Dan (yahu),
Nice to finally meet you I was nice bs'ing. The kids were very well behaved! No one usually tells you anything about your kids unless they're a nuisance, so I figured I'd let you know that your kids rock. Oh yeah... thanks for the heat shield, borrowing the APS, and using your bathroom. (I'll appologize for Fred putting it on blast)

007WRX,
Nice! I'm in Bellingham so if you need some help just let me know. EcuFlash Equipped!

gtmittens,
nice meeting you. You missed out on karting.


For everyone who always asks what Paccar is and what I do... Paccar manufactures Peterbilt and Kenworth Trucks...

Here's our test track and facilities in Mount Vernon (where I work)

I do the fun stuff.

^Thanks, Eric! How big is that test track? Do they ever let you test non-commercial trucks out there? Is it even worth it? When you say "fun stuff" do you mean hauling concrete?

We haul more concrete in a month than most construction companies do in a year lol. Well...it's the same blocks of concrete...we just move them a lot.

I was told that I could drive my car on the track on my last day (implying that I would be canned shortly there after) The picture in my signature was actually taken while my car was on the test track



I used to be in a test cell all day long...now I get to drive (when I say drive I mean ride) the trucks on the test track and offsite.

I might get to go to the Netherlands to work on some paper work with our European counterparts (DAF)

I think it's a 3 mile oval. I have no idea...it takes a while to make it around.

Well that is one way to get the message across. Of course now they've given you a creative way to say "I quit!"

Yea that was us there on the 14th Most of our friends are saying EVO is the way to go right now and all of our friends who actually track are saying EVO as well, I think Monica will get a ride in Brian's EVO (one of the owners of Forged Performance) soon

Hey guys, I'm David and I reside in Tacoma. No Evo, but I do get my hands dirty working on some of them. I know a few people who do own one, and absolutely love their Evos. I've been a lurker for some time, and I just wanted to introduce myself.

Hello NW people! I just moved up to the Seattle area this week. I'm temporarily living in Bellevue until I figure out where I want to get settled in. I'm a 31 year old former aeronautical engineer and current full time slacker. I look forward to meeting you all. I love driving my Evo so if you see a RR IX MR around, I'll be the guy with the stupid grin on his face behind the stearing wheel. I find it impossible to drive my Evo without a stupid grin on my face
