Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

What were you hearing? Ticketing?

 

Just fucking around. None of yall drive mommy vehicles. Just having fun piling on the joke. Driving my limo offroad I definitely wish I wasn't as long sometimes.

 

Those suckers are PRICEEEYYYY. I’d be scared to take one of those anywhere for the money they cost.

 

As you can tell a lot of guys I wheel with have Trail Limo's. Sometimes that break over angle helps, sometimes it hurts. Where the 4Runner really shines is tight tree lined trails. I've watched buddies in Taco's barely make a squeeze and I drive through the same spot with ease. Both are great platforms they just each wheel a little differently. I also own a 96 Taco that I rally the shit out of. lol

 

Ticket and warnings

 

Nice! Guess I won't be seeing much of that sexy truck around the bay anymore

 

3g 4runners and first gen tacos are great because of their width. What obstacles other trucks will struggle on, I find that a lot of the time I can go right up due to that fact.
Narrow vehicles are great on the trail

 

Shoulda seen the front end

 

Said no guy, ever.

 

Anyone have feedback on living in Clovis? Girlfriend’s grandmother is offloading her properties to buy a retirement home in Hawaii and might be giving us a GREAT deal on a home.

 

Can't give first hand feedback but I always check crime and schools when browsing a potential place to call home.

If it truly is a great deal monitarily but you don’t like it there you could always flip it and come out ahead.

 

I would suggest not doing that. Mostly familial reasons.

 

Depends on the family and whether there’s an attachment to the house. If she's doing it to help them get started she might be happier knowing they made something more of the opportunity. It sounded like one of several properties rather than the family home. But yeah, it could also be a bad idea for other reasons. Talking to her about it could clear the air quickly enough.

 

We were actually going to consider renting it out if we didn’t like it. That’s actually what her grandma is doing right now but she just wants to dump the property just to get a lump sum for her retirement home.

I think my GF would want to keep it long term since it’s the house she grew up in as a kid. Plus, owning some property would benefit us tax wise!

 

Sounds like you have some ideas. Good luck with them.

 

I grew up in Fresno and spent a good amount of time in Clovis (worked out there, friends out there, etc.) I don't know what's considered Clovis these days because there is endless sprawl down there. I'd rate life in the Fresno/Clovis area as fine, 5.5/10.

Cons: It's hot as fuck in the summer, the air sucks, you have to drive everywhere, and everyone thinks you live in a shit hole.
Pros: It's pretty safe, the cost of living is much lower than the bay area, and you're much closer to the mountains.

 

In some situations, equality matters more than family. I’ll leave it at that and say it sucks because being able to help someone is such a great thing and some may need more help than others.

 

My grandparents lived in Selma which is right next door to Fresno. They moved out 5 years or so ago because the crime started getting worse, but I'm sure Fresno is better.
Central valley heat is pretty brutal. Great wheeling right in your backyard though.

 

When I made my list of pros and cons my list is literally the same as yours LOL
