(Spirited Drive) Paradise Road Saturday 5/23/15

NoSHAM3 · 05-20-2015, 09:11 PM

A friend and I (MTRIGUERO) want to run the mountain Saturday morning. It is a holiday weekend so the earlier we get going the better. Here is a rough game plan.

8 am meet at Krispy Kreme in tacoma
830 am leave for the mountain

Try to come all fueled up....
If people need gas we can fuel up in La Grande

Round trip time is about 4hrs
Should get back around 1pm

Park entrance fee is $15

Looks like it's going to be a nice day for a drive! I should be able to make it.

What are the chances that will happen?

jimmec · 05-21-2015, 04:48 PM

Im hoping my chances are good.

Otherwise, I'll be really losing faith on bmw bellevue's service department... It was supposed to be a bad O2 sensor, then more warnings led to replacing some temperature sensor + harness. They said I could get it back yesterday, 2 days ago. So not sure what the problem is now...

Being a first time car owner, not really sure if this is to be expected from a check engine light appointment.. they've had the car for about a week and half.

But if I come, I'll probably bring a friend with a non m. I heard you guys don't discriminate

Great time yestersday! It was a little foggy at Paradise, but the drive up and back down was really fun.

NoSHAM3 · 05-24-2015, 12:36 PM

Great pix! That Challenger was menacing...

Welcome to the board! It was nice meeting you and seeing/hearing that beast of a car in person. That exhaust note makes the S65 sound so mundane haha
