It was. Ended way too soon 
Thanks bro!
I've always been a fan of OEM 2008 Liquid Graphite 
Well, we'll see. Since she's payed for and low miles I can't justify selling her. But maybe adding a 550i and/or a 2014 Mazda3 (I'm smitten lol)
Oh wow! That's going to be a great drive. Never been to the East Coast, but I've done a lot of traveling from Washington down to AZ/NV and Lived in Colorado so the wide open roads, high deserts, and mountains are just wonderful.
Thanks, yeah it's pretty nice with all the ammenties they need like full kitchen, washer/dryer, 3 bedrooms + loft, soon adding a garage. My parents are actually going up this weekend to look at property an hour away, considering retiring up there.
True, but very slowly am I parting out. Confused as to what ride I want lol. Yes, depending on where you are, once you hit 217 Tigard/Portland it gets a little congested but certainly areas like Crescent or Bend are very scenic.
True! love the Deschutes (love that word hah). I was born in Cali, had 8 homes here, 1 in Oregon, 1 in Colorado, and 1 overseas. But my parents are from Oregon and that's the one spot growing up and still now that has stayed consistent and feels like home. I know what you mean.
thanks
Yeah just enjoying the stockish look with some good grip abilities. Honestly I'd love to AutoX or 1/4 before summers end. People just add and add and add all these parts but don't use them. I've since gotten over my car has to look perfect ordeal. I love her and that's all she needs and still gets a bath at least once a week.
lol! You a Kings fan?! Don't worry I'm pretty level headed about my sports teams - try to be gracious win or lose.
Thanks! You can say that again!
I think he meant when I part out, my parts will go to CL
Thanks bro!
We will be sad to see you leave the Lexus family, but the 550i is an excellent option for your next car That car is on my radar as well. I love the way the new 5 looks. Very classy and elegant.
I agree with your assessment of the 3IS. I'll be keeping my 2IS for many years to come and may look at BMW, Audi, or Mercedes down the road (although I may look at Lexus if the RCF or other F models pan out when I'm in the market!)

I live this lifestyle, thanks for sharing. I plan on making the trip in the 350 from VA to Arizona and hike the Havasu Falls and then head to Yosemite and take the northern rte through minesota and michigan and end up in NY for a couple nights then head back down to VA...it'll be like 7k miles total or something. I've lived in East Coast all my life and i want to drive in the west with the mountains, look so peaceful.

Awesome trip! Thanks for sharing Hoovey2411. I agree with your clean/classy v uber-mod. But you had (and still have!) one hell of a ride. 
Although I cant agree with your Hockey choice, my GF screamed "hell yeah! :grunts: NorCal knows how to do it." when she saw it.
She is sad to see the car slowly reverting back to stock though. GL on the V8! Should be a nice upgrade.

Oregon is a beautiful place to visit - I lived there for 6 years and ripped up most of the fun roads in the state with my S2000 crew. We stayed at Cresent Lake lodge a few years ago when we did our Crater Lake drive.
Next time you go up there you need to hit McKenzie Pass - amazing road that climbs from the valley at 1800 ft to the top of the pass at some 5200 ft.

I have a friend I'm visiting in Portland for Labor Day. Making the Portland-Seattle-Vancouver trek.
Great thing about that state is you can buy online, ship it to Oregon, and pick it up or have them ship it to you
If you're wondering, I bought a camera, which would have been $200 in tax.

Funny enough, both my parents work for Chevron, both my aunt and uncle work as Pharmacists for Fred Meyer, and my other aunt and uncle work for AAA

Enjoyed the pics and scenery. Spending time with family in a pretty setting is priceless.
Agreed, love the stock rims on a lowered IS. The ultimate factory stealth look.
Now, about those plastered midges! Perhaps, lowered cars pick up more debris on the front because there's less room for air to sweep underneath the car (?). Or maybe midges hover closer to the ground and therfor a lowered car picks up the most.

Absolutely it is. My mom's entire side of the family lives in Aloha (between Hillsboro and Beaverton) and my dad's is from Washington but all live in Washington, Oregon, Cali, and Arizona. When I was really little we lived there so I haven't had the pleasure of terroring up too many roads. McKenzie Pass that's up in the Willamette National Forest if Im not mistaken. My parents are looking to retire in Bend which is about an hour away.
Yes I love the no sales tax, and I LOVE Fred Meyer's. They get you in the property tax though

I lived in Beaverton for 6 years - right near Baseline and 185th. Very close to Aloha.
