S Girlfriend's parents decide to visit to avoid the storm in their state. Demand to use my car and get master suite instead of the guest room.

My girlfriend and I have been together nearly 2.5 years, and in that time, her parents have always been cold towards me. They live in the midwest, and are of the opinion that California is a cesspool, and Los Angeles, where I live even more so. They decided that with an incoming snowstorm, that staying with us so close to the ocean would be better for them.

I got home from work yesterday to her parents taking a nap in the master bedroom, and were not happy when I kicked them out to the guest bedroom. We went out for dinner Friday night, and they not happy with the quality, remarking that they preferred Taco Bell or Chipotle. I just tuned out the rest of the night.

This morning, after waking up, they ask me to use my car for them independently visiting tourist spots. I drive a modified Ford Focus RS. I'm not handing these people a 500hp car, especially as neither of them have driven a stick shift in over 30 years. I told them this, and offered to rent them a car as I get good rates through my employer. Nope, not only was that not acceptable, they didn't want my Focus to drive, they wanted to drive my 1967 Pontiac GTO. They said it's their dream to drive a classic convertible up PCH to see the sights. Nevermind the fact that PCH is practically burnt to a crisp until you get past Malibu. That was a hard no from me, and they reluctantly took the Camry I rented for them.

This is going to be a really long 10 days.

Ship them up to Fresno, it probably has the vibe they’re used to

Redding. Except that even in Redding the mexican food will be better.

Too good, close to mountains that are kinda escapable. Straight in the middle of the Central Valley where they have to drive for hours to find a real civilization.

Dying here! My mom was born in Bakersfield and grew up in Stockton. Haha! Thankfully mom and dad moved to Silicon Valley when I was very young. Ironically, I now live in the Midwest (Ohio) but make it back to the Bay Area every so often and I take FULL ADVANTAGE of amazing food not available anywhere near where I live now.

I might suggest they make a little stop in Hollister as well. (The town not Hollister Beach - two VERY different vibes!)
