Drive went well, need more goons to start coming! Here are some dates I am trying to put together :


July 7th: Big Drive, https://goo.gl/maps/vrmcgxS86sQ2

It would be really cool to get a decent group of people to come, our wednesday drives have between 5-8 people right now but only two of us are Goons.

I should have the CRX by then after paying a stupid amount to get the Ac fixed amongst other things.

Bring the gtr, it will make the trip just fine.


Oshata Hyotesti posted:

I can do a morning drive that day on the 7th.

I think I am going to try and have everyone meet at like 8 am. Roads will be emptier. So we should be done by like 11 but we can always shift it to meet w/ anyone's schedule.

!!!8 Days till what should be a good drive!!!!!

Here are the details, lets try to meet at 8-8:30 AM here: https://goo.gl/maps/qrYAQNjjLvN2


Here is the route (https://goo.gl/maps/nSiUX19pkTw), estimated time should be 3 hours tops (156 miles). There will be gas stations along the way (So that means bring your dam GTR). Should finish up a little before noon and i figured we could grab some killer burger.

Hoping we can get a good turn out.

Hurm.... If I can make it, stock FD or modded FD? *Going to see if a few Rx7's can join if that's ok.
I dunno that is a tough question fd is incredible looking stock, but i would love to see either honestly. That white one you have is easily top 5 best looking cars.
Absolutely anyone can come.

Should I grab breakfast before I meet you guys or do we want to grab some food before we ride for 4 hours?


There is a bank parking lot right next to the chevron, I might be parked there because it is bigger.

Drove some of the roads yesterday, going to make a small change to the route. This allows for people to branch off at three spots (if you don't want to do the whole loop), I figure we can take an extended break in a town called Northwoods, and we can decide if we want to head back the way we came or finish the loop.

I would say eat something before just in case, Vancouver does not have the greatest breakfast scene for eating out.

Also I bought a nice 5 gallon gas can today just in case, it will be coming with us.

Here is the revised run: https://goo.gl/maps/Kifx7GE1soP2

We can stop at that store and people can gauge if they want to continue or head back.

We drove, we bottomed out, I got the group lost: The Goon Story

It started out like any other Saturday, a motley crew of four goons met up to go drive some cars and stuff.



We set off on our route: https://goo.gl/maps/Kifx7GE1soP2.

Driving was good got stuck behind some slow cars for some fun bits but overall was enjoying the ride. As we ventured farther into the national forest, the roads slowly became worse and worse. The wash out led to many a bottoming out. The group sustained a few casualties, what was left of my sub frame bushings have left this earth now, I might have a bent control arm on the passenger rear, and Spyder had to say good bye to the RX7s pillowball mounts :angel:. But then it got worse, I started seeing signs for Mt St Helens and the town of Randal Washington. We pulled over where that picture was taken and we were here (more or less): https://goo.gl/maps/Vt2KqgSxJ242. I had missed the turn to head south about 30 minutes ago:lolplant:. So in true goon fashion I had royal screwed the pooch on the inaugural PDX Goon Drive. Our new route was this one: https://goo.gl/maps/Wsnm3RAEVkn.

Nothing like adding 2 hours to a trip amirite!?!?!?

The other three were Loanarn, Oshata, and Spyder. All very cool dudes with some nice rides. Gonna keep trying to get a bigger group going places, and also for the mid week west hills pdx runs.

Also here is another cool pic i took (then messed with sliders for fun): :swoon: :swoon:


Spyders RX7 is such a good looking car, easily one of the top five best looking cars imo period.

Fun drive today! Thanks for setting it up.

Yes it was! I felt so bad about getting lost I was gonna buy you and spyder some killer burger. I will have to pick up the tab when we do another drive (and don't get lost).

Talking about doing one last big drive before garage season starts, here is the proposed route:

https://goo.gl/maps/5cfgKLcscCr

Probably start pretty early 8-830, have a beer or two in Astoria then head back to PDX. Tentatively I was thinking 9/29/2018 (a Saturday). It would be cool to get a contingent of goons to join.

Well, I was going to try and bring the new Z - but the gas tanks full of rust. No time to fix it before hand and the FD hasn't moved since the last drive. Maybe next time.

It's a month away, you gotta get that white fd out, it is an awesome looking car. Also I promise to not take us around St Helens and on barely paved roads.
