vengeful Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey Dean, funny story. I just registered on another forum, ExpeditionPortal.com, and there's a guy over there who works with you. Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganAve Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 So, I was looking for housing in inner sunset this weekend and parking and housing are just insane there. So I am looking at Daly City now. Problem is the work garage is only 6'7" and I'm pretty sure my height is 6'8". I might end up getting something like a 99 or 00 Miata for commuting and relieving the QX4 of daily driving duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Your pocketbook will appreciate it too. Gas out here is around $3.25-$3.40 for 87 octane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganAve Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yup, the miata would give 25-30 mpg. Supposedly adding the CARB superchargers doesn't affect the gas mileage much either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hmm. I just stumbled upon this thread. San Jose is my place of residence. Frank Raines and Hollister used to be my playgrounds, but I've been to those places too many times now, and it's just not fun anymore (or maybe I'm just getting old!) Now, I prefer to play east of gold country after the white stuff melts. That's where the REAL adventure is, baby! :o are you KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEE???? you are in san ho? well sheeeeet. enjoi408 lives there too. he just came to FR with me, and yeah, i knwo what oyu mean about going somewhere so much.... so. what places do you adventure to now? maybe 1 day i can tag along? sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPLORx4 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) so. what places do you adventure to now? maybe 1 day i can tag along? sly Like I said, my "stomping ground" now tends to be in the Sierras during the summer. Slow, rock-crawling sorta stuff. Last time I went to Frank Raines (back before it was closed due to the fire), I drove the [then-dry] riverbed. Slick Rock, Sourgrass, Deer Valley, Niagara Rim...

Enjoi408 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Im gonna conquer the Rubicon Trails one day....one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Some of the trails I mentioned above are like "beginner's versions" of the Rubicon. They're easy enough for a total newbie to attempt with a stock vehicle, but challenging enough to give you some good experience at rockcrawling.
