Hmmm....I wonder how the tom tom compares...? I had a Magellen before and that was okay....but it was starting to make a lot of mistakes....

 

Looks Great Sal

I found the factory nav to be very easy to use, I find myself using it more and I wish I had a nav in my other cars.

 

I totally need mine...I'm lost here in SoCal.
Plus, when i travel i take it with me....i'll never be without one again.....
I wonder how good the new iPhone one is...?

 

Wow that looks interesting! might have to try it out

 

Yeah, I'm on it too...was hoping someone would try it so i could get the intel on it....

 

Good news, I'm now working in Anaheim....i start monday. Lets hope i dont get fired for being too stupid right away. I'll be looking for an apartment or duplex or whatever somewhere between here and there so I am interested in peoples advise on a good town to live in.....I have to start looking and I have no idea whats what. Mission Viejo is nice but i have a bad feeling about the commute....

 

Hey Brian Steeda's got their own tensioner pulleys now.

Check out Los Alamitos, Rossmore and Seal Beach nice communities and affordable. The closer you get to the water the more $ it will cost you in most situations. I use to work in Los Alamitos it's your typical American town I'd avoid Hawaiian Gardens, Garden Grove too many "Hoe's" walking around

Jed knows what he's talking about

You missed out Jed! The OC fair was fun. It was my first time there.

 

The OC Fair is a good time it's a big event what was the beer garden like? Pict's? I'm sure Bill will post some later this morning. I think the car event Cruising for a Cure happens down there we should check it out.

Jed

 

Sounds good. Give me details

 

Congrats !!

Jed's right, Rossmore, Seal Beach, Los Al are great places. North of Anaheim is Brea, Fullerton, Yorba Linda, Placentia. Towards the south Costa Mesa and Newport Beach $$$$... Avoid if you can, Santa Ana, Garbage Grove, Stanton, Some of Orange...
I guess it depends on what part of Anaheim you'll be at. The drive from MV to Anaheim might be OK you'll be going in the opposite direction of the traffic. The 5 sucks around there unless you're carpooling.


GREAT Catch Leo. It looks a lot like the "Frakentensioner" that ST makes at about 100 bucks less. That might be on immediate list. I am entirely afraid to power shift at all due to the tensioner.

Los Al is a great place. My boss used to live there and we'd play raquetball at the rossmore fitness place. It's just up the street from Sunset Ford.... There used to be a place called Bayou St John's on Main in Seal Beach, man that was some good Cajun food. Was always too chicken to try the Alligator.... The blackened Prime Rib was outta-site ! Great times.



Nav stuff... Interesting to hear the problems with the factory nav. My buddy has nav in his Pontiac Vibe that works great as well as the nav that is in a friends Jeep Commander. Put together with George/Luis's feedback I assumed that the factory nav was just the way to go... guess it depends.



LEO

so I was thinking of getting a new football jersey...

I'm thinking of either a Vikings or Bears jersey

 

Congrats Sal!

 

Great, thanks for the info.

The place is just off the 5 and Magnolia....aditional suggestions are totally appreceated.

Okay, The great apartment search is on.

Oh BTW, Allegator tastes a lot like chicken.....and I didn't find it to be all that great....I'd rather have Chicken.

See pic below where Jed made a virtual cameo appearance with Luis and Brittany!



No 'Beer Garden' per say, but there were plenty of beer booths all over the place.

Traffic going to the fair was unfrigginbelievable. All the main gates for parking were closed!
We had to park at a High School 2 blocks from the event; at least it was free.

Once inside, all was cool. Met up with my niece Brittany, her b/f and lil' sis. Partied hard til we had to go at around 10:30.

just entering the 'green' gate


no we didn't

Looks like fun guys. Gotta love beer and funnel cake!

 

Man, Fullerton is right there.....what's Fullerton like?
The parts I've seen weren't all that great....

 

Great Pics Bill! Looked like alot of fun

 

I have noticed tons of new condos and apts near and around angel stadium

 

Your welcome.

Bill, non sports guys skip this post.

About that......Honestly because of the way the managements handled the whole Favre thing I kind of hope he does go to either of those teams. Preferably the Vikes and then kicks the Packers asses on MNF the first game of the season in Lambeau. Then to pour salt in the wound have Aaron Rodgers break his leg and be out the rest of the season.

Best case scenario for me though is for the GM to put his ego aside and let Favre come back and play for the Pack. Only person upset about the would be Aaron Rodgers but F-Him.
