for hacienda, it depends on how many cars you are talking about.
that huge stoneridge meet a few months ago that got barricaded, lots of groups all went to lots of different locations since it was massive chaos.
one location that got re-posted was hacienda. dublin PD arrived and booted them out. then some went to the business parking lots down the street since it was off hours, and were there like 15 minutes.

so yeah, it really depends on how big of a group you are talking about, because you gotta keep in mind, there are loitering laws and whatnot hehe the more "stupid" meets that keep popping up, the more it pisses off the cops and they will gladly break them up

Umigo stepped up tho and posted to invite people to go there. i'm not sure how many cars went, maybe 30+? it was hella cool of them to do that

I need the collective help of AZ. I just moved back to the bay area, specifically
Walnut Creek. I have also lost the access to my usual garage where I would work on my car with an awesome set of air/powertools. I need to find a good shop with an alignment rack that has experience in working with lowered cars.

Anyone have any good suggestions ? I appreciate it!

Next time you're in San Jose area, look up Tire Outlet off Alum Rock and Jackson. They have their machine in-ground, so that you can be as slammed as you wanna be, you can still get your car's suspension aligned. Ask for Joseph (owner), and if he isn't available, see Mike or Carlos. Just tell 'em I referred you....hook up price for alignment s/b no more than $75-80.

I know that TL! I saw it at a meet and me being the only Acura guy out of my friends, I freaked out about it. Sick car. I was wondering who owned it. If you remember this meet, I was a part of the 9 people in the two seater Red 300zx in the limbo contest and in the 27 people in the white topless 240.

Anyways, I second a Umigo meet.

Hello All,

Newb to the thread and forum. I am considering picking up a TSX Wagon in the next few weeks. I was wondering if I could get recommendations for shops around the Peninsula to take the car to for tint, rims, and to drop it. I could probably go to South Bay if necessary, but would prefer to stay in the Peninsula area.

Thanks ahead of time!

Dk
