Oregon and Washington BS thread

Yeah gresham got a hail storm in the late spring too.

 

On I5-S just past the Broadway/Weidler exit where it merges from 3-to-2 lanes, it never fails that some dip shit doesn't let me in for using the lane as it was designed. I can't help that I know how to zipper/merge correctly

 

Yeah we gotta virtue signal how great citizens we are by getting over and causing a backup for MILES before the merge. Meanwhile a thousand new people a day make Oregon their home and aren’t familiar with the roads and this stupid dance that we do. These poor bastards are then hung out to dry by the socially conscious progressive turned road-raging finger-wagging asshole. Everybody ends up pissed off, lanes go unused and it’s completely unavoidable if we could just merge where we’re supposed to. Such a stupid time to be alive.

 

After I moved up here it was weird for a bit. I still get nervous when they crank down my locking gas cap.

 

@El Duderino this is beer den in sandy.

 

Well I learned that the MT Tacoma’s don’t like Idaho’s 80mph speed limit on the freeway....
Slow lane for me

 

Looks like a place I plan to visit.

 

My AT did 80 just fine, just f'n stayed in fourth gear

 

MT holds 80+ perfectly fine in 6th, but it’s running at 3k killing my gas

 

Same here, I just came back over Snoqulamie this afternoon doing 80mph and about 11mpg

 

So who in the Portland area rebuilds shocks.

 

Mach1 Motorsports in Hillsboro does. I have a set of Kings I’m about to take to them. The owner Vince seems like a real cool dude.

 

Anybody willing to receive and hold a skid plate for me for 24hrs? Seller can drop off near PDX airport Friday Oct 4th before 10am (they are driving from The Dalles) but I can’t get down there till Saturday morning Oct 5th. I would also be able to shuttle small-medium items to and from Tacoma WA area if needed.

 

Nice let me know the turn around on that

 

I'm right at PDX if you want I can hold for you.

 

Thanks, I’ll pm you to talk details!

 

RANT, mainly because the commercial made me laugh and struck a nerve.

This is TW nowa days.. I know most of you haven't been around forever. I've only been a member since 2009 I think? But TW used to be about getting out, having fun with each other. Not a contest on followers, who's got more crap bolted on their rack, or just taking FSR pictures..

Well this is it, gear bought and bolted on never used. Taking pictures with filters #overland

 

I just recently posted something about wanting to meet more people... in Oregon... since Seattle at meetups are already going strong.
