My wife and I, plus my brother and his wife stayed a night in the Flintstone's campground a little south of Grand Canyon South Rim

I have been behind the wheel of the Flintstone's car, That is my sister-in-law inside the Flintstone's RV!

Saw a 1M for the first time.

I guess he is a UT fan.

I was almost going to mention that campground

But I think that is Barney Rubble's ride

I saw a Euro-spec Golf TDi on the way home today.

I thought it was odd that the US plate was taller than the plate opening in the bumper allowed (so the bottom of the plate was exposed). When I passed it, I noticed that it had a Euro-sized front plate holder (but no plate inside).

The car had commercial plates and a messenger service logo on it. But it also had lettering that said something like "part of a commercial fleet test for the US Dept of Energy" with the following url on it:

I saw a 1M the other day. Nice. They are the best looking current production BMWs out there.

Saw a Lambo Aventador this afternoon... In yellow (as if it needed more attention)...

lupinsea · 02-20-2012, 01:17 PM

Saw a Posche Boxster Spyder (the light weight one with the canvas roof flap).

It was parked in front of some pub as we drove through the Snoqualmie valley on our way home from breakfast at he Salish Lodge.

I know that a guy 4 doors down from my new house has an E34 4 door that I see him drive regularly (badges removed so I don't know what it is) Yesterday he had his garage door open, and inside was another 2 door E34 and a yellow E34 M3 that looked like a garage queen (the other 2 door had some road dirt, but the M3 was spotless)

Nice collection, I have to meet this guy.

Oh, and he also has a tow truck parked in front of his house, so I guess he is all set if/when any of the BMW's break down

Oh!! breakfast by the waterfall!! I always wanted to stop there. You should have seen 202 down the hill from the lodge a day or two after the snow/ice storm!!! It looked like a tornado or bomb blasted there! Trees everywhere, and a lot of gaurdrail damage from the fallen trees.

Have you ever stopped at that store in the center of Carnation with all the old cars?? Gio cars
