Congrats on your move and welcome to NorCal (Cupertino). Before you know it, you'll have plenty of ops to meet folks (up to 3 meets a week within an 1hr's drive) and plenty enough of shops/tuners that you start playing favorites. But don't, they all are competent to get the job done. Cupertino's in the neighborhood of the Wed evening meet/dinner.

There's apparently quite a few canucks working in my department, that will be cool Quote:
I will check out Speed Element, and hopefully when things settle in a week or two come out and join the meets. Thanks for the help Quote:

As far as installing parts, I've always had the luxury of having my own house and garage to install things in, but I don't think I will be so fortunate when renting down here so I will check out Wiebtech, thanks for the tip. Thanks! I'll be working for the iPhone team doing mechanical design, looking forward to the challenge Quote:

Haha, didn't know what boba was, I had to google it. We call it Bubble Tea here, but maybe theres a difference between the two. I will check them out thanks for the recommendations. And mmmm Korean BBQ sounds delish. Quote:
Thanks again everyone, looking forward to meeting some of you when I get there |

So, do you want crazy rent and home prices or do you want crazy traffic commutes? For my sanity, I chose the former.

It's close to many things like mentioned before and commute is not to bad ! Downsides are that you usually leave Santa Clara to do stuff in the evening (few things to do once you have done majority of what's there) but I don't mind since that gives reason to explore ! Boba , bubble tea , all the same ! And you definitely must go to a few Sharks games ! Go Sharks !! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Vishnu Tuning is in the east bay, not SF. Not a big difference relatively speaking, though. Welcome to the area. If you have kids and need tutoring, I'm your man.

~Welcome to the Bay and enjoy your stay! Remember to incorporate "hella" into your lexicon, it'll allow you to blend in with other "Bay Destrians" haha.
