My return date is open-ended due to a prior obligation no longer being in the way, so I might be able to stay a few more days, have yet to book the flight.
Who's in the area?

I'll be in SF May 8th-16th, mostly for the Google I/O developer conference, and a mini vacation, hehe.

The plan is to check our luggage with the owners, then do whatever till our flights leave.
If I were to do it, I'd be couch-surfing or staying up 24/7 for 5 days!

Shows 1:32 from sfo to Davis on goog maps.
And holy hell, that's an 8 hour drive for you from SD!

I saw numerous w126 chassis today, at least four w114/w115 chassis, numerous, 190's both D and E, a few w124s, and three old ponton type Benzs, including a fintail.

I've been salivating for some Mitsubishi parts to spiff up my truck...
If I can somehow come back with a large "checked bag" of parts and avoid shipping...

It's a bit off-topic for the forum, but how goes the Mitsubishi Montero/Mighty Max pickings?

I tend to window-shop the yards, and get things as they come to mind/make an impression.
Jesse, when are you leaving on the 15th from the davis meet? I might be able to swing seperate tickets so I can fly in to SFO and fly out of SAN. I wouldn't want to impose, and this is still just speculative. I'm not sure if my summer courses will allow a long stay either, gotta check the academic calendar...

No need to do a special search, I don't even know what I need...

I'm in the East Bay. I don't have much time left after work and family but would be happy to meet if the timing works.

Well, I need to book my flight by the end of the week, so looks like I'll be leaving on the 15th as planned.
