Ah! My sister's neighbor got a Veyron!

My sister lives near downtown SJ, near 13th and Margaret. She's in an upper scale neighborhood, but a VEYRON!? Now I have to look at it every time Im there and drool and wish it was mine.

It's a funky custom color that I cant even desribe to your... like brown and neon green were mixed or something.



Me = Jealous



Imagine if you had a friggin VEYRON!? You can even drive it on CA streets without worrying about ripping the underside to bloody hell! It is seriously the perfect car.

ok...if youre living in San Jose and you buy a Veyron...something's wrong some people just like the urban cramped lifestyle i guess.
why not stretch out in Portola Valley and be 1 minute from the Autobahn aka peninsula 280! The car cries at night for now.

Her area is one of the nicest areas in SJ, its the Naglee park (spell?) area... Its just a higher end suburb... Nothing fancy, but def nicer then most parts of SJ. Its in the middle of another suburb, so its not somewhere you drive through normally, I didnt even know it existed before she moved there. I can walk to SJSU in like 10 mins from her house.

I still would rather live somewhere else, but its really close to work for her and her husband, like zero commute which is why they love it. Like I said, for the price there are MANY better places to live in the bay area!

+1 for Portola Valley, my grandparents lived there since it was all farmland & dirt lots. I spent my summers at their place. Straight up 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' status.

Oh, you should see their house!!! BIIIIG *** brick mansion with green vine cover... I'd say its probably like 5,000sqft or more, plus they have about 2 acres of land! Thats A LOT in SJ. House probably goes for like 6 mill.

i googlemapped it, it does look very nice...as long as you dont get any of the riff raff coming thru from south of 280!

My friend lives 8th and martha, complete opposite side of 280, and i get a lot of stares yikes...not the place to park a nice car.

this is why i can't move back to the bay area. everything costs too much. then again san jose isn't cheap either.

my parents live in almaden valley in SJ. I think they picked up their home brand new in 1987 for 200K. now it's worth 1.1M or so...AND it's only like 2000 something sqft.

i'll be stickin to my apartment in socal for now since I can't seem to save any money to buy a house lol =(

Yeah, no one really expects that neighborhood to be there... Way nicer then willow glen and way less traveled.

yeah, lower life forms have no reason to cruise thru there...there are faster routes with less stop signs.
