Sacramento California bound

So I have a couple months of Army training in Sacramento starting middle of May. What do I do in my time off around there? I want to drive down to Muroc for sure, but where is a Suede to go to get his car fix? Help me brothers. I just want to see all the great car sights and places that I have been reading about my whole life. So many places, so little time. What are my priorities? Thanks guys.

 

the poor boys show is the best in sacramento, and i think that's in July. Hopefully you'll still be around.

 

Muroc is OK but the Air Force won't let you do much there. If you can hit El Mirage on May 17 or June 22 that might be better. For cars and stuff.

 

Well, if you want to be like the locals, a lot of Meth and get some 15 year old pregnant. The quintessential central valley experience.

 

OZ Customs is a couple of hours North of there. Oroville.

 

Midnight Mass is July 26th(the poor Boys show) at Cal Expo this year.

These are farther (2-2 1/2 hour drive) and are good shows if you can make it.
Blue Jean Bop at the Saddle Rack in Fremont May 18th.
the Last Originals Show June 18th at Sea Bowl in Pacifica(Across the street from the Beach)
The Strangers Annual BBQ July 13th at Kelley Park in San Jose.

 

Oh man that was just plain wrong! ha ha ha

 

You lucky dog! In June is the American Graffiti round up in Modesto and Sadona. I would love to come out there just for that. Maybe next year .. !!

 

Midnight Mass! Get ready for the heat for sure. Theres a cool Ford museum downtown (I think i haven't been there in a while) Sacramento Vintage Ford and Squeeze Ins for an awesome burger! Hope you live on base if not find a place with a garage.

 

general things you need to do...

Go to Tahoe
Go to Yosemite
Go to Napa/Sonoma Valleys
Go to San Fran
The Railroad Museum in Old Sac is WAY cool
The Towe Auto Museum is as well http://www.toweautomuseum.org/
The Jazz Festival is worth checking out. The Friday Night Zydeco Party RULES!!!
Midnight Mass for SURE
Sacramento Vintage Ford is good for an hour or so of walking around in, they also have once a month friday night cruise nights.

the BlackHawk Museum is about 1.5 hours away in the Bay Area. WELL worth the trip.

 

summer in sac? it's hot as hell and that's not just an expression, it's literally hot as hell. As an added bonus, you're right close to some serious Deliverance Country. Do your stint and get the hell out. California sucks and I can't wait for it to drop into the ocean and take all the socialist commies with it.

 

DELIVERANCE HUH?ARENT YOU THE GUY IN THE VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER???I THINK YOUR TRUE TO YOUR NAME MAN STAY OUTTA CALI IN YOUR VAN.

 

Man Tony I agree with ya.

I have lived in this area for 20 years and wouldn't trade it for nothing!

Summers aren't that hot!

And I agree with what Choptop said, those are all cool things to do!

 

no one wants to admit that they live in crap. it's ok, I understand, I have relatives that live there.

 

Thanks Brent!!and Hey Racerjohnson,if You Like Music The Downtown Scene Is Pretty Good Depending On What You Are Into.check Out Old Ironsides(my Personal Favorite)or The Blue Lamp You May Not See Alot Of Cars But You Will Still Have A Good Time.pick Up A Sac News And Review They Are Free And Freakin Everywhere!

 

COME ON DUDE,LETS GET BACK TO THE POINT OF THE POST.YOUR NOT FUNNY ANYWAY.

 

Hell, I could do that here!

Sounds like a good area for music. I'm down for all of that. I like about anything. Thanks!

 

Can't be any hotter than Iraq. More humid maybe. I was in cali during october to pick up my chevelle and that was beautiful.

You sound angry.

Thanks Choptop, thats what I'm looking for! As for all the military areas, we'll see where I can get into.

 

I dunno, I've never been to Iraq.

 

I understand why your RETARDED..

Hello..Your welcome to stop by and visit me..
Duane.

 

what makes it such crap?

we have temperate weather year round, but yet get a good change of seasons. Its gets just as hot in So.Cal. but it doesnt get as cold down there. No Winter. Plus you dont live near as many cool things down there. It stays cooler north of here, but it rains all the friggin time. The weather is about right.

it gets over 100 degrees about 5-6 days each summer. Thats it. Otherwise its in the 90's, with little no humidity. Just like L.A. without the smog. The Delta breeze kicks in every night at about 7:30pm and drops the temp about 10 degrees. Nice.

The coldest I've ever seen it in winter was a few years back when it hit 18 degrees. Thats it. Normally it stays right at 32 degrees at night, high 30's-40s during the day. It can be foggy in the valley for about 2-3 weeks out of the year.

Sac is close to lots of cool places, yet you dont have to put up with living in those places. San Fran is great, cept for the traffic and cost of living. In 1.5 hours you can be there and come home at night. Tahoe is stunning, yet the snow in winter can be a hassle to live in and the cost is out of sight. Same time frame for a visit. Great day trips in any direction, but yet none of the hassles of living in a tourist area.

we are .5 hours from good foothill roads for riding/driving. There are hundreds of miles of waterways for skiing and fishing. 2 rivers in town, large lakes all around. There is good hunting very close-by. There are great car clubs and auto happenings in the area. We are within 3 hours drive of 3 world class race tracks.

sounds pretty shitty to me.

personally i like it, and I've lived all over the country. Others dont, they are welcome to live someplace else.

 

you're right, it doesn't sound shitty. it sounds gay.

 

thanks, drive through.

typically insults arent tolerated on this board. Enjoy yer time here until you are banned.

 

I'm sorry, I don't want to be banned. please don't get me banned. I'll play nice from now on.

 

I think it might be a little too late for you NEWBIE! The sad thing is you don't even know who Choptop is, obviously or you'd have a little more RESPECT!!

P.s Johnson if you come to Napa/Sonoma pm me I'd be happy to show ya around maybe even get ya a tat or two.

 

Wow. lol.

Personally, I think it's great when people talk shit about California. We have got too many damn transplants here anyway.

Let's make sure to fall off into the Ocean w/ our economy and see how the rest of the country survives

 

you'll also be out here for Santa Maria (old Paso)

WELL worth the trip.

 

is there a hierarchy here? I didn't realize that. I don't want to offend the wrong people. sorry choppy

 

This is getting retarded. Why is this guy so bent on pissing everybody off?

I appreciate everybody's invitations and positive input. The deal is I'll be here without my wife, so I won't get unadulterated car time in Cali like this again, ya know? Just want to experience the scene.

Why is retarded still here? Ryan?
