Yes, we like our pickup trucks in North Idaho... my daily driver is a 3/4 ton with a 8.1l liter.

Drove the car onto a boat last weekend.

Drove off the boat and into the town of Friday Harbor. Was only able to spend 2 days on San Juan island. But it was a great 2 days!

Took a short "test drive" to see how the new injectors were working. Noticed the shadow cast on my dash from my vent window sticker. Pat

Shawn,

You could have said "I drove my Roadster out of state today" to make it seem more glamorous. Congrats on the progress! Pat

That's an excellent point. I made it all the way into another state, past an airport, through construction, and to several impromptu car shows in 2 different parking lots (interested coworkers). Then back home again, in "traffic".

Round trip: 24 miles. Excited waving count: 6. Yelling "nice car" count: 3 (including one kid that had to be about 8 years old). Gawkers: countless. It was a good day.

Looks amazing. The idea of driving around an island in the roadster sounds very appealing.

Morning drive to the big city of Pomeroy, WA. Visited the Pataha Flour Mills for a tour and wonderful lunch. Wife disappointed the quilt shop I promised to stop by was closed. Warm drive home in the high 90's. Pat
