Well the superficial answer is, Most people in Californai are bent on having the latest and newest material thing out.. NONSTOP. In the Midwest and East coast they need a little coaxing so they salt the shit out of the roads to melt snow, turn it into ice so accidents happen more often and JUST IN CASE you find yourself to be better than the average driver.. the salt doubles up to eat away at your car.. THEREBY creating commerce by cause of actions.
The sadder reality is even thats not too far off from the truth.
And also, the midwest and East coast, the far majority of Soft-tops, plastics, and rubber items like belts, hoses, tires, wiring, seems to last longer as well as paint so whereas frames and panels are generally rust free. California businesses up the cost on all of the other wearable items and you will find the vast majority of people just this side of the Mississippi river and over the other side to the East coast won't often pay California prices for anything unless forced to and even then.. even then they'll find a deal or get it used.
Kalifornistan is an Ass-backwards State. Only State I've ever lived in where everything is open 7 days a week, people work ridiculous hours, make more money per hour than 90% of the rest of the States and yet its got the highest amount of welfare recipients and broke as a Xmas eve beggar on Xmas eve society living in it. 36 million people plus, and 68% live pay check to paycheck and anything that would be considered a financial drop to one knee puts people on the next price is right of being homeless.
As my Home State, and putting my time in living there back in the day and within the last decade.. Even the weather is nothing to brag about. And no disrespect to you and yours but the people overall suck. If they aren't trying to figure out a way to stab ya for what you have, they're complaining about being hung with a brand new rope.
Wont even get into the politics or how business UNfriendly that state is.
