I'm flying out as soon as this storm lets me, but it might have to be after Xmas at this point. Coming out to buy an 01 ZX3 from Marc, and he's agreed to have another jetter take a peek and drive it around the block for me. I've already ran carfax and trust it's in perfect shape, and I'm flying asap to drive her back home!

If anyone can help out in the Beaverton area that would be great! I'll have to get you to coordinate with him when you both have time.

thanks!

I have seen, been in, and driven behind and in front of Marc's car. I will be down there this weekend, let me ping him and see if we can meet up. Last I saw the car it was in great shape.

Paul, was he at the first g2g I met you at? lol I forget all the people I meet!

He lives in my area, real close to Jason(deception) as well. we could all meet up and turn this into a meet! LOL!

the drive to SLC from portland is doable in one day. I would suggest staying a night though before the drive unless we are talking really early am flight.

I moved a friend from Portland to Denver. Did the first day to SLC. took about 16-18 hours if I recall. we were packing a lot of stuff going 55 most the time though. you could probably make it sooner. the biggest problem right now will be snow going through the pass's

what happened to seeing the car?

I fell asleep early tonight for work. I saw I missed a couple calls from Paul while I was zzz'ing :(

btw...this storm is not making a test drive very true :p

The test drive didn't happen yesterday. Paul called in the morning and the snow had already started to fall and accumulate pretty fast. Didn't want to risk the car going out and getting into trouble. I did let Dave (shikatoi) know that we didn't meet yesterday. He was cool with it. :)

We're just getting pounded here with snow and ice! I'm starting to get cabin fever! :lol:

well it's pretty much on it's way, just waiting for the trucking co to pick it up and bring it to me! sight unseen, kinda scary.. .but the carfax is good, two jetters backed him up, I think I'm excited! come home to poppa!

thanks for trying guys.. i know the weather has been crap lately

Let us know how it goes! The weather is hardcore out here!

10 inches of snow on the roads that are all rutted out...its brutal! watch out for man hole covers!! those are like potholes right now

well the shippers are bastards and still cant pick it up..

now that the weather is good, I'm back to plan A and trying to fly out between now and this weekend. still trying to find some rubber to slap on it before I drive back home, though.. found a few leads on craigslist.. gonna be a fun trip!

VACANCY! Good movie! :thumbup:

All went well, picked Dave up from PDX last night, got tires this morning (thank you Big O!!!), got breakfast, and off Dave went. I'm really glad a fellow jetter got my car - He's a good guy. :thumbup:
