Random Vehicles And Aircrafts In Your Area

There have been an increasing number of odd, nice, and scary vehicles in this part of California.

Some of it is probably a result of me being near a NASA research place and Moffet Field (military station).

Military planes, including B-52 bombers, various fighter jets, and WWII planes.

Military choppers, including Apaches, carriers, and these silent black ones (seen in The Island)

There are also a lot of upperclass and supercars in neighboring areas where most of the dot-coms like Google, Yahoo, etc. are.

Okay, so those are common, but lately I've been seeing a bunch of crazy ass cars, motorcycles, etc.

There have been legions of electric golf-carts and a LOT of people seem to be picking up a Lotus.

Other than those, there have been a variety of like, electric cars (Prius especially), including some bizarre models I've never seen until this past month.

Last, I saw the Wrightspeed X1 rolling down my street (faster then a Ferrari or Porsche)

What kinda stuff has been showing up or is normal in your area?

THIS TOPIC SUCKS, GO DIE!

Easy killer.

Pieo, most of us don't live in the high-class parts of our cities, we don't get a lot of those vehicles. I mostly get things like this going down my street.

Edit - Only with American plates.

just let me spend one day at my second job. ill show you PLENTY of interesting vehicles.

The point wasn't for "high class" cars, considering I was most excited about the more bizarre vehicles.

Hell, on Google campus there are tons of electric golf karts, scooters, and those 2-wheel balancing thingies.

Some people live near farms, rural areas, are in Iraq, etc. and I was interested in whats out there.

Where do you work, nick?

How much do you pay for rent dude? It can't be too cheap to live around all of those high class fuckers.

at Mid-South Metal Recycling, A.K.A a junk yard.

people bring in almost anything metal, and we buy it from them and resell it at a higher price.

we get tons of cracked out meth whores who bring in soda cans and beer cans, and stolen copper just so they can buy a rock. the vehicles these people show up in are fuggin shameful in how bad of shape they are in.

So true

Rent is actually increasing to like 1300, but I live here with 2 roommates.

All the "high-class" fuckers aren't in the same city as me, but close enough that I see them while traveling. That and I'm in business districts often for meetings and crap.

When I used to live in Milpitas, there were all sorts of weird truck 'clubs' that did street racing. It was also next to a train yard where I would go with friends to conceptualize artwork and drink / smoke out

how far u live from the OC?

About 5 hours or so. I'm about a half hour SE of San Francisco.

Good old 'Silicon Valley'. Many parts of this state are definitely expensive

your job is so metal.

We sold some copper the other day actually. A mate of mine installs split system air cons for a company and he has access to heaps of copper pipe (amongst other cool things like an endless supply of light tubes. This is because the company also make and install cool rooms and display fridges).

He just loads it into his van and we go sell the shit for $5 a kilo....great way to pay for pot and beer lol
