      Red late model on bottlecaps, northbound405 just south of Kirkland. Going to town chewing on your fingernails! Haha.

      White diving board car on gold xxr527s? ES airdam in bellevue. Nice looking car.
      The white diving board car is my buddy Erics, he works up at illtech auto salon.

                  Even living in Bothell, I feel that Tacoma/GH is more like home. Feels weird up here.

                  They were pretty "high end" even in Tacoma. Only a few weeks after the corvette ZR1 came out there were calling for some TPMS sensors for a customers track set of wheels. Sold them a couple brackets for factory style big brakes on vettes as well. Seemed look cool dudes, I'd love to work there.

                    I just remember going into the Tacoma shop and seeing Evo's and Supra's. Yeah they are pretty cool guys. Its worth checking out there shop if you've never been there. They have a pretty nice showroom there. My friend (with the white e30) Owns/opperates the Detail division of the shop. The Owner Cody is a super nice guy, If i remember correctly they actually were looking for someone in the shop. I think they only have 1 guy.

                        This guy yesterday in the Juanita Safeway parking lot about 30 minutes before the Hawks game. Black diving boards, missing kidney grills, and a little bend in the front bumper. Looked like ESM 004 wheels. Had a r3v sticker in the right rear window. Nice looking car. Wanted to shout at ya, but you got out and went the other direction in a hurry.

                          That'd be perfect if they were looking for a parts guy! Selling parts in various places for ~10 years. All my wrenching has been for myself. Not exactly something I want to get burnt out on. :p

                            Could have been me. If you saw a roll bar, it was definitely me. I was up in that area a bit last week and saw a few early models on i5. You have a roof rack? I remember driving next to one for a while.

                            Although I did see a twin of my car, another late model alpine 318 on similar wheels around the needle the weekend before new years.

                              I saw a slammed, late model Zinno E30 near Highway 18 sometime last week, and cruised behind a gorgeous Alpine one the next day.
