Hello all, Mike here in San Jose, Ca. Currently own a 2022 Maza3 Turbo that I purchased in January of 2023. Car is completely stock except for the hitch and Küat bike rack that I had installed. This was my first new car purchase in nearly 19 years. My last new purchase was a 2005 Mazda6 from the same dealer in Modesto. Anyway, a few pics

haha I was wondering if anyone would know this area. I'm assuming the board has members from all over the world so not sure how many right here in California, let alone the Bay Area. I've only eaten at Alice's once and that was back in March of 2020 right when SIP was taking off. They were still open for indoor dining at the time. I think San Mateo County might have closed down a little later than Santa Clara. Have driven Skyline and 84 a number of times and I look forward to riding them someday with a motorcycle.
Oh yeah, and the snow picture is I want to say the top of Sonora Pass (Highway 108) at around 9,600' in May of last year.

Are you still in the Bay Area or California? Thanks for the welcome!

I am at the bottom of the Sierra Mountain close to Grass Valley . Lots of great on and off road riding and driving everywhere around this area.

I've heard of Grass Valley but couldn't point it out on a map. I'll have to check it out on Google maps. As for your car, unfortunately only one of the pictures loaded. My connection isn't real good right now so I'll have to come back and check out the rest of them.
And checking out GV on the map, I can see you're a good ways North of Sonora. I'm going to have to get out and explore this great state more than I have been. I've had my Mazda for a little over two years now and I've still got less than 16,600 miles on it. Considering I do like going or drives so much, that's shockingly low. In regards to exploring California, I haven't even been to SoCal in over 20 years
