Default whats up west side

Hey guys and gals new to the forum thought I would say hey to my fellow west siders. I am in Mission Viejo,CA which is just south of Irvine. I am in the process of looking for a clean SS camaro. So is there a good place for cruises and what not on the west coast?

Hey man, Mission Viejo is not a bad place to be. Check out Santiago/Trabuco canyon (near you), along with PCH from Laguna to Seal Beach.
Hope your F-body hunt goes well.

welcome to the boards. When i was in search of a camaro (l lived in aliso viejo at the time) i went onto the webpage of every chevy dealer in so cal, looking through their used car inventory. usually id call and theyd say it was sold already. i just kept trying and eventually i found a good on.

ill keep my eyes peeled for one. the dealers near where i live sometimes get in some nice cars, but they tend to be pricey.

price isnt really an issue due to my settlement amount but I would like to keep it under 15k 10k if possible so I can do some mods to it right away.

well it's a long story but basically I was coming around a blind corner on my bike and at the last second saw a unmarked undercover cop pull out right in front of me trying to make a left hand turn. I ******* paniced and locked up the brakes and slid sideways into the side of his car at like 45mph. my left leg took most of the blow along with my spleen (which bleed internally and had to be removed) and my left arm got ripped to **** from the side window. I can walk and **** now but I can't run, jump, kick someone, some exercises hurt bad, but other than that I am ok. Not having a speel anymore isnt that big of a deal I am lucky I have a good immune system already so losing the spleen hasn't done much. any more questions?
