Recession indicator when the pool guy is driving a $120k truck? Lol

View attachment 1419538

With ca fuel prices he maybe onto something. Ev as much as I don’t care for do great for around town driving or short runs though.

I see the cars going from Phx to oc often at times they come flying past me but all
Gotta stop in quartzite to recharge. Tesla has a big station there

I agree! If I had solar and didn’t have to drive to San Diego and back once a week I would have considered electric. But my 3l diesel 1500 truck that drives itself and gets 26-30mpg gets the job done and it will go 600 miles on a tank.

Woke up this morning to the tailgate stolen off my truck…

At least it’s only in the 80s today

SOB….. that sucks. Consider the cost part of your weather tax. It’s a write off, right?

Dam that sucks! I always had a hose clamp on the hinge so it was harder to steal. Without that you could grab a tailgate with no tools in 10 seconds.

Company truck….lol

Contemplating sending the bill to our city attorney and Gascon…and taking one or both to small claims court if they don’t pay within 30 days. I’ve got time….

 

[attitude]

Company truck….lol

Didn’t lock your tailgate? Thats a write up lol!

I got rear ended in my company truck and they never replaced the tailgate. A few months later my truck was transferred to someone else and they got the tailgate stollen. I bet that tweaker was pissed when he saw it in the daylight lol.

Hey, at least they left the rest of the truck.

 

[lbhsbz]

I wish they'd taken the whole fucking thing....but alas, it has a clutch pedal....so that probably wasn't gonna happen.

 

[Boatymcboatface]

Still have my tailgate for now.

Tailgate thefts behind the gates probably don’t happen much.

Been here 62 years, I've seen other states and spent time in some. But following Dave across the country to LOTO do you guys really believe the rest of the country is any better???

I live on N. OC. I generally I don't agree with my politicians but I can normally park my shit without the fear of it leaving my possession.

That sounded like the shadiest trip I've ever heard. Are we being trolled??

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Great evening in Socal.. Perfect weather...

 

[Chili Palmer]

Earlier in the week it was hot as balls in Lancaster, now we’re in a cooling trend, it’s been down a few degrees from 100, yesterday it was 96, a welcome change. It’s even better since my construction trailer now has power and I can run the A/C.

 

[JL95]

Orange county has a lot of you guys jaded lol. Come over the hill into peasant country and you will see how shitty it all is

LOL, are you seriously judging the entire rest of the country by the I-40 corridor in New Mexico? Yep. It's definitely proof the rest of the country sux as bad as CA.

It was so nice today. Drove to Malibu and had lunch at The Sunset. Just perfect. Nice breeze and 75 and clear.

Really awesome car show today in Dana Point. Camaro with a full carbon fiber body. Not paint or a wrap. Crazy.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Love playing outdoor concerts, this one was last night in Ventura.. Sold out show

[shintoooo]

Went to Venice Beach today. Walked the boardwalk and it’s the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Probably because it’s an election year so it will go to shit again probably soon thereafter. Hopefully not. It was a nice day. Some cars on display.

And any outboards we want on any lakes we want.

That’s badass. Anything like that near Carlsbad? I miss the track there. That was a HUGE loss for SoCal’s motoring heritage.

You're ahead of the curve...most do it when they retire. CA retirement funds are what built all the high end homes around here!

Pretty nice day at the beach. I wonder what this baby is going for…

I don’t get one of those fat CA state retirements when I retire. So I took steps to make sure I’m not paying for someone else to retire young and rich, while I keep working to pay for it. But I still have two homes in SoCal.

I'll work till I die, but it's a pretty good life. Left Cali and all I ever knew in 2012...second best decision I've made, first being who I married.

I dunno mate. those kind of ocean boats seem like they would be much more fun in Miami or some place where the water is turquoise and warm. not so much SoCal, where it's cold and windy and rough. I must say that I do see way more of those types of boats in SoFla, than SoCal. which should surprise no-one.

Maybe. I’ve never been to FL. I think I’d be OK going for a cruise at 74 and sunny in late Oct and not dealing with hurricanes, but that’s just me.

I was at the Sheraton harbor island all day today, well until 3;30pm. It was cool, windy and cloudy. sun just began to peek out at about 2;30. just. and only in some areas. it was still mostly cloudy. socal is the land of outdoor gas heaters and clear glass wind breaks on ocean facing balconies. windbreakers and sweaters when you are near the water. it's ok. but let's not pretend it's tropical. what did I do at 330pm... I flew a plane from San Diego to Honolulu. where it actually is tropical. it was full. every seat. not surprised. sometimes people need a break and want something warm and balmy near the water.

look mate, SoCal has plenty going for it. it's a great place for dry land activities like motocross and skateboarding. but warm water and balmy tropical climate is most definitely NOT one of them. which is why SoCal people flock to Hawai'i. and to be honest, why we also flock to the warm waters of the desert lakes and river to do our boating. it's certainly why I do.

sorry for the late night posting...I'm on my layover in... you guessed it ...Hawai'i.

SoCal isn't usually cold, windy, and cloudy. Yesterday was a weird day. It was 80 and sunny all weekend.

I have a friend and money isn't an issue. He had a beautiful place in socal and another beautiful one at the river. He sold the river house and SoCal house and bought $25 million dollar place in corona del mar on the water with a dock. Has a sport fisher and his kids surf almost eveyday.

They don't miss the river.
To each their own.

Friend of mine moved to Florida recently. He was in San Clemente before likes the beach as do his kids. Just wanted out of ca and gave Florida a try.

So far they love it. Bought a cabin cruiser and they head out offshore to boat and float. The last hurricane went north of them.

lol Hawaii is kind of wack to be honest. I would take tronconnes over Hawaii any day. There’s a ton more places to go and check out. My mom worked in Hawaii so we’ve been plenty. Waikiki is just like downtown La I wouldn’t be bragging about Honolulu
