Hi 86ers

[ilpad]

I know its been forever since I've checked in on the crew, but good news is I am still alive. As a couple of you know I travel a lot for work and the last year has been non stop so my free time has basically been zero. I also have a full time live-in girlfriend these days which is a time consumer on its own. I did make it out to the Papa's Toy's car show last weekend and really started to miss the car scene big time. I'm going to try to make it out to some events asap.

I'm guessing most of the same people are still around. I do need to hit up a Cinetopia and beer drinking run with @DarrenDriven again soon, only not 3 pitchers of dark beer this time.... I'll text you and set something up.

Do any of you still hit up cars n' coffee ever anymore? I heard they changed locations after getting kicked out of tigard and are now down in wilsonville?

I'll try to check up and see what good events are coming up and make an appearance. My FRS doesn't get driven nearly enough these days.

You suck!

[stockysnail]

You're alive?!?!?!
Some events to go to:
-June 10th Tacoma for annual Griot's Garage meet. There's a thread for it.
-June 25th BIGNWSubaru meet, yes FR-S as well. Autox madness!
-July 10th We've Got 86 event in Tacoma. Biggest meet for our cars in the NW.
Aside from that there are track days, autox, and all the other stuff.

Cars & Coffee is in Wilsonville at the World of Speed, but it's still called Cars & Coffee Portland even though it's no where near Portland. :o Still on Saturday's at 8am-ish

Funny I was just asking about you a few weeks ago, glad to hear all is well

[Touge_ninja]

Holy crap your still here!?

[thehapaone]

You still live in Oregon? I'm pretty sure we all assumed you either died or moved...but I did see your car a few weeks ago at costco at least I assume it was you

Hey glad to see you're still around!

Could have been me. My car sits at the office a lot and our shop guy will drive it from time to time, so hard to say. I was at the AT&T store getting some phones for my electricians though last week, so could have been me. I did however see you turning left out the the Jones Farm parking lot last week as well. I was driving a white Toyota Tundra Crewmax Platinum. Your car looked good.

I live out on the other side of Forest Grove now. Like 3 blocks from the state forest and the end of civilization until you hit the coast.

Gales creek area? And bruh... You know I'm the At&t guy around here!

[ilpad]

More near Forest Grove area. Think where Banks ends and Forest Grove starts. If you know where the massive mormon church and the high school is, my new house is near that area.

You're right. When I looked at my calendar I saw 10 but that was for the time. I've fixed it. Thanks

You'll need to come to some of the events like autox, track days, BIGNWSubi, Griot's garage, or We've Got 86 for us to see your fancy stuff.

I'd like to see wheels that aren't black nor blue on your car, but that's just me. For a more standard-ish color, I'd like gunmetal or bronze and for an outrageous color maybe florescent green or purple.
