    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    I went to a party at Newport Beach CC the other night and was shocked to see zero Teslas in the parking lot - so different from my old club in San Jose. I freaked everyone out at the end of the night with Summon .

    I don’t think UCLA or Cal accept transfers into impacted majors

    New Detached Condos Coming Soon at Los Olivos

    What is the criteria for a HOPE scholarship? I have a buddy who was the Georgia STAR pupil in the late 70s from a small town his dad basically developed called Toccoa. I guess this was some kind of statewide academic recognition. He did a 5 year undergrad/MD at Emory on a full ride, maintaining...

    New Detached Condos Coming Soon at Los Olivos

    Your analogy is flawed in that GA Tech lets in 3.0 students whereas USC Marshall likely had a handful of 3.0 extreme DEI admits so the competition level at USC will be much higher and grading at USC is brutal.

    ICE or EV?

    Had my M3 Performance serviced today - tire rotation, cabin air filter etc. had a brake squeak after reversing however guidance was after “only” 52 K miles it was just dirt buildup on the Brembos - I was concerned about warped rotors. What performance car has brakes looking nearly new after 50K...

    President Trump

    The Dems are being hopelessly out maneuvered - who is their “Terminator”? Between Trump, Thune and Johnson leading the show it’s like a major league team playing a low A-ball team.

    President Trump

    Proper English = “caused an allergic reaction” I was blown away he didn’t apologize for his lie . I predict a MAGA boycott of all Disney entities that will flush him out.

    ICE or EV?

    I predicted this if you go back in the thread. EVs will bankrupt Porsche as there is no way they can ever compete in software and materials science with Tesla, which are the 2 IP vectors that matter for EVs. They should stick with ICE and hybrid like RACE...

    ICE or EV?

    As of Q2 2025, Tesla holds an 8.8% market share in the California car market, placing them third behind Toyota (17.3%) and Honda (11%). They’re responsible for a big dip in legacy luxury auto sales - the numbers prove it. Moreover the driving experience is insane and most people charge at home...

    Haas is tops for jobs - everyone recruits there and you’re adjacent to Silicon Valley

    Left Wing Violence

    We used to live not took far from there. The names are pure New England - a French Canadian killing an Italian . Anti semitism is a brain rotting virus prevalent among the young today.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    It’s from the Bay Area - just a lot of bread IMO. I still haven’t found anything that surpasses Jersey Mikes with the hot pepper spread - just like an east coast deli sandwich

    Emory University to become tuition-free for students whose families earn less than $200K annually.

    USC has always been about money, so no, but they also give out more aid than any school, especially merit based . Plus it’s way bigger than Emory - in fact they are the largest private employer in LA County Great news however for middle income families as Emory , Rice and Duke are the 3 best...

    The batteries have a 10 yr warranty and in CA there is zero range anxiety given there are Superchargers everywhere

    ICE or EV?

    Correct - the legacy US automakers will go bankrupt

    ICE or EV?

    I maintain my thesis that Tesla will eventually absorb all legacy domestic automakers - electrification is industry destiny and it’s all about software and materials science. Their moat and head start are intractable for the rest of the industry. European automakers are in an even worse...

    Johns Creek ranks #1 Best Place to Live by U.S. News & World Report

    Pretty interesting list. Weather doesn’t seem to factor in at all. Also bizarre the only CA listing is Bay Area (both SF and SJC) with the highest avg income and median sale price in the country compared to San Diego with much lower housing cost and great weather. Also interesting that Naples...

    The Asian Population in Irvine in Percentage wise Peaked at 45.6% and then stayed stagnant for the last 15 years. Why?

    Los Al is nice, kind of Mayberry-ish with the best seafood restaurant in the County (Los Al Fish Co). I would choose Rossmoor over most of OC, and so close to so many beaches
