San Diego BS Thread.

haha, looks like you are headin outta town

My buddy lives in Del Mar, was planning on going down after work today or tomorrow morning. Gonna watch the traffic and give it a shot

 

Yep, found the traffic headed north

 

We will always remember the wonderful, empty freeways of Pandemic 2020!

 

Yuck

 

and that's why I'm almost always on the motorcycle

 

Looking for a welder who would be interested in helping me design and make 4 brackets. I'd pay for all materials and your time. Wondering how much it would cost as I don't know if it would be cheaper to purchase new yakima racks for the top of the cab, but since I already own these I figure it's worth a shot. Anyone interested?

 

Anybody on here with a white 01-04 lose a LBJ this morning on the 94w? #2 lane and still stuck in the middle #anotherone lol

so the 45* thing on top is in place of the stock roof rail of a vehicle

 

Exactly. I’m not quite ready to poke holes in the roof to install a roof rack that might only get used a few months out of the year. Basically making mini rails

 

fyi -

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a37022836/california-ecu-tune-during-smog-checks/

so who do we have locally that can remove and reinstall our tunes to beat this ?

 

Usually you have to go to the tuners website and find your local authorized dealer or whoever tuned you in the first place.

 

This is why I bought the SC with the bully tune for the CARB. Put the bully tune on for smog, then revert back to HPTune. It'll pass smog and not grenade.

 

yup it’s going to be “ good for business” for the tuners getting paid to R&R our tunes

 

careful everyone. Other threads have been locked for merely discussing the laws and regulations that apply to our trucks.

 

lot of tuners are becoming carb approved. My Cobb tuner for my wrx is carb approved. Being able to go from stock to your tune without bugging a tuner is nice.

 

Did the SD trip 7/7 to 7/10 with long days on both ends...

Taco input and thanks to all who suggested places to eat. Yes, taco shops are a personal thing but here is where I ate:
- City Tacos in PB: good pinto beans and fish tacos ate just fine, crowded but good service
- Taco Surf in PB: not authentic but pretty damn good plate of food. Actually ordered the chicken fajita plate which ate like tacos + peppers.. super good. No booze at this shop
- Oscars in PB: Fish taco and skirt steak taco were good, maybe lacking some heft? Pinto beans really good.
- Luche Libre: good, dirty little place but that's what gives these places flavor.. suck it up and eat
- Tacos El Gordo: es muy bien! Tacos...
- Not a taco shop but new breakfast/lunch/coffee shop in PB, Drift Cafe. Great coffee and great breakfast burrito.. add bacon for the win

What else did I do?
- Laguna Mountains (60 miles east). Drove to Desert View for lunch stop. Cool mountains and a trip through Julian (neat PCT stop over town, I hike much)
- Walk around off the end of exit 2 near Freindship Park at the border... little warm but what a cool wall(s)!
- BBQ twice up in PB at BIL house on Law St.
- La Jolla beach walk... about 5 miles RT. Shopped at the Bentley, Mclaren dealers, nothing struck me as buy-able
- Dive bars: Thrashers, Silver Fox... love the Fox, the bouncer repeatedly goes to the bar for shots of bourbon...
- Cabrillo NM: Just a cool area and have been here every trip to SD. Big ass military ship coming into port
- Dropped off rental car and walked to Little Italy, quick food and drink at Ballast Point (certain there are better options here) and walk to T2... fly home

- Always took side roads when able so saw much. Very clean compared to Portland.

 

I have a hard time imagining a place so dirtier/trashier than SD

 

You've never been to any of the olde cities back east. SD ain't bad.

 

Have ya been to LA lately? lol

 

have, though it's been a few years

 

Que?
Obviously, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I’ve lived in 7 states + the Caribbean in the last 25 years and SD is by FAR the most beautiful place I’ve ever lived and one of the best I’ve ever visited. Every city has it’s bad areas, but there’s a good reason those of us who do, pay the “sunshine tax” to live here.
