Look, I need a co-driver for my drive to California on THURSDAY. I am going down there, trading a car, and driving back. There will be sleep after trading the car. It is a 22 hour drive, 1100 miles. Nearly to LA. I am looking for someone to come with me who can drive manual. Call me any time. 509-280-6106. I will be leaving before 5pm thursday. Earlier the better. I got cash for gas and a place to stay, you need to bring food money for you. :)

About a year ago I flew to Anaheim and drove a car back non-stop. It's a long trip, but would have been a lot of fun if I had a passenger.

So, what car are you bringing back? I assume you're trading in the 88 Supra for something else?

Trading for a built 92 eclipse.. Im on the way there now.. Cell phone browsers are great!

Yeah...I hear that!! In May of 05 I flew down to the very SE tip of Texas and bought my Eclipse and drove it all the back back to WA....ALONE...lol. Did it in like 2 1/2 days too! heh...


Eric....if I was in Spokane still YOU KNOW I would be down!! =( ....that sucks!

That would be a long drive without a co-piolet to be sure.
I got my 350z from Oceanside, CA. Decided to have it shipped up rather then drive it though.

Now that's wheelin and dealin! Trade a busted ass 1G for a semi busted ass Supra and end up with a nice 1G. Outstanding.

Hey, c'mon now, im the one who got the busted ass 1g. And when its up and running no ones gonna believe its the same car. Ive done so much under the hood of that car.

talntid
10-15-2006, 10:57 AM
Lol.. This 1g needs paint, but it is mechanically in very good shape.. Body is real nice too.. Just needs paint and struts. Interior is perfect.. Almost to seattle.. Will be back in spokane later..

Well, we're in seattle, and I agree with Steve, I check my myspace on my phone all the time- for lack of better connection on my personal computer- its called Opera Mini, its like a miniature web browser that makes pages show up like a normal computer but on my phone. Anyway, so we'll be heading out to good ol' SpokAN in about an hour or so, should be there around midnight ( :( its raining here and no time to enjoy). Ciao!

Oh, btw, and Eric says, "The Eclipse is running great!"

We made it back all right. Got into Spokane around 12:30 AM this morning- yeah, it rained a LOT on our way over, luckily we had the AWD and not the RWD car :D

MustangGirl
10-16-2006, 03:07 PM
Yea, having a RWD in the rain can be not so much fun heh. I learned that real quick!

Dang there were a couple of wrecks on the pass, one going west near Ellensburg and the other going east near CleEllum. Missed them both!!! There is nothing like AWD!!! Especially in the snow and ice.
