Seattle Spotter Thread #8

I saw a Red F355 Spider in Kent on Saturday around 4pm. It was coming over a hill as we were going up it, so I couldn't see who was driving.

 

I think I know the car. The guy lives in Bellevue

 

Black 575M eastbound 520 tonight around 7:30pm.

 

did you see if it (308) had an oregon plate that might have been its right around there at DMC northwest getting some work done belts clutch birdman fuse box ect... the has it almost down and was test driving it

 

I was comming off the 522 interchange headed north and the 308 was going in the opposite direction so couldn't see plates. Normally I wouldn't post an Elise spot but saw a red one headed north on I-5 around 8:10 this morning in the liquid sunshine near 164th

 

Lady driving a Red 599 GTB on 1st Ave S., near Normandy Park today around 2PM.

 

Nice spot Gary. You do not see many and with a lady driving. A lady with a need for speed. Cool. Fine taste dosn't hurt either.

 

There's a blonde chica in my 'hood that drives a black 575.

 

You better be checking out the car and not the driver or I'm Telling !!

 

Saw a titanium 360 Spider leaving the Everett Walmart at about 3:00 pm

 

What was wrong with that picture, LOL. Wal-mart = WT = Door dings. If you Park a 1/2 a mile away bubba in a 72 pick up will be 4 inchs away when you come out. Why? Gravitational pull is my theory.

 

Lol it actually shocked me to see the car pulling out of the parking lot as I drove past. I was thinking maybe he went to Panda Express or something since they're in the same parking lot but that's on the far end of the lot and doesn't require going over speed bumps to get in so I don't know

 

Bah, don't stereotype the Wal Mart patrons....I have driven my 355 spider to Wal Marts on occasion, never had a problem...

 

Saw a red 996 GT2 on 19th Ave in Everett around 3:50 pm

 

I was last there just last weekend getting a GPS. I tried to get my wife to shop there instead of Target because they were a customer of mine. We went once. Total train wreck but the people watcing is awesum.

 

A lot of toothless customers

 

I have never set foot in a wally mart, and never will.

They are a sheitty company that kills towns and keeps their employees trapped in the poverty cycle with low wages and no insurance, while we pay for them to go to the emergency room.

All so you can save five cents on your crap made in china.

Fock them with a rusty nail.

 

With all due respect, your facts about Walmart are off by a mile or two. Their wage for non skilled work is actually average to above average and they are one of the few companies that offer insurance to non-full time employees. In the overall scheme of things you will find few Walmart employees bad mouthing their company.

 

You are so mis-informed..it is a shame..this kind of random mis-information is what starts rumors that are full of half truths and in-correct statistics...

WalMart has one of the highest employee retention rate in the country due to their excellent benefits and pay for non skilled non graduateed work force. They support sommuntys country wide more than you can imagine....they are a God send to many depressed areas.

 

+1!!

 

Gotta agree with you there. I have in laws who live in a small town in Georgia. The place was pretty desolate and Wal Mart moved in. They brought goods and services that were unavailable in the region. They created jobs. My in laws have benefited from not only a job there, but stock ownership in the company. They have moved into a nicer home in a brand new neighborhood, part of the improved housing in the area as a result of increasing incomes. Other companies have taken note and moved into the area providing more goods, services and employment. Yes, Wal Mart might have wiped out the small general store that provided a few summer jobs and a weak selection of products, but the population has voted with its wallet and that is what wiped out the general store.

I don't shop at Wal Mart and I don't shop at Costco, not on political grounds, but just because I don't really like being in gigantic big box retail stores. I prefer buying on line because it's easier for me. Is the internet wiping out brick and mortar? No. The businesses that are thriving are the ones giving the customer what they want. Hard to blame Wal Mart for giving the customer what they want.

OK, now back to car spotting which is what this thread is supposed to be about...

Car spotting...

 

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. My assertions are based on researched fact.

I used to believe the opposite until my brother in law, PHD economist at a local university as well as a republican activist ( not a pink- commie-socialist- bastard like me ) pointed me toward numerous peer reviewed studies in scholarly journals that prove the assertions I made are indeed fact.

That said, I also think Wallymart has also increased many peoples standard of living by providing them with increased availability of things at great prices they may not have otherwise been able to afford.

Additionally, when my sister was earning her doctorate ( yes my whole family has them, myself included) at The University of Arkansas, The Walton family is the sole supporter of all community activities in the city. That is undoubtedly for the greater good.


As with most complex issues the truth is much more complicated than any specifics can reveal.

I apologize to all for bringing this up here, as this forum is not the place for such disscusions. Consider my pie hole closed on this subject.




Back on topic, I saw a gorgeous metalic dark blue Maserati Bora heading south on Chuckanut drive near Bellingham this morning. It had BC plates, and looked sipmly stunning in that color.
