what Im lookin for is the following:

3) wheres the swap meets and hang out spots for people out there....

any additional information would be bad ass and greatly appreciated

 

These guys seem to know where all the cool cats are!!!!

Someone that wasnt a dick, nice for a change... however, all other comments were funny

 

long beach swapmeet and pomona swap meet google it for dir and dates

 

Cruise nights starting soon in Escondido (25 mi north), La Mesa (8 mi east) and El Cajon (12 miles east). BTW El Cajon is pronounced El Ka hone so you don't sound dumb when you ask somebody about it.

El Cajon, or El cajohn to those of us who do not ablo espanish, means "the box"
Pomona Swap meet is always a good place to go, show up early, real early.
The Twilight Cruise at the NHRA Museum in Pomona at the fairplex starts again next month. First Wed. of the month. Usually a nice little turnout. www.museum.nhra.com

 

sweet greatly appreciated guys and hope to see you all there ... my girl will be my tour guide so i will be with a filipino gal and probably my pit bull since Evol goes everywhere i go,... she was born in texas and aint never been to the beach but shes definately a bar dog and sweet as hell so hopefully meet some of you cats soon

 

Got a question for ya, have you checked with the hall cause their ain't much construction work out here. and most likely you will be on the bottom of the pile.

 

ya thats what they were telling me but construction should be picking up in the next month or so so in the mean time i can find something like 7-11 or something to pay the bills

 

WHAT IS UP WITH THIS THREAD? Sounds like the words to a "Beach Boys" song or something. Go west young man, it will be ok!!!

 

Pick up a Reader (they are free, don't let the locals charge ya!)
to get an idea of the local scene. The Bean Bandits are local, Over The Hill Gang, Prowlers, others too.

The car muesum in Balboa park is cool, there is a classic and exotic showroom in downtown, and the drive up the coast during summer must be done. Ferrari/Lambo dealer in La Jolla (la hoy-ya), lots of car cruises as mentioned, Kustom Kulture out in Santee.
Plenty of dive bars along the waterfront and along University Ave and El Cajon Blvd in ESD, but if you are in OB, you can crawl to a few without driving east of I-5. Barona for vintage drags.
Crower is in Chula Vista, Schnider is just north of Old Town, Lenco is out 94 before Lemon Grove, Lots of other fab and racing shops. There is a hot bed up along the 76 between O'side and Escondido, and out in east county. Try a trip out to Simpson's Nursery before it gets too hot.
For a musical bent, try the Adams Avenue Roots & Folk Festival. If it ever gets less loco down south of the border, you can run down to TJ and Rosarito Beach.

 

Somebody please give some details about the Kustom Kulture in Santee... I'm hoping to connect up with more rat rods, roadsters, and kustoms for car shows and photo shoots!

I am http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/ and there isn't enough kustoms getting ink or press here in San Diego.

Tomorrow (sun Mar 15) is the rod run of Dublin Mob http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/paddy-ride-09-in-san-diego-from-ob-to.html

you just missed Big 3

 

I'll be down at the Dublin Mob gig.

Kustom Kulture is not in Santee anymore. They knocked down the building, it's a grocery store now. KK is doing web and mail order from a wherehouse in La Mesa last I time I talked to them.

Every Thursday evening a bunch of guys get together at this Fosters.

Like the song says...New Yorks a lonely town ..when your the only surfer boy in town

 

Here in hollywood you can meet a lot of kool kats around santa monica and highland, and they for sure can talk hairstyles and 'car-date' stories all night long!

It's a great place to hang out if you don't have work in construction, too!



and for the love of Pete there are literally hundreds of unemployed 'construction laborers' outside of the home depot near me...the worst economy/housing starts/recession/home value decline/in decades and 50% school dropout rate

man you better consider a solid plan B for employment!!! Contractors will stab each other for work and you might even see the boss laying tile these days, to say construction is slow is a bit of an understantement

 

ya i have been told about that so im also looking into retail and convenience store type work... my girl works at Trader Joes for the last like 10 years so shes going to try to get me on with her company as well.... Ill work just about any job .... hell the way that I was raised was YOU MAKE WORK WHAT IT IS.... either you can have a blast while doing it or you can hate getting up every morning and going to that dead end job... hell you make it what it is.... I may go back and finish my degree in social work within college have maybe like a year left .... I am keeping alot of options open at the moment.... besides I have already been in the talks with Hardware stores out that way./......

hopefully Ill see and meet some of guys around at one of the events.... just listen for the accent lol... I dont think that i do but my girl says I have a country accent which should be interesting with me moving out there... besides SHES the one with the accent to me lol

 

Hey for what it's worth I will pay 7-11 wages to do some wrenching on a couple old cars got's lottsa car projects and some wood butchering projects as well
gimme a holler when ya get here. live in La Mesa now but lived in OB back in the early 80's

Dude, that's just flat out MEAN.

Too bad Benito's is gone--a "rolled taco" is the perfect snack down on that part of Santa Monica.

By the way, I work three blocks from there . . .

 

I don't know if I'd be able to find you just by listening for a guy with an accent. You better post a couple of pictures of your girlfriend.

LOL you knew the name of that place?!? I can't believe it closed! Luckily that donut shop on the corner is open for buisness 24/7!! And so are the customers!!!

Actually, I live close to there, sunset/fairfax.

Hmm within 3 blocks of that place, you could work in a bunch of different industries, some of them even legal!!!

 

Props. But the way things have been the last year or so, I think the tranny whores make more cash some weeks than I do . . . .

 

hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahhah

 

Thanks Joe!
