Default So Cal

i was in san diego last weekend and other than it was freakin beautiful and i saw quite a few hotties i didn't see many f-bodies or really any muscle cars like i do here in nor-cal. is so cal just not as popular with muscle cars like it is up here? i plan to be down in the la mesa area end of the month and now am concerned about gettin a ticket because i didn't hear 1 loud car in the 4 days i was there lol i was even surprised i didn't see more than 2 mustangs in 1 day.

I live in L.A. but I also was in San Diego this past weekend and thought the same ****. There wasn't a f-body around at all. not even a V6. I was wondering about that. Then I just thought that maybe S.D. wasn't as big on muscle as I heard.

I live in SD and I usually see 3 or 4 F-bodies in the 10-mile trip to work. I see more mustangs than that. Must've just been a slow weekend.

Yea my parent just moved to Lodi and say they see hot rods and muscle cars all the time up there...but the laws are alot more enforced, for example I run LTs a cam and no cats and never been pulled over in the few months ive had it done. We put a magnflow exhaust on my moms SS and she got pulled over within 2 days of being up there and the cop checked under teh hood for mods.

Are you serious? what a dick. My mom has driven my car past a cop. He noticed and drove behind her for a while (probly running the plates) but then just drove past her.

I beg to differ.... unless you're talking about import car shows..... Import racing has pretty much DIED in norcal. thank god.....

as big as socal is we hardly ever get people wanting to drag their stuff out to Norcal to race....

We have ricers around here. That why there arent too many muscle guys. That and gas is getting expensive....even tho it just went down a lot recently.

haha i lived in San Diego the past 4 years and there are plenty of F-bodys. they just know all the cool places to hangout (PB, MB, Gaslamp, Carlsbad etc). there was a growing number of F-body's on Miramar when i left.

I saw topfig's car on base a few times, man i wish it was mine.
