@mattchewers asks: 

What about Bay Area car culture do you think differentiates itself from LA? 

Thoughts?

There are so many niches of car culture in both, it's very hard to generalize, so I'm just going to posit that LA folks are still much more into expensive aftermarket wheels than folks in the bay _on average_.

There's a lot more flash to the LA scene. NorCal is more about understated rarity. That said, they have more in common with each other than they do with the central valley car scene.

Bay Area folks are less afraid of the rain. If the roads in LA have any moisture on it, there are zero C&C events happening. It's like Christmas morning with no one on the road.

New Money seems to be spread around all over the state. With that said, the NorCal car culture often emphasizes and embraces eco-friendly options and tech innovations. I've seen many Tesla vehicles recently bagged and wrapped with carbon fiber. In contrast, we still see older classics mixed into the same events. A case in point is the DWA events. The L.A. car scene tends to spotlight luxury and entertainment, mirroring the area's glamor and status-driven lifestyle.

When I lived there and every time I go back I think about the weather. It’s just a nice place to enjoy a nice car.
