ok, still trying to get my bearings here and remember how far different places are from me.


Jardines huh? I'll look for it, I do like me some good Mexican food :thumbsup:



Heading to the garage ....

Welcome to the area, I'm down the road a bit in Marina near the airport...so...how many times you been to In 'n Out? :confused59:

Thanks, haven't even looked for one ... I'm too used to going to Sonic when I get a craving for a green chile burger!
