Hella! Living right of Hostetter, Ringwood was home. Bernal was muscle-car city whenever we went to watch too. (We were in 1gen CRX's, Rabbits and Scirroccos...lolz) Our cars stood no chance when the Camaros and stuff showed up.

Flickenger Ave. and Sierra Rd. when Battaglia Cherry Orchards were still there....that place was the location of many a wrecked mullet mobile...

Is the video messed up, or is it me? Car is left hand drive, then when chick goes home it appears to be right hand drive, then it's left hand drive again?

Nevermind, it's me -- she was driving.

Is anyone old enough to remember meeting at the Lucky across from Berryessa theaters? This was before In 'n Out in Milpitas. Circa 1996? Or when they used to race down Great America Parkway.

Anyway, Ringwood, North 1st, Gateway, Dixon Landing, Automall, so many tracks. Even Bailey off of Bernal Road was a fun spot.

It was nice being young and having no worries in the world. Being old sucks.

Lol I remember fueling up while it was packed wit other imports blasting some Trance cd I think it was and forgetting that my gf (now my wife) threw in a Xmas Mariah cd and when my cd change went to the next cd...."All I want for Xmas is youuuu!" Hahaha I got some looks....and I just went home
