You're in the Ballard neighborhood! Were you able to get all of your parts? There are a few good independent shops near you if you need more help.

You've taken some amazing photos along the way. I'm sure the C4S has accumulated several layers of dirt by now but she still looks beautiful in all those shots!! We are along for the ride with you, brotha!

Lots of bugs. It is a good thing I am not a clean freak.

These threads are priceless. I truly enjoy reading your endeavor. Thank you, Xavier.

If time permits, you should drive up either Mt Rainier or go up north, take a car-ferry to Whidbey Island and drive thru' Deception Pass.

Have a safe, fun-filled, epic trip.

Thanks . I do the belts Friday in my friends driveway. I think I'll be ok. I will keep the ones I take off just in case another one pops on the way back home.

Do one, do all three. Cheap insurance! I'll offer the other two if you want.

Thanks. My AC belt is newish but I will buy your AC belt for the trip home. Good insurance.

I am getting ready to head to Capital Hill right now and visit the shop.

I just bought another set of belts for the ride home just in case.

Great to meet you Michael! What a swell trip. Now I'm psyching myself up to drive to meet my dad for his family reunion in Little Rock of all places.

This is the place (Senor Moose) I recommended for Mexican tonight in Ballard btw. Hit Ocho in the same neighborhood for drinks after.

Thanks! It was great meeting you too.

If you ever find a Mark I GTi in a pawn shop, let me know and I'll buy it.

Also, thanks for the restaurant tip. That is what we are eating tonight.

Excellent taste in shoes and music (and, of course, cars).

The Misfits sticker on a 993 is way cooler than a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.
