Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

HI?

 

That’s a negative. Welcome to the high desert where shit doesn’t rust.

 

Definitely somewhere in Iowa

 

One of the islands. Over in Maui for a bit. This was from Kaihalulu Beach known for its red sand and lava formations. Holy hell do these folks love their Tacos, saw 10 in less than 2 minutes headed to breakfast this morning. Sitting in Costco gas line right now and there’s another 7 around me (btw, this place has the biggest Costco I have ever seen )

 

Yeah, that Costco is massive. There was an article about tourists that would buy stuff there then return it when they would leave...a bunch of half consumed bottles of booze and used snorkel gear

 

we just needed one of the 40 count packs of water to hold us over for the week and I needed new swim trunks. Tourists are a-holes, yes I am a tourist here but from what I’ve seen so far on the road to Hana today, the majority just plain suck. It’s no wonder the locals in Paia were out with picket signs about a hotel being planned out that way.

 

When we were on the road to Hana one of the tourists almost went to blows with a local...neither wanted to pull over to let the other by. Total shit show.

 

rental company gave me a tank for a vehicle (Inifinit QX-80) despite reserving a small SUV. I pulled over every time I saw a local in my mirror and I was able. got plenty of shaka signs and honks in return. I knew I'd be going slow since my wife wanted to stop what seemed every mile or so and not being familiar with all the corners. definitely alot of close calls and maybe 2 were from locals, the rest what appeared to be tourists having no situational awareness.

 

Been enjoying the other side of the world

 

Thanks @RelentlessFab for taking care of me before leaving on my trip. Also thanks for the tour of the shop.

 

Anyone know who this is? AZ plates moving into his neighborhood in Winnemucca

 

Hey all,

Looking for a new/used shell in the Reno or Carson area. Any tips or suggestions on where to go?

 

There’s a black one on Craigslist right now.

 

Anyone have suggestions on a decent scrap metal yard?

 

My work takes all our stuff to SIMS and it’s a shit show. Took down one medium size bin and two electric motors yesterday and spent an hour and twenty minutes there. Not sure what other options are in town.

 

Sorry, I should have clarified. I want to buy scrap metal. Today, specifically, a 2'x2' like 20 or 22 gauge sheet and dont feel like paying box store prices for it

 

Maybe our local vendor has something lying around?

 

Maybe but that seems a little thin for his stout products.

 

I go to reno salvage on Toano st. To buy new metal.... they have a scrapyard next door with the same name on montello

 

Thanks! I'll check them out. Pretty sure that's where I bought the 3.5" square tube for my spring hangers.
