Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I hope to make it out to the meets! I actually wasn't sure about how strict Norcal cops were in terms of modification so I put my car to "legal" standards before coming up, but soon realized there are a ton of modified cars here haha! I am going to SFSU for the Clinical Lab Scientist program! (for the person who asked)

And I would say from my experience getting to the Milpitas meet at 930pm is too early and you will be the only one there. This is based on a large sample size across a time frame of three years.

Given that you will be in SF, I presume, it would be good to link up with the SF crowd to caravan down.

If you like to DRIVE your car, as opposed to sitting in parking lots staring at big brake kits that will never ever be used to their potential, take a trip to the Santa Cruz mountains for the best twisty roads on earth.

cool, just make sure you have your front plates if you plan on living or parking in SF city. They ticket for that more than another other place to justify all the camera equipment they invested in.

other silly things
-the buses are watching you, they have camera mounted that read plates and give tickets our if they see u parked illegally.. ect

Amen, the mountain roads are awesome around here. Since you're in the city, you should head over the Golden Gate and drive up in the Marin headlands for some fantastic views of the bay. Highway 1 up and down the coast is amazing.

The clinical portion of my program is with South San Francisco Kaiser so if they have a position after my program I will most likely work for them.
