Geez . . . This is getting waaay off base here but . . . This is no different than well off people driving into the more colorful parts of town, if you will, to buy drugs and what not. By doing so, they are encouraging these people to keep doing what it is that they are doing. Now, what if these practices were occurring at your very own doorsteps?

people will swing their cars in residential areas, in front of houses, ect ... but a big sideshow is gonna pop up in a parkin lot or cutty spots. Still tho, i used to **** off the neighbors when i swang my car on the corner, told me to take it down the street. That would **** me off too if hella people were in front of my house trying to start a sideshow in a small street... i wouldn't want that at all... because i know my cars parked outside are gonna have some dent marks on the roof
But i enjoy seeing cars doing figure 8s and burning rubber, i guess it's just entertaining to me... the scraping and ghost riding is alright, nothing special, but takes away the performance car approach.

So then why is it OK in other areas? You seem to have a double standard. "I enjoy sideshows...as long as they aren't in my neighborhood".

You can see a group of (brothas) poppin their collars, mashin out of driveways, getting hyphy as they drivin, or any type of other activity even when there are not spectators around. I know this because I have seen it many a time.

It sure would not be the people driving there. Again, your comment makes no sense.

I dont have a double standard. Im just smart about where I live. I have the opportunity to be a spectator and visit those areas and at the end of the night leave the ghetto and return to the solitude and peacefulness of my area. You have never been nor will you ever go see such an event and that is your choice. Dont knock me for enjoying watching such events either. You have no clue what the experience is like so everything you say is one sided.

Ask them to dip the tortillas into the grease where they cook the sesos. It will give your taco extra flavor. I always look forward to going there. Sometimes you will see the the late night Mariachi guys there getting their food.
These are the closest things I can find to the Tijuana 3 for $1 tacos. Estan tan similar en sabor.

Im sure there are things you do that others would find a waste of time. Thats is the opinion you are entitled to have.

The sideshows of old in the OAK are not the same. They are far and few because of the new restrictions and the fear of losing cars. Anyone who goes out to any event poses a risk of something happening to em. It was unfortunate what happened to her, but it was a matter of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I have almost been hit by a car out there too when it came within a foot of hittin my leg. Yes, I was standing on the curb. There are many things people do that put them at risk of getting injured. Illegal street racing has cause a stir of focus and the danger it posseses. People have the choice of either going or sitting at home. Life is what it is. Ish happens.
Im glad you like tacos. If you order them in your best gringo accent, you will get more meat. You should try it.
