Guest ON3GO Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Hey guys, Ive been doing alot of thinking and i might be going to a VW/Audi program in Cali. I'll be there for school for about 4 months and then i can get put in a dealership anywhere i want. But i was thinking instead of going back to florida right away i would stay in cali for abit, like untill my contract ends with the dealership. I would be in Cuckamonda or whatever its called and spelled.. nice place? any Z guys there? you near there Timmy Boy?? lol.. i would bring both my Z's there, blue to drive everyday, green to race. so do you think its a good idea? is it a nice place to live? to work at?

Tim240z Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Rancho Cucamonga? IT's in the low desert, just below the grade heading up to the high desert....hot as hell out there.....about and hour east of the coast (with no traffic that is).... I guess the saying is true.....the continent is tipped to the left and all the screwballs end up in CA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bastaad525 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Been out there before... I dont envy you if you go there. Then again, I feel sorry for anyone who ends up in our state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid240z Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I'm about 30-40 minutes away. That area has been built up alot the past decade or so. It's not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Rancho Cucamonga is a nice built up commercial area now! You are right in the middle between LA and the Inland Empire. I go out there all the time, so we will finally meet! You can also bring yourself down here for our monthly meets, boyyyyyyyyyyyy. If you end up over here, ill make the commute to meet you! 8) Take the negative things people say about California and shove them in your back pocket. Im happy here, the only people who arent are the ones with no $ or just complain about everything and a half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bastaad525 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 First off, I didn't say Rancho was a bad place... It's very NEW now and that's good, I just wouldn't envy him for the heat out there... 100+ days and a lot of them. It's middle of the desert and it feels like it. Secondly, I'm not exactly broke.... and that's not why I say CA sux. It's because 90% of the people here suck, and personally I dont like 100+ degree days which we get a lot of in the summer. But mostly, it's the people. I think most people that have lived here their whole lives just dont notice because they're used to it, but for people who have lived in other states/countries, or even visited... it becomes very apparent just how screwed most of the people here are. I think we were rated one of the top 3 most dangerous places to live in the USA, among I believe it was Manhattan and somewhere in Florida. Everyones rude, everyones in a rush, and everyone is on the edge here. Lived here most of my life, and can't wait to get out. All the screwballs DO end up here. Well I'll narrow down my field a bit... I'm speaking mostly of Los Angeles-and-the-surrounding-areas.... I know up north it gets nicer, both weather and people, and also down south, like San Diego south, is nice... I love going down there several times a year for 'mini-vacations'. Anyways one thing I'm going to guess about Rancho, if it's at all like Palmdale (another huge flat patch of desert that has lately been getting very built and very populated) you can get nice housing there for cheap (cheap relative to living in L.A.). In Palmdale I've seen new 3-4 bedroom houses going for as cheap as a 2 bedroom condo in L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZROSSA Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Coming from a country boy in New Zealand..... I thought southern cal. was pretty cool. All those place you see in the movies and read about in mags. The traffic was an eye opener. I coudnt put up with it. Would have to get a gun and start shooting people. When you got out of the city a bit, the canyons and mountains were way cool. Good driving and not any interference from the law that I could see. Had to laugh a bit though. I rented a auto neon POS, and was blowning away big bikes in the twisties with my daughter in the back asleep. A few of these fellas need to learn a thing or two about corner speed. English did seem like a secound language at time but coming from Florida, I guess you might be used to that Mike. Cheers Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 A few of my FAIRFIELD CA. observations...... Lived and worked in the CHICAGO,IL. area from 1966 to 1984. There's nothing like changing a tire with no gloves at -20 degrees and a wind chill of -100, speeding ticket for 2 miles over the limit on I-80 from the IL. ST. POLICE, and sleeping over night at work because all the roads were closed from 5 feet snow drifts and this was in the city. Although I know it's just stuff but searching for household goods and mementoes after a tornado went thru is not my idea of fun. I've lived in FAIRFIELD since 1984 and let's see..... a few hours from the ocean, NAPA VALLEY, LAKE TAHOE, S.F. BAY area, and great weather for just a few things that make me say "I'd never go back!" But then that's just my opinion!!! LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
