Where is Will's house?
I am leaving from Fremont to northern Sonoma County. But not sure what time. Probably after traffic dies down.

He's in Napa, down off of Silverado Trail, but get me close enough and Im happy!

I land at 8:20, hopefully thats not too late. no bags or anything to wait for, just a small backpack

That uber/lyft would cost more then your flight.

Exactly. Will has offered to pick me up as a last resort, but he's already done so much I would hate for this to happen also. Hence why Im asking random r3v people if they will help haha

@decay, where in SF do you live so you're able to have space for your E30 / repairs?

the new place is pretty cool- it's a warehouse converted into a musician's commune- the ground floor is a music school for kids, and everyone who lives in the lofts is involved in the local music scene somehow. there's also a studio with gear to work from.

it does not have space to store or work on a car, so the baur lives on the street and will be spending time in the shop. if i wanted my own garage again i'd be looking at least an hour commute to work on public transport, and right now it's a half-hour walk.

life choices.

Ah.

I'm trying to figure out where I want to live when my lease is up. I'm leaning towards staying in the Berkeley area, as I can get a house with a 2 car garage in Albany for the price of a 1 bedroom in SF.

However, BART is never on time, and it's a really obnoxiously long ride, and still costs $15/day when all is said and done, vs $25 for Bridge + Parking if I drive to work.

It ends up costing about the same amount, I think, but it would be nice if I could live in SF and keep my car in a garage with room to work...

The Bay really makes the most basic things really difficult.

yeah, my last place was in oakland and my last two tech gigs have been in the financial district so car commute wasn't viable. i don't miss the cattle-car that bart has become either. i became a regular at a couple of local bars downtown after work just to avoid the peak-hour crush- frequented one of them enough that they gave me a weekly DJ gig :)

now i can walk to both the job and the gf's place (she's a student at CalArts) so the car is just for fun.

but i got extremely lucky, finding a 15'x40' loft with like-minded roommates, for $1700/mo. that and free commute leaves room in the budget to fix/maintain things at a shop- i'm guessing anywhere with a garage in SF proper would be at least twice as much.
