I grew up in a small town and continue to live in a small town, and in all honesty am quite scared of getting robbed every time I go into the city. That may sound paranoid but I personally know several people who have been robbed while in Sac and one friend of mine even witnessed somebody get shot over a pointless road rage incident (guy A got cut off, flipped the bird to the guy B who cut him off, guy B promptly stops and gets out of his car to shoot guy A, before making eye contact with my friend and then driving off... no idea how my friend lived through that one). Heck, my brother-in-law just went to a gas station off 80 on Norwood Ave over the weekend and while he was there the gas station got robbed and he heard like 6 gunshots, then saw the guys run out of the station brandishing their guns. He GTFO'd extra quick-like and says he heard a couple more shots as he was driving away.
Needless to say, I'm pretty scared of the city... whether for paranoid reasons or not. So despite my desire to hang out with all you guys, I'm not too sure how willing I am to take that risk.

Hes wanting to avoid trouble with cops. Basically saying no burnouts, revving your engine, splaying, or playing hella loud music.
In re: your concerns Elk Grove is not Sac. Sac itself has bad areas and good areas, but Elk Grove is a petty safe place overall. I can understand your fears as I may be a bit desensitized living in Stockton, but I hope you can make it out sometime.
