Default Intro

Hi All,
I'm an old hand in the AX RR and C3 forum but I'm new to the regional board.
I sold my last vette, the racecar in my avatar about 2 years ago and haven't owned a vette again until a few days ago.

I picked up a Quasar Blue 93' MN6 Coupe w black interior last Sat in the Bay area and drove it home, (5+ hours of snow) last weekend.

I'm already having lots of fun w the car and look forward to checking out the PNW tracks and instructing this Summer.

We moved to Gig Harbor about 3 years ago from Santa Cruz, CA.
So this is the first time I'm making my introduction to the PNW forum.
I'm a Chiropractor in S. Tacoma.

I look forward to driving and wrenching w Ya'll and making some new friends.

Here's pics from the classified ad. I bought her off the forum.

Thanks
Evan

Hello and welcome!! Sound like you have a LOT to offer us based upon your experience rather than what we can offer you!

Welcome for sure! I have yet to drive my 'Vette on the track here,... but I do know the track in an H production Rabbit, and would love to cut loose.

Again....welcome here....tell us more!

Yeah - but we have 3-4 really good months here!

I'm a NoCal transplant too (20 years in the Bay Area), and I've loved the last 7 years here.

Welcome to the forum Evan!

The weather is no bother at all. Actually the weather up here is milder than Seattle it seems. We keep looking for "rain". In So Cal when it rained the sky opened up and let loose... up here it does this misty spinkle thing like the misters in Palm Springs. I can handle that ! The snow was awsome...just 3-4 inches at a time and incredibly beautiful.

We're telling all our Calif friends its dark n gloomy and really awful up here and they dont want to move

Welcome to the PNW. I'm another California transplant (don't tell anybody) and I've been here since '81. The longer I'm here, the more I like it.

I'm over here in NE Tacoma...right now I'm Vetteless, but the group of guys here let me tag along on cruises in my Jeep. Just had a nice get together a couple of weeks ago with the group going to a couple of boat building places. Check the threads in this section to see some pics of the event...

My sig shows what I had up 'till a year or so ago. Looking to get into another Vette one of these years.
