Smile Moving into Orange County - Any help?

Hello,

Well... I'm from south Texas and just got back from SoCal and just signed a lease for an apartment.

Moving into Fullerton CA. I dont have any family in California so I will have absolutely no friends (besides the ones I make at work). Anyone on here from this area?

Also, which Mazda dealership is nearby and the best?

All for now.. hope to hear from you all soon!

Hi! Welcome to Kahhleeforneeahh (we all have to say it the way Ahhhnold does now). I'm in Diamond Bar, next town north of you. See ya on the 57 freeway!

As for dealers, I second MikeB's recommendation of Tustin Mazda. They have a good service department and an excellent body shop as well. Avoid Anaheim Mazda, even though they may be closer.

They have a weekly OC RX meet. You may want to go to one. Might be a good way for you to meet some people with a similar interest. It is in the "West" Section.

This thread should prolly be relocated to its respective regional forum...

On a similar note, I will be moving to the OC as well (without my 8, though ). I'm going to be there from the end of April until at least the end of May. If anyone wants to show me the ropes, I'm game!

Duh? Tustin!

Hehe. It's about 20 miles south of Fullerton I think. Just take the 5 south.

I'll definately PM you guys when I make it out to OC. I should be there by May 15th or so. Thanks for the info on the dealer... I guess that is where i'll take my car for services..etc.

What are the OC meets like?
Where do you all usually meet? What do you all do?
