Just outside Sacramento. An hour might be a stretch to Lake Tahoe proper, but even with daily traffic either one in less than two hours and on a good day I can get to Tahoe in just over an hour and to the San Pablo Bay in under an hour (at night even quicker).
I moved here in 2000 and have felt a handful of very minor earthquakes (like a slight vibration in the feet if barefoot) and one decent shake that caused me to check the chimney on my 2 story house. I felt a much more powerful quake in Kentucky sometime late 70’s or early 80’s.

In the last week Ford replaced EGR cooler and transmission heater/coolant valve in southern california (check engine light came on during 6 hour trip from Sacramento to LA) it took 12 days at Citrus Ford (DO NOT RECCOMEND) to replace those two parts. I picked up the truck when completed and...
