Chevy cruze not entirely aweful. The seat is decent, and the infotainment system is pretty good. Of course, any sort of technology in the cockpit is a step up for me.
Averaging 36.3 mpg.
With any luck, I won't have to stop again until I'm through Illinois.

Thanks. I gave it up to Ben.

For anyone interested in this kind of thing, if your GM digital fuel gauge tells you you have 35 miles left on a tank, the car is about to sputter and die in about 50 yards.
Thanks to the lovely people at this farm for letting me borrow a gas can.

I lost about an hour and a half, but I'm still making good time. I should get to Seattle around 930AM.

Oops, I meant Spark. The thing you posted is a cruze.

I'm in Washington now. I lost about 6 hours yesterday due to a massive biker rally. mlMore on that later. For now, here's a thing I saw at Yellowstone this morning.

That thing is so Pennsylvania.4444444444444444.


Extra 4s brought to you by this kitten. He's insane. I think he wasn't ready for hard food yet, he didn't eat until yesterday night when we put down some soft kitten food for him and he inhaled that shit.

And now today, SO MUCH ENERGIES. :giggle: He bites a lot.

Seattle today? When do you hit Portland? Working on the car today and at least some of tomorrow. Gonna PM you.

Monk 08-02-2015 10:34 PM

Yes, went to Seattle today. I thought it would be more like Portland. The dirtyness, urine smell, and congestion made it feel more like New York.
I'll be in Portland starting on the morning of the 6th and staying though the 8th.
I'm heading to Olympic now.

greddygalant 08-02-2015 11:22 PM

6th is a track day at PIR. Come out and get a ride with me!

Monk 08-03-2015 11:05 AM

Yes please. What time does it start?

You see any boat racing? If not, shame on you.

My dad is there right now, he said the same thing. Seattle sucks but the beer and food is good.

BMW day starts at like 8am. Make sure you ride with martin first in case we crash when you ride with me :bigtu:

aidandj 08-04-2015 07:21 PM

<p>Also you should stay through the 9th so we can have a work party on eds car.</p>

aidandj 08-06-2015 12:35 AM

Is monk even alive anymore? Did Seattle eat him up?

Monk 08-06-2015 02:23 AM

I am alive! I was in Olympic for the last few days, and there was zero reception the entire time.
Heading back to Portland in the morning.

turbofan 08-06-2015 06:51 PM

<p>Do you have an 850 area code?</p><p>When are we meeting up? Wanna do a go-kart thing or something? I'm open Friday or Saturday night. Work both days so it'd have to be evening for me.</p>

aidandj 08-06-2015 07:33 PM

<p>Let's kart Friday night.</p><p>@yank, @oregonmon, @curly, @greddygalant?</p>

Monk 08-07-2015 12:41 AM

Hey guys, I've been super busy doing groomsmen stuff. I'll sneak away for a while tomorrow, but I won't have a ton of time.
Yes, my area code is 850.
Thanks to everyone who gave me a ride today. It was a great time.
I've got tons of pictures from a real camera to dump when I get to a real computer.

greddygalant 08-07-2015 12:43 AM

Pleasure meeting you today Ryan, can't wait to see the photos

turbofan 08-07-2015 02:18 PM

<p>So, are we doing something tonight or what? Sykart? something else?</p>

aidandj 08-07-2015 02:26 PM

<p>I say karting too. Mostly because I've never been.</p>

yank 08-07-2015 04:04 PM

Maybe if somebody else is buying. Ha! I've been planning a night in for the last couple days but might be able to convince the girlfriend to go out for drinks in Beaverton / Hillsboro. Maybe meet up after karting? McNally's taproom?

aidandj 08-07-2015 04:59 PM

<p>I always assumed that a drink meetup was also occurring. Karting just sounded fun.</p>

yank 08-07-2015 06:32 PM

I'm going to try to bring the Miata out. Its on E85 now and i just got the passenger seatbelt installed so we can do rides. Big kid go-kart style. :party:

aidandj 08-07-2015 07:15 PM

<p>Soooo... is anything happening?</p>

turbofan 08-07-2015 07:36 PM

<p>Ben when are you available? Just talked with Monk about a half hour ago and his schedule is really up in the air. He said he'll let me know when he has more info. I texted Josh and I wasn't sure if his text back was an invite or simply a statement of his own plans.</p>

yank 08-07-2015 07:48 PM

The Girlfriend and i will be free in Hillsboro at 7:45 ish. She is down to meet up for drinks. Text me.

turbofan 08-07-2015 09:23 PM

Karting at sykart in tigard around 7. Meet someplace after for beverages.

Fairwell Oregon. Despite the mindnumbingly stupid policy of making someone else pump my gas for me, and then shutting down nearly every gas station within 30 miles of Boring at 9PM, I will miss you.
You have a very high concentration of good beer, excellent coffee, and ironic white people.
I enjoyed meeting all of you Miata people and your cars.

P.S.
Lol at Yank's hilariously legit pile of shit. Do want.

My head is unbelievable far above that roll bar.

turbofan 08-09-2015 12:47 PM

My joy is unbelievably apparent.
<br />
<br />And I think that's probably the very best way to describe Yanks car. Brilliant thing.

Monk 08-09-2015 12:51 PM

I just thought you were excited for the whisker tickles.

turbofan 08-10-2015 02:02 PM

<p>Who said I wasn't?</p>

Monk 08-10-2015 02:31 PM

Just made it home. Set a new personal best of 33 hours. I could have made it in 32 if certain fast food employees in Idaho hadn't been so ironically slow.
And now I'm off to work. FML.
