So you are moving from SLO to SB? You won't find much rotary wise down there, though mariah motorsports is there, there isn't a big rotary scene locally. Otherwise, depending on your age, either downtown or dp would be the place to go. I use to live down there, but I moved back up to the bay area last year... good luck... oh yeah, some car people meet at in n out on fridays too

Typically that would scare me because you are not a scrawny guy. But after seeing this picture I'm just not afraid anymore.




























Don't worry Cowboy, it's all in good fun. If you need any help with the move let me know.

You have to make over 100k to afford to live in SB. Welcome to the life of the SB impoverished.

Everything is for sale ........... for the right price . Of course, you would probably want to paint it yellow, and that just won't do!!!!

Alvin,

Thanks for the link to the pics. My car really leans in the corners. I didn't realize how much. I guess that's what happens with stock suspension. It would be worse if I had race tires .

wow, thats alot o money...I know where we are partying though! And no Adam, I wouldn't paint your car yellow. I like the white, its actually my favorite on the 3rd gens. Now just some of the new 99 spec front lights and tails, and I would be good to go. Leave it white.

Oh yeah, downtown goes off thurs fri and sat nights, usually thurs and sat are the best, IV is always partying but mostly for the younger crowd. As far as driving fun there are some nice roads as long as you have just a spring shock combo or mild coilovers, unfortunatly they are not smooth enough and really abuse the hell out of a super stiff car.
