1000 Hot Rods, 2 Ferraris and one Pantera

The weather reports never get it right. Been driving the 360 around during the week with fingerprints (and other prints) from the BC show. Finally washed it yesterday and drove around. Probably need to clean it again (maybe not).

Looked like a lot of fun, DJ. Interesting that you guys parked in front of a auto repair shop.

I've seen some of the cars from other car shows before. I've seen that Zimmer (aka pimpmobile) on I-405 a couple of times.

Did you use a new camera?

 

It's amazing what some young kids know.

I inspected my car yesterday before I washed it. It had some hand-dragging smudges on the rear flanks and new scratchs. There are the usual hand prints on the side windows and something that looked like a nose print. Ah, the things I find on a black car...

Time to put on a new coat of wax.

 

Hey, I recognize that neighborhood! I lived on Greenwood, at 132nd.

 

DJ,

Nice seeing you and Robert yesterday and good job representing Ferrari at the show!

To bad you couldn't join all the Fiats and Pantera for an "Italian" area.

Sue and I had a nice time wandering aound looking at the unique rides. A real mixed soup of marques including some "good, bad and ugly" ones.

Maybe next year I'll bring a car to to the event.

 

Nice pics. When I worked in Bellevue, I went over to Gorditos for dinner a lot!

 

LOL! Gorditos! I ate there all the time (when I felt like not pooping for 2-4 days afterwards). Some of my buddies even ate the double burrito and survived to tell about it.

I even knew people that lived in the slum above that place. It was rancid.

In Bellevue, did you ever "meet The Man?" Gene was classic.

DJ - My wife and I have been talking about Seattle lately as it's been a while since we've been back (she grew up in Kent/Covington and Gig Harbor); we might consider it for a law job. When I get up there I'll definitely give a shout to the NW Fchat crew. I gotta get a ride in Steve's F40!

 

Glad to see I am not the only one who ate there. Food was good, lots of portion, and cheap, and hey it was fun.

Didn't meat the man, but met many that thought they were the man.

Kent, eww. But seriously, don't move to Seattle Ryan. Great place to visit, but so much rain and dirty cars everywhere, depressing after a while. So cal baby.

 

Wasn't it a fantastic weekend weather-wise? Even up here was glorious.

That is one unusual and really nice colour for that Pantera. I like it... Looks like you guys had a great time.

Willis, did you check your car for prints left by that blonde?

My car needs a good cleaning too after the Father's Day show. Not from finger prints, but the dust from the tree I was parked under.

Today while driving, car ahead of me threw up a stone and I watched it dance all over my hood... Arrgghhh! After stopping and checking, thankfully it didn't leave any marks. Oh well, what can you do when that happens? Better than sitting in the garage on a day like this (although I really need to do that tune-up).

 

I do know the private joke. My ex fiance and all her family was from Seattle. So not only did I spend the better part of 4 years there, I worked up there for a while.

Its a great place don't get me wrong, and it doesn't rain all the time. THe summers are beautiful, stuff is cheap relatively, and its a good state. Its lush and green.

The women are ugly and the weather is not that nice in the summer. My friend had a huge house on Lake Washington, and boating was fun, but nothing like a blue ocean and beautiful sandy beach. Also I like women that are less than 165lbs at 5'5" and ugly brown hair.

 

BWUHAHAHAH!! That was funny.

They are out there though... you just have to look .


I miss the fresh pine smells and driving on the nice windy roads through lush greenery too.

 

Can someone explain how street rods are street legal? And using that context, can I 'make' a race car in my garage and say it is a street rod and make it street legal? I am just wondering out loud....

 

I dont want to look hard to see beautiful women. Here in CA, and other places like NY and Florida, hot women are dime a dozen, and that cannot be said about the Pacific NW. They have to have one of the uglier breed of women. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but making a generalization here. Go to a bar on 1st street on friday/sat night and you can see the type of women versus Sunset blvd in So Cal.

Go to Bellevue/Redmond malls during the day, and the MILFS there are not half as good as the ones on Rodeo and Brentwood or Riveroaks in Houston.

If you don't believe me, I will give you a personal tour of Northwest and of Southwest, and we can compare women.

Though the NW women like colored guys, and if you are non white you have much easier chance of getting lucky, since you are considered an exotic. Sort of like a toyota corolla in Alabama.

No doubt! THat is my fav about WA/OR area. Then I realized I can have all that in Northern Ca..look at the posts by Riverflyer, who has a 550 and lives in the northern CA. Not much diff than seattle at all.

 

Different states have diff rules. CA has one of the most stringest rules when it comes to emisson. However I had my turbo crx for a few years and it didn't give me smog problems, though it could never pass inspection.

Its about who you know, how much $$ u want to spend, and how much patience you have.

RHD cars that are illegal to drive on the roads, are registered dime a dozen. Trust me, as that is what I do for a living.

So everything in the world can be accomplished.

 

Well in 4 years in Seattle, I didn't see much, thats all I was saying. I spent some time in Everett/Bellingham area as well.

San Diego women are hot no doubt. Los Angeles IS the capital of the world

I dont mind talking to a party balloon as long as its a good looking one
Men need brains, women need looks

 

I do know about the slim pickings. I certainly am not one to come online and generalize. I usually only open my mouth when I have lived through something, and sadly I have lived through quite a few of the slim pickings. Funny, I know a few people who work with you

You gotta increase your night time activities to more than a few mintues
