I saw it twice from two different angles and my guess is yes, it was that car...It had the same wheels and everything, though I didn't get a look at the plate. It was on KOMO 4.

Yup that was me I showed up about 15 minutes after they did to pick it up I got stuck there last night about 5pm right after about 3" of snow and ice built up on the freeway. I was coming back from ballard when it was bare and wet and boom the weather turned to ****. It took 3 tow trucks to bring it in though because they "saw it was an enthusiasts car and made sure to be extra careful" and sure enough I checked it out thoroughly before paying a dime and there wasn't a scratch on her. $188 later though Found a subaru in gig harbor I want for $400 lol I ended up walking to my friends house from 145th & I-5 down to Lake City by Dick's and Alley Chev. He has a subaru with studded tires lol we ended up taking it rallying through the stanwood camano-island road towards arlington to pick up amanda. That was a blast wish I had a video camera with me.
