oh hai.....


Might me moving back to Seattle area for work. I was up there from Aug '13-April '14 and fell in love with the greenery.... and the trees too lolz

Got an offer from a company up thar and am looking into relocating, myself first probably for a couple months then bringin the family up. I'll prob have to rent till I get my home in Indiana either sold or rented out, that being said.... anyone have any leads to affordable, short term housing like studio or 1bdrm apts? I stayed in a month to month apt/extended stay of sorts in Bellevue previously, but the rent's too damn high now that I gotta cough it up (not my employer) I found some studios in the city, but all seem to be 9-12 months leases. I don't really mind too much where I end up for the first couple months but am a little more worried as to where I bring the family to. Schools are one big factor as I have a elementary and middle school aged kids. I've used both Zillow and craigslist but could use some local advice.
I got a good idear of what areas to avoid (SeaTac and vicinity for the most part) I hear it'd be cheaper to live outside King Co and commute, is there any benefits to that myth? Looking for places for the family near Bellevue (where I previously stayed/worked) Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Lynnwood, Greenwood, Bothell, and as far as Monroe. Office will be in "atlantic" neighborhood kinda near the Link and I90/I5, so I don't want to go too far norf. I Don't like the idea of taking a ferry everyday so I'd like stay east of the sound if I can help it.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Grabbed The n54 harness and all modules today, took me and the PO about 4 hours to completely strip a 335i to the bare firewall with nothing left..

The exhaust was sitting in the trunk area, he goes "want it, 100 bucks."
hmm ya I think I will, thank you. 3 inch everything.

[Matt-B]

Does anyone have a current copy of the zundfolge? I would like 2 copies please. Thanks

Just did a pretrip inspection on a 4Runner that's driving to Belize. I am envious.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Don't be, I hear that he's going in a 4Runner.

It'll get farther than your Corvair.

I've seen you talking about doing the swap! Getting excited for you man.

Think you'll have an engine by the end of winter?

Make a build thread please???

Looks like an awesome start to an incredible ride!

Credit where credit's due, it will only make it farther if it doesn't roll over first. 1965+ Corvairs won't flip as easy as it will.

I bet you think Suzuki samurais come from the factory flipped over too ;)

A drive to Belize would be awesome, although I too wouldn't choose w 4runner. Would rather take a Sammy, defender, disco, or land cruiser.
