NW Cruise tomorrow, 8-21 (my first one)

Hey guys just wanted to tell you that Im taking part in a Cruise with some of the guys overhere. A Nabisco crowd, and I have not met any of them yet. Should be interesting. I'll try to take pictures and let you guys know how it goes. Just thought I'd share.

Laters,
Dan

Dunno know yet. Western Washington is beautiful, the drive we are going to go on should be good. But as far as the impreza scene overhere Im not too impressed. Nobody waves, and usually the only acknowledgement you get is them rippin' off or getting revvved out. Lots of ricers drive subys overhere it sucks.

First off, I worked all night Saturday night, and then went straight to the cruise. So I was friggin' tired. Where the cruise was was on the Peninsula of Washington, and you have to take a ferry from Seattle to get overthere. Well some guys were leaving (on the ferry) from Edmonds (me inculded) and some were leaving from futher north. Well the tides were messed up so the further north guys had their ferries cancelled. So to make a long story short 7 subies (the Edmonds guys) all sat at a QFC for about three hours waiting for the rest to show up.

It sucked. Some of the guys drove like idiots, revving every chance they could. Some of they guys don't know jack about their cars. I was very disappointed. On the bright spot two Skylines showed up from the North crew (along with the fast and the furious honda and others) Was not a very big suby turn out. So I was very very very home sick (and yes I consider Hawaii as home eventhough Im haole. Home is where the heart is.) So that was the short version.

I really really miss you guys, I have been home sick a lot over here but Sunday really hit me hard.

Laters,
Dan

Oh yeah the guy with the SWRT stickers reminded me of Nate until I talked to him. Tryin' too hard to be cool. (Guess I shouldn't talk too much ****, Im just disappointed.) But reminded me about one of Nate's qualities that he is not affraid to be his ogre self.

So how's your new APS?

Liking it?

I use to live in Oak Harbor...Whidbey Island...you should head over there sometime...about 2 hours North of Seattle....

Head toward Mt. Vernon/Anacortes...there will be a junction in the road to either go to Anacortes or Whidbey island...head toward Whidbey...to get there, you will have to cross the Deception Pass bridge...make sure you get out prior to the bridge to check it out...awesome site...swirling whirlpools and all...kind of spooks you out thinking about getting pulled down...

Yeah, it's hard to beat the cruises here...mature and fun...
