CA Santa Barbara

Right now I am in Texas near Dallas and I found out that I am going to be going to Santa Barbara soon so I was wondering how the 8 scene is out there or if I will have to go to LA for any meets.

Well I'm looking forward to seeing all of you guys. It won't be a problem for me going out to LA because I'm originally from the area. I just wanted to know what the 8 seen is like out in that area because I've been gone for 3 years.

That sounds like isla vista which is part of goleta where UCSB is located but not actually Santa Barbara. If you live in a part of town that isnt 99% college kids your car should be just fine. I lived up there for 6 years and the only time my car was ever damaged while being parked was while I was visiting isla vista, its nuts to park any car you care about on those streets.

Yea...that's where my sister go to school
And the place she live is just 2 blocks away from school...
I see... different streets, my sister told me that one time she saw all the cars on 1 street, the side mirrors are all broken =__= sounds scary
she parked in the parking lot of the apartment, but still.....too many party students there, crazy kids

Thanks for the heads up. The good thing is that I won't be anywhere near Isla Vista so i should be straight. I am looking for a garage though.
