GT cars and Turtle homes tend to appreciate in value. Hipster coffee, not so much :)

I agree. It's crazy how fast and far they have risen.

I guess it depends on your target school. A recent NY Times article suggests that you are twice as likely to be admitted to an elite university from a private school vs public school. I would be curious to see what Sage's admission rates are for private top tier universities vs IUSD...

The Japanese brands have fallen behind Korea. They make reliable cars but have stalled in terms of design and innovation.

I ended up using Vasquez Car Wash & Mobile Detail: https://www.yelp.com/biz/vasquez-car-wash-and-detail-mobile-santa-ana https://vasquezcarwashanddetail.com/ They did a good job using a 3 man crew. $40 (small car) for hand wash, spray wax, and interior wipe down. You can text them to setup an...

Wow! Incredible price drops. Feel bad for the early adopters of the Plaid. Weren't they going for $130k+?

I'm looking for a mobile detailer /car wash in the Irvine area. Let me know who you like and how much they charge.

I like the exterior redesign. Interior pluses include new front ventilated seats, more sound deadening, added speakers, and rear control screen. Downside: no signal or shifting stalks. Here is Car Wow's drive test:

Looking forward to seeing one in person. But disappointed about the huge a$$ wiper. Is it supposed to be vertical at rest?

Watch your wallet at Irvine Mitsuwa! Be aware of your surroundings while shopping and don't leave anything unattended. https://ktla.com/video/police-seek-publics-help-identifying-thief-in-irvine/8913819/

This was discussed over 10 years ago and there is still no construction. According to @sgip , there will be no extension until The Toll Road bonds are paid off. https://www.talkirvine.com/threads/extension-of-incomplete-roads.16189/#post-328105...

Incredible detective work by IPD! All 3 homicide suspects are in custody. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/third-suspect-arrested-in-connection-with-murder-of-teen-in-irvine/

IPD made two arrests. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/2-arrested-for-deadly-shooting-in-irvine-neighborhood/

The crime rate has paralleled Irvine's rapid growth. https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/1-killed-after-car-to-car-shooting-in-irvine-neighborhood/ https://www.ocregister.com/2023/08/03/car-to-car-shooting-at-midday-in-irvine-leaves-man-dead/

Zovall pasted a link to BKShopr’s thread in the first post.

It's bad Feng Shui to place your jewelry store or bank near a freeway entrance.

More idiots stealing jewelry. I hope IPD catches them soon. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/video-shows-3-masked-robbers-smash-display-cases-in-irvine-jewelry-store/amp/

I remember signing a waiver at my dealership for not installing a front plate. They don't want you suing them for the cost of a ticket. Tint places use similar waivers for dark front side windows.

Where did you get a ticket? I’ve rarely seen speed traps in Irvine except on Jamboree.

Cool. Never heard of this company until you posted. Looks like 2 Whitherspoon is the HQ. TGS is a secretive quant fund except for large recent land purchases for data centers. They control more than 60 acres in Irvine--$240M / 42 acre Great Park site closed in December...
