Hey everyone, I grew up here in the Puget Sound and left 8 years ago for the Army. I got out a couple of months ago and am finally back home, along with a new family!
I've been driving a 1984 Berlinetta as a commuter nearly every day going on 3 years. I just picked up a new car in Auburn off of Craigslist -- an '86 TPI Z28 for a STEAL and am currently getting it back in 100% working order. The Berlinetta is going to have to find a new home shortly.
I was steered here from a PM on TGO, I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm thrilled there's a PNW community out there for us!
-Austin

Thanks! Sucks to hear, but everything happens for a reason. Here's a positive, there's not a better place to relocate to than here unless you drive a convertible, motorcycle, or have leaky T-tops!

I lived here when I was younger and my dad was in the navy, retired out and we went to AZ where I later joined as 35T, towards the end of my ait (13months) I blew out the cartilidge in my ankle and they said tough luck heres disability and severence
Its all good though I've been a car audio installer for the past year and a half and in a few months its back to DOD in the shipyard can't stay away from it its how I was raised lol

Haha Thanks a lot. To be honest my Berlinetta's t-tops leak too. I've lived all over this country and a handful of others in the last 8 years, there isn't a better place to call home regardless of weather!
