Some of you know I flew into Chicago last week for a job interview.

Things have been going very well for me recently (other than the negative money issue)

So is there anyone in the Chicago area that wouldn't mind having a race trailer (24') stored on their property? I would prefer to find a place where I can store all my stuff with me, but I dunno if that is quite possible yet.

So I don't see the downside

2nd worst traffic in the nation, right behind LA.

So, live close to work if you can afford it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

Traffic is not bad in LA and it wasn't bad in Chicago. It was however horrendous in DC.

I was looking at staying on the Indiana side of the city (the company is in Indiana)

Well, I think you are looking at it through rose colored glasses. I have lived in 6 different states ( LA, TX, CA, IN, SC, IL) and traveled to most of the major cities in the US with the exception of the NW, Miami, and Boston. I would agree the 3 with the worst traffic are Chicago, LA, and NYC. I've heard Boston is just as bad. DC can't hold a candle to Chicago. If it wasn't bad the day you were here you were lucky. Wrong day or wrong time of day it can back up for 40-50 miles - no joke. Unfortunately those wrong times of day come far too often.

If you can, stay in Indiana. Taxes are lower and the politics are not as screwed up.

It does sound like the cost of living may be the only downside for you from where you are coming from - the upside being the excellent amount of automotive stuff here.

BTW, Road America with the MFBA is in October (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
