Of course, the other way to look at it would be that now you’d have enough parts with your other big Jeeps to build the Golden eagle, and parts left over for the J-10... And that’s not really much in the way of algae/moss - you ought to see what the cars look like in the Pacific NW after they’ve sat outside for a year…

New Yorker... right... SMH

Yeah, every body pretty much figured it was just a short section of I-5... Just a bad place. And with an average of 65k vehicles using this stretch every day, well, the delays are going to be massive.

I go back and forth to Portland frequently. Best time to go through that section is about 6:00 in the morning on weekends, or after midnight during the week...

Even better - 167 to Puyallup and around the east side of JBLM...

Passes aren’t bad right now... Car hauler is picking up my Vette to ship to San Diego today.... :-(

And with the military base on the left, and the south end of Puget Sound to the right, there is really no viable way to get south to Portland short of I-90 east bound, hang a right at Yakima, and go west along either side of the Columbia River.

Probably late to the party, but....

Not at all... just something that struck me because it’s the same letters in both...

It was a joke...

Can’t spell WSJ without SJW....

One of Thor Johnson’s other vintage cars. He races a lot up here in the Pacific Northwest.

With the 1968 B-Sedan Datsun 510 we raced for roughly 10 years, in season was a couple of nights a week. Nut and bolt checks, brakes if needed, fluid changes, general odds and ends from a long race weekend. If we lost an engine or gearbox or a rear end, pretty much the next week would be 3 or 4 nights getting parts…

Navy flew them as the Privateer...

Maybe all the other really qualified women - you know, the ones that are already racing - and winning - figured out what the FIA was trying to do, called bullshit on them, and refused to be part of this circus?

I was gonna make a snarky reply, but... Well played...

More years ago than I’d like to think about, I worked for the USFS on a firefighting handcrew. At the time, they were still using the PB4Y (the Navy version of the B-24 WW2 bomber - operated by Hawkins & Powers if I remember correctly). We were on a fire in the Laguna mountains east of San Diego - got to watch it make…

At one point, there were 2 935's vintage racing in the PNW. This was at the Historics at Pacific Raceways in 2006...

The Whittington 935 was vintage raced out here in the Pacific Northwest back in 2006. Don’t know what happened to it after that. God, that car was amazing to watch and listen to on track... Exhaust flames for the win!

A jet engine.... so it’s still a rotary, right?
