8 Mile area is a good bet. Spanos Park or the area off Davis Rd and Thorton Rd are good areas. Also the Oxford Circle/Tuxedo area directly south of UOP is really nice

Welcome, I have a guy in napa who installed my tint and did an excellent job at a great price, however that may be a little to far for you.*

I'll be at the autocross in Stockton on Saturday morning. The event is held at the SanJuaquin Fairgrounds. I will run with the second group, come on out if you have the time.

Thanks for the advice! I drove around Morada off the 99 and it seemed like a nice area. I'm going to take you up on your offer, thanks @jher

I was researching and a lot of people mentioned Lodi. I didn't get to drive up there on my visit. I'll have to look up 8 Mile.

Wow, so informative. I will add all of these on my list, thanks @finch1750

I had my tint done at Ron's in Lodi- $145 for the rear 3 windows, great guys. Apparently they tint all of Geweke's Toyotas, so they were familiar with the cars.

Best place to live in Stockton? Umm.... It's not the best town, IMO. Live outside of Stockton and commute in.

No problem man. In terms of Morada it can be nice, but if your in the area west of the freeway in the model homes it could be a bit ghetto as foreclosures were super high in those areas. Haven't been to that on in particular in a while, but my GF lives in another area similar that got not so nice very quickly. The area east of the freeway is pretty expensive but very nice though.

Are you meeting up with Eric (mkiisupra) for autoX? I'm thinking about going but the wife may have other plans.

Yeah, hopefully get some tips too.

Anyone here have a black FRS that lives by Rio? Spotted one this afternoon, tried to wave but don't think you were looking.

I might go to this one if I'm not doing nothing.

Just throwing it out there, in case you were bored and wanted something to do.... LOL

Thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna try to go this Friday night....
