Dang all that for 250K and under! Can't find a deal like that in San Diego's housing market, but prices are a lot better now compared to a few years ago.

Also, I forgot to mention traditional tourist spots like Old Town, Balboa Park, and San Diego Zoo, in the email I sent to you.

Go Chargers!

lol for 250k, you can buy a secluded mansion with a ranch and a butler in Arizona.

but in SD, you're lucky to get a small house in a not so shady neighborhood.

There are ALOT of houses in Temecula right now in that $250k price range 4-6 bedrooms. If you compare Sac to SF and Temecula to SD. Temecula is about an hour away from SD while Sac to SF is an hour and a half

True. And both places are hot in the summer.

One of my buddies in San Fran is renting a room out for $800 a month in his 2 bedroom apt.

Seeing as to how he (his wife) is considering the beach ALOT, I doubt they want to move from the same city but just from Norcal to Socal

Sun Diego CL-S

bud760

then the 600k minimum applies if he wants to be near the water

TSXy Luster

obviously

I pay $400 a month to live a block from the beach, life is tough .

I'm looking to move out soon .. definitely going to feel the heat when I'm paying around $700 - $800 for a comfortable place to live.

I'm thinking of going further down south and closer to downtown, only young once right?

What do you guys do to protect your car from seawater/salt air?

KN.TL06

Whale semen

TSXy Luster

oh thanks! because I've just been using breast milk up until now. You're a life saver KN.TL06!

KN.TL06

Haha I'm so glad I told you because breast milk really kills your clear coat but whale semen, that stuff gives extra your ride extra sheen

AcuraIntegTL

This conversation is hilarious! I recall being offered a protective under coating when I purchased my 4runner about 6 years ago and decided I didn't need it. The under carriage of my 4runner is stil in great shape, and I've taken it everywhere. That being said, I do not think any additional protection is needed, but you can always contact an acura dealership to see what they can offer you, so you can sleep better at night. Or I think it's whale watching season, so you can always try for KN.TL06 application.Ha.

^ I think the undercoating is only necessary when you're daily driving something back east where it snows like crazy, the road salts really take a toll on *anything* metal.

<3 Socal.

TSXy Luster

what about seawater airsalt? I know my 13 year old car's roof is looking like skin disease due to my old place being near the pacific and parking there daily

AcuraIntegTL

Do you have some pictures of the old car's roof? My mom's Dodge Caravan, which she had for 10+ years, had some clear coat paint issues on the roof and hood. When we asked dealership about why the clear coat was pealing like a skin rash, they told us it was the cheap wax that is applied in certain car wash facilities. Not sure if this is just their BS. I've lived in SD most of my life, I think as long as you properly wax your cars, and try to keep them garaged to limit exposure you should be fine. My .

TSXy Luster

Sorry, no pics of said roof.

I do regular washes and detailing, but just not sure if I should be washing the car everytime I return from the beach.....or if that was just overkill to do so.

AcuraIntegTL

I wouldn't recommend you doing a full wash and wax everytime you get back from the beach, but definitly rinse and wash if you you get salt water on your cars. However, I highly doubt this will ever happen since they don't allow vehicles to drive up onto the beaches here in SD. That's not to say it can't be done in a 4x4 to drop off some pallets for a good old bonfire. I can only see your cars being exposed to high amounts of seasalt during major storms, and luckly that's rare in Sunny San Diego .

TSXy Luster

well, I know parking long term near the ocean will cause some problems to an unprotected roof, but I don't live or go the beach that often to see a problem.

TylerT

+1 on keeping your car properly waxed.

My car came from the east coast with a couple spots on the clear coat. The damage has not spread in the 2 years I've lived on the coast and I wash my car probably once or twice a month.

Wax is key!

Sun Diego CL-S

My shit needs new paint for sho. The clear coat is failing quickly on the roof.

roca619

I know a place in nasty city that does paint jobs at a fair price if you buy your own paint it's even cheaper. It's near the mile of cars if your intrested lemme know ill shoot you the number

Sun Diego CL-S

Right on, I appreciate you looking out. I'll hit you up for the number when I'm ready.

GOOD or BAD DAY

Went to the alignment shop to get my camber kit installed and recheck alignment. Yes, the install I could have done myself, but no time and I don't want to wear the tires driving to the shop. Camber is all set

Technician went to test drive and brought my TL back with two curbed rims, and one tire with a chuck ripped half way off.

Shop manager is a straight up dude and is going to pay for two new rims. XXR 527s are on a 60 day back log.

My new headlights from JnC came in and I got them installed. Took me three hours, which I thought was going to take me longer. I'll take some pics when the weather is better. Overall I guess it was a pretty good day.

TSXy Luster

whoa................ how'd he manage to do that on a test drive lol!

KN.TL06

jeeze that tech shouldn't be doing the test drives in that case haha. but good to hear that the owners taking care of it, what are you doing with your old headlights?

AcuraIntegTL

He told us that he normally takes a wide turn on one of his routes, but ended up miscalculating the turn due to traffic.

I have to send them to JnC. He uses a core replacement program, so buyers can still use their cars while he works on their custom headlights. Plus a deposit of course.

Sun Diego CL-S

KN.TL06

Yeah lmao I realized that after I posted it, I'm looking for an extra pair so I can do some of my own modding

Sun Diego CL-S

Finally clean. She's still got it.



They both give me pleasure.

TSXy Luster

clean car! lights look foggy though.

Sun Diego CL-S

Yeah, it's always done that shit. Whatevs.

bud760
