2011 Wa State Mini Rally #5

So we get a call this morning from my brother-in-law and he says, "you want to come by and drive a 2011 Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe?" Is this a trick question, I ask myself. We arrive in the showroom and drool over the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador in flat black paint, that just arrived last week. I gotta say, its the first Lambo I've ever liked in person. Anyway I digress, he hands me the keys to the Roller and tells me to bring it back tomorrow. Aside from a helicoper, never operated something so expensive or nice. The bad part is I could sell ALL my toys (MV content) and still not have enough to afford one, maybe only a small down payment. Now I know why people like them, I'll never be an owner of one, but I can at least understand why. Now I gotta take it back :cry:
Next time, call your friends too! I can drool with the best of them.

Of course, I saw a Lambo a couple years ago at my Chiropractor's office. The guy that was driving it, a dealer, was letting my chiropractor borrow it for the weekend... Nice cars. But he didn't share either....:evil:

It's like this for me, a nice wine tastes good; Grey Poupon tastes just fine as well. The truth is, I'd rather have a beer and yellow mustard with my burger. My favorite car to drive is still my pickup (in a pinch I'll steal my wife's Raptor pickup). I was once a car guy, loved exotics and the like, now I bleed OD green. The champaign tasted good, now where did I set my beer? :beer:

Maybe the next rally should be at Stuart's BIL's place? Test drive some of the cars.

Not sure what they would think of all those true OD Green exotics on his lot!

The $470,000 wonder has gone back to it's proper home. They are trying to get us a Ghost next week, the Pinto of the RR line. :shock:

Somewhere :D . . . the small "cheap" RR. I should have said Yugo, it wouldn't have been so confusing. :oops:

I know why they trust me, but what's the point, I ain't ever gonna buy one unless it's in 1:24 scale.

Uh huh, yah right Scott. You're going over to Brad's to do a pre-rally look over of what Brad is selling before we see it...haha. I was thinking about parking. There's a ton of area around his shop for us to park. One place would the field that's off to the right as you enter and go down his road. It's the one where you have to drive down between his shop and caboose, then hang a right just after the pile of towbars. Then again, I'm sure all those once clear fields are probably filled up with brush by now:shock:

Harold it is the same place. Not sure what the exit number is. It's the same exit as if you were headed to Cabelas. Probably just google for the address and plug it into your gps. Of you get there early zy probably be there already....sleeping in his truck

South bound I-5: First exit top of the hill from Nisqually? Or second exit?

Marvin Road Exit.... First exit... I see it on Google Maps...

The Internet is our friend....

First exit at the top of the nisq valley. Then youll turn left and go over theoverpass. Then youll turn right at the second light ( right after the fuel station). Head down yo the turn about and youll see walmart.
