I got rid of the most seattle car(green 2000 outback wagon) for what I think is the second most seattle car(2013 jetta tdi sportwagen). I would be down for something. Also, anyone want to buy my e30 or alltrac celica project so my girlfriend doesn't kill me when I bring home a mr2?

blk posted:Tell me it's an ST205 st165 actually. I still like it the most out of the alltracs, just don't have the drive to rebuild it VelociBacon posted:To add to this, how exactly are they testing for it? I would think you'd have to have been arrested or a warrant would be needed. I work in emergency and we need a urine sample to test for cannaboids, I can't imagine theres some kind of breathalyzer test because of how it's metabolized. From what I have heard, its mostly been blood tests taken after an incident. While I agree its a bullshit testing method(hence the burnouts tag), it rarely happens, usually after an accident. NWDub posted:anyone suspected of dui will have to give blood sample Yes, this is all true, but remember you can get a DUI for driving stoned anywhere. Hell most places wont even bother testing you, and just go by the cop "smelling marijuana" and the driver having red eyes. I have lived in Seattle my entire life and smoked my fair share and I am not concerned in the least. Just remember, lawyer up.

^^^ Seriously, can you please take this to TCC? ^^^NWDub posted:weed dui stuff Lets not continue this here. If you are that concerned about it, by all means stay out of washington. I just stick to not doing anything to get pulled over and don't worry about it. 13 INCH DICK posted:Add a Ball in Fremont has beer and pinball and a large (albeit pay) parking lot and right around the corner is Ballard Bar and Grill on Leary with about 8 pool tables and a large free parking lot if we felt like a meet and greet. Ballard Bar and Grill is probably a pretty good option if we want to do this. One of the few places in the city that is actually decent to go to and has a parking lot that is big. I can't wait till my lease is up on my current house in shoreline so I can move back to ballard.

I still stand by my statement that union jacks is the best strip club in portland  Granted all of the girls that work there have more of an "alternative" look than what you find at most of the other clubs which is why I like it. 13 INCH DICK posted:Yeah definitely wasn't making it out to be some sort of official meet and greet just saying I felt like doing something this weekend with an open invitation to just hang out. What time frame are you thinking? Something tells me that the girlfriend would not be interested in going there just cause I want to hang out with people from the internet, but I would come by and have a beer before she gets off work.

Next time we will have to setup a eening meet at a bar or something. I meant to show up, but I really don't get out of bed before noon on the weekend. Ended up waking up around 1pm and figured the meet was over. Was it a silver clownshoe? If so I think that would have been my older brother, I know he was talking about showing up. Maksimus54 posted:Had a great time, really nice to meet you guys and hope we can do another meet sometime with less rain. I vote Bongos for Caribbean food, I swear I'm not a shill for them I am still disappointed that that place does not just sell bongos as I assumed when I first saw it.

goobernoodles posted:Yep, it was him. His wife showed up as well. Televiper told a story of writing an email with a massive list of everything wrong with his E36 M3 to a potential buyer and it turns out it was his brother (YOU poo poo, I totally forgot to respond to that email from him. Not really a potential buyer, but he was interested in my e30 and mentioned the m3 so I had to at least ask what the deal with it was. I was even going to show up with my e30 if hadn't overslept, in its full moss covered glory since its been sitting for ~6 months.

I was pretty happy with the SMART service when we had a outback. For general stuff, my go to shop is Taskar Garage in ballard. The owner is awesome and has fixed minor things for me for free in the past, as well as done work in exchange for king crab and/or salmon. Also one of the few shops I have ever dealt with that flat out refused to do work that was not worth it. My friends dad had a explorer that blew its 3rd transmission and they told him they weren't going to waste his money putting another transmission in it. For suspension work or cars I care about more, its group 2 in magnolia all the way. Its worth it just to be able to wander around the shop a bit and look at the awesome cars that are sitting around. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Apr 24, 2014 |

If people want to do north seattle I know a few different places that have patios, since I am a dirty smoker and I keep a list of places I can smoke and drink at. Also, do you think your friend would be interested in my st165 all trac? Shoot me a email if you want info damiancurry at gmail That also goes for anyone local, I think its time to suck it up and just sell it.

BraveUlysses posted:I just asked him and he's got his hands full with just one alltrac. Really it needs a new engine/transmission. Shortly after I got it the valve stem seals went along with the turbo seal, and 2nd/3rd gear syncros were toast when I got it. I started pulling the turbo off to get it rebuilt and then found some of the PO's work to make the car run mega squirt, which was a terrible hack job. That made me decide that it was not worth fixing the current motor, and I was planning on getting a st205 engine/transmission and take out the megasquirt, but I never got that far. It could be put back on the road with some head work, fixing a couple of the really bad hacks(ie crank position sensor being mounted on a L shaped piece of metal, on end attached to a motor mount and the other to the ac pump. It would loose spark randomly at high revs when it would bounce around) and rebuilding the turbo. The car is in really nice shape as far as the body goes, tho it has a lovely paint job on it. Nice suspension with poly bushings everywhere. I just don't really have enough interest to spend the time/money it needs. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 20:52 on May 20, 2014 |

Maksimus54 posted:North Seattle is easiest for me, somewhere outside also sounds great. What's a bar everyone can get to and park at in Ballard that has a patio? Bleachers on 81st and greenwood has been my go to for a while. decent sized parking lot with easy street parking around and a patio. 13 INCH DICK posted:Everybody can park at, or a patio, select one Molly Macguires is great. There is also the Ould Triangle on 100th and greenwood that used to be owned by the same people(married couple, each got a bar in the divorce). Easier parking and bigger patio than Molly's.

True, but seeing as the movers are showing up on friday, I have a feeling I am going to spend the weekend unpacking/cleaning the old house up. On the up side, my new house is stumbling distance from Bleacher's on greenwood so I will probably be there way to much.

yea, Aloha ramen was a odd place. I only went there once since I could never figure out their hours, but I drove by one day and saw that they were open and immediately stopped. Pretty good, but not amazing. We used to live in greenwood before moving to shoreline for the past year, since it was way more convenient for my girlfriends school. I am super pumped to be moving back, but we are spending way too much money on stuff for the house. But I for sure can't make it on sunday now since the couch we picked out is being delivered sunday, between 9am and 6pm. So I guess I will be unpacking/sitting in the yard drinking.

Munich Evo is awesome. I am pretty sure the owner started it just to use the showroom to store his BMW collection. They usually bring a bunch of their cars out to the Greenwood car show every year. Last I saw he had 2 m1's and 5 or so CSL's.

greenwood area would be great for me, but that is just because I am lazy and would rather not drive anywhere. I seem to remember 13" talking about the old highway 99, which also has 2 other bars right next to it.

This thread is making me even more depressed about our house search. I wish that me or my fiance could come to terms with leaving the city, but we both grew up in Seattle and still have our hearts set on finding somewhere in north seattle. Part of me wants to say gently caress it and just move to bellingham or something, but I don't think she is up for that plan. Fingers crossed that we can make a deal with my mom and stepdad to buy their house in Ballard. It might be kinda odd to buy the house I grew up in, but you can't beat the location. Needs a full remodel, but its livable in the mean time. Just need to buy something so I can leave HP and go work somewhere that will pay me better.

blk posted:What are you Seattle people's commute times like? Portland is getting a lot worse and I'd like to compare anecdotes. I am currently renting a house at pretty much 81st and greenwood and commuting to the convention center(7th and pine) in downtown. Granted I work from home 3 out of 5 days, but the ~6 mile drive to my office takes from ~15 minutes with light traffic to 1+ hours if traffic is bad. Coming home is even worse since all the construction in downtown is loving traffic. If I leave my office by 3pm, its a 20 minute drive home, anytime after 4pm its more like 45 minutes minimum if I am lucky, mostly just getting to aurora. Hopefully once the new 99 tunnel is finished(not holding my breath) it will help the commute. Mat_Drinks posted:Well, yeah, if you're trying to buy a house in Ballard there is plenty to be depressed about. But there are still parts of the city and just outside that can be kind of affordable. Ballard is our dream neighborhood. Unless my mom and stepdad make us a good offer on their house, there is no way we can buy a house there. We live in greenwood now and love it, but its almost as bad as ballard now, so we are really banking on my mom's house. I am open to West Seattle, but the fiance is not, so I am trying to convince her. I would honestly not mind buying a place in edmonds, so if we can't do north seattle, that is where I am pushing for. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Apr 11, 2015 |

Comrade Flynn posted:You're like...a mile from me. My moms place is prolly even closer, 70th and 22nd, right around the corner from salmon bay park. I grew up between that house and queen Anne and magnolia, and i used to rent an apartment on 62nd and 20th, so I am well aware of the commute running bridge. It's going to be interesting to see what happens to traffic when Expedia moves into the amgen complex.
