Eat your heart’s out :D ... In Tulsa we were in the low 120’s for 87 octane and for a brief time some stations were sub $1.00!! Including Sams Club.

Ok, that's nice.
Do you have a picture of your roadster driving this past weekend to contribute to this thread?

What is this midnight trash-talking about me not driving from our resident bad boys, Alvin and Ted? :roll: :twisted:
Here I am working on a new problem no one has ever discovered before, no horn due to a worn hub contact area, and this is the thanks I get! :smt017 :smt018 :-P
One day I will be driving, and honking the horn too :smt020

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

Roadster Drive to Ohop Lake near Eatonville. 5-29-20. 180 miles.
Nice local drive in my favorite roadster. 1964 1500.
South along the Cascade Foothills. Some afternoon clouds. About 80. Good views of Mt Rainier.
Spotted a nice roadster near Black Diamond. Another "new" roadster to the community.

Get those fun runs in while the weather is good. Talk about wide open spaces....
Any landmarks you can take a pic of with your car?

Oh please DO forgive me oh great one... so sorry to irritate you.
Actually, I'm working on my car, always looking towards improving it. We plan to do many great trips, but I probably won't post pictures of gas stations.
Drive on.

Sunday drive through Big Basin with friends

Two new cars, Rob's 1970 240z and Glenn's 1994 Civic.

This is a one-owner Series 1 in Safari Gold:

The EG Civic is a "CX" model making it very light. So many goodies from the JDM Type R motor, Ohlins DFV coil-overs and Te37s. 1810lbs!

Very crowded on HWY 9 but there were some fun stretches:
