Default on i5 north tonight

I saw a red 4th gen camaro with black rims going north on i5 near the 520 exit tonight. The license plate looked to be some kind of special one and I am pretty sure the number was 1453. I was in my pewter trans am and I got off on 520 but I just wanted to say hi and see if whoever it was posts on here.

That would be me. I saw your trans am. Nice. I just moved to seattle too. So when you saw me I was lost as hell trying to get to the stadium. I dont like driving down town because cops pull me over in a heart beat because of my exhaust. So I just did a long *** loop until I could find a spot to turn around without having to go down town. Where do you live in AZ?? I used to basically live down there.

lol! I get lost sometimes too. Downtown is still pretty confusing to me but as long as I can get to 99 or i5 then I can find my way home. I used to live in north Scottsdale almost to cave creek, off of Scottsdale rd and Dynamite. I was only there for 5 years. I'm originally from the Chicago area, I was in Naperville for the first 16 years of my life. Why did you move up here? I am going to the UW for mechanical engineering. Maybe we could hang out sometime, I need to make new friends in this area. lol

Oh weird??... I think I saw you like just the other week around the downtown area (I think it was either Friday or Saturday)? I was up there in Seattle visiting a friend for a few days, but I live down here in the Vancouver / Portland area.

The only reason why I sort of remember your car is because I don't see many sharp looking TA's on the road these days in that color. Black, white, red yes.... but pewter, quite rarely. Anyway, welcome to the great 'ol Northwest!

My ears are still ringing.

We took a quick tour of the downtown including a flyby of Bumbershoot and then across I-90. That was a fun excuse to get out and put some miles on the Cobra.

The best part was the license plate frame on the red car during the burnout. "I <3 my Shih tzu"

Yeah, he told me that he rotated the tires, but I didn't know he meant "On the rim!" Oh well, he paid for them I guess he can burn 'em up

I work down on 1st and Holgate, 5 blocks south of The Safe. Every once in a while the Trans Am will make an appearance down there.

To learn the streets of downtown Seattle, you just have to remember, "Jesus Christ Made Seattle Under Protest." South to North:

Jesus = Jefferson & James
Christ = Columbia & Cherry
Made = Marion & Madison
Seattle = Spring & Seneca
Under = University & Union
Protest = Pike & Pine

Thanks for the tip. I'm sure that will come in handy for me.

You didn't pick up your LS1 in AZ did you? A buddy traded his built red Z (yeah, I noticed your name says SS and not Z) in on an 03 Cobra down there a few years back and last we'd heard it was running around in WA now. AZ plate used to read JSTAZ28.

Oh, and another NW member with AZ plates on his car still. :o I can't bring myself to get rid of my MNGOOSE plates, in favor of Oregon's 6 digit plates. My AZ tags expired in 2005 too, so last time I was home I had to get a temp tag to drive her.

Oh, and the BOP (Buick Olds Pontiac) drags are coming up at Bremerton if any of you race. Sept 15th. There is also a CCC race that day (Car Club Challenge) that many of us participate in, and one of our resident bad boys will be "going for it" that day too.
