STEVE POLLARD Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm looking at retirement within the year and we want to move from New York and head down south to either North or South Carolina. My wife spent a short time down in Jacksonville, N.C. as a child ( military brat ), so we are exploring different localities between the Carolina's. Just looking for some input from the members here on their own personal opinion....naturally I'm bringing all of my vehicles with me and I want to stay active in the local car clubs!Thanks!

MCHinson Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 steveimpala,There are a lot of New York and New Jersey retirees in the Wilmington NC area. We have an active local antique car scene in this area. Feel free to check out the NC Region website at http://www.ncregionaaca.org/ as well as the local Cape Fear Chapter website at http://www.ncregionaaca.com/capefear/.

trimacar Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I knew Wilmington would come up in the thread! It is a nice place.....I always liked the Charlotte area, but it's busy, crowded, so forth. I lived in Camden, SC, for a couple of years long ago, a nice little town with some very wealthy residents here and there. A few hours to the beach, or a few hours to the mountains, and great climate...The Carolina's are a nice place to live or retire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I agree with Jay144, he made comments about the general mind set in the area, no one to sue AACA, why was his post deleted?If someone asks a question, then all answers should be allowed that don't endanger the AACA.It's no secret that liberal north, conservative south....

rocketraider Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Southern Virginia isn't a bad area either and may be a little more "old-car-friendly" as far as licensing and taxation. Or at least as long as we can keep our friendly 14th House District career legislator on a leash...Roanoke and Lynchburg have very active AACA groups and are within a few hours drive of other active groups.

62BillT Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah, I can't believe some of the prices I hear about Taxes in the North. I hear of $5000 to $15,000 now and then and was talking to one guy in NJ recently and he told me that he is paying $24,000 a year!! He broke it down over the phone to me that it was $2000 a month, $500 a week and said the first $100 he made of every work day went towards taxes. Ours is just a small fraction of that.
