Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

The Calfire site says the VLAT has been requested. Which simply stands for "Very Large Air Tanker" (DC10) lol

 

And that VLAT just flew over my office on the way back to McClellan...

 

Such a cock tease... Came home to find the UPS guy leaving my patio. Started to think maybe my relentless skids are here, but the wife orders stuff all the time. See a giant package seemingly perfect for two skids and starting jumping up and down for joy. Turns out to be a wagon she ordered for the little dude

Soon...

 

I haven't been out that way for weeks. Here's the view from Santa Rosa today. I haven't noticed this either.

 

I noticed it blew towards your way this time. Last time I blew the smoke to Sacramento.

My buddy sent me this


There's currently 7 fires within town right now. We are having contra costa come in and help because all our units are dispatched.

 

View of it from mi casa in the MTZ

 

I don't let any of it get to me, not worth the energy. I just do a lot of head shaking when I read a lot of the posts on TW. I'm kinda like jberry, I'd say wtf? a whole lot less without this forum. I'm always happy to help anyone, but if I don't agree with you I'll say so. Around here that kinda thing makes you a dick if you don't agree with the collective.

 

Damn, playboy. Dat lyfe!

 

7?!

We've had 5 in Santa Rosa in 2 weeks that I've driven through or driven past smoldering grass after the fire was put out.

Wish I was more capable. I would really be interested in firefighting and wildland firefighting.

 

what are you selling? been looking for a nav console for the MRS.

 

Kalieaire, keep looking buster...

My navpod is staying in the box its been sitting in for 5 or so years.

I do have a push button start system that I helped develop many moons ago. I have a new kit still and also a TRD start button to go along with it.

Just sold my ARC Ti cooling plate and RexyPow console. I have a few sets of side skirts and two front lips. I am still looking to find some mud flaps.

0h, and the PPE Header/race cat downpipes combo will be off and for sale soon as well. I don't need all that noise anymore and the TTE can does a fine job of giving it a little burble.

www.mr2spyder.net much?

What year ya got

 

Nothing yet. I just started working again after two years, I'll probably be ready to buy by spring. I still have to lift the Taco, get a flippac, and do some mods to fit 35s.

But afterwards, it'll be for a canyon runner, planning to do the mwr 2zz swap after the first engine dies (if ever). I do 700 mile single day road trips, the MRS seems like a good fit.

 

I ripped out to Turtle Rock for Egg Rolls on Saturday to see if I saw any fire or smoke... all I saw was beers, mixed drinks, and hella egg rolls. It was amazing



Sucks though because there have been hella fires on the way home from work every day that cause traffic

 

So, you have a Spyder now? 0r are planning on getting one as they are exceptionally adept at 700 mile jaunts up and down the coast?

The 2ZZ is a great engine no doubt, but, I must say my little trusty 1ZZ has done well with the abuse I have put it through. Many CA36 trips done at a permagrin clip!

If you are a local Spyder owner, we may have met before at some local event. However, I will admit to being quite a bit less interested in the parking lot, tire kicking bs sessions.

I used to own a local repair shop and was getting a good amount of MR2 business but I just couldn't afford it in the end. I still have all my tools and still have a few locals who insist I do the wrenching on their cars.

 

I have a taco and an xB.

I'm really not into the import scene because it gets old fast w/ jackasses. If it's a few friends, that's fine because we have stuff to talk about, but otherwise I'd rather run through the full length of 25, 35, or 1.

When I do get the MRS, the plans are going to be really just handling/usability upgrades like ohlins, nav console, hard top, seats, wheels + tires, I'd probably consider putting in 14s if I could fit them over the brakes so I can get some thicker tires when I encounter less adequate pavement (ie dirt roads).

I really want to get my hands on a nav console though, i'd like to make a mold and make copies.

 

Here's a daily driver for anyone looking.. I got a giggle when I saw one cruising around Truckee on Saturday.
