Perfect BBQ weather! I really hope all of you guys can make it!

Maybe I'll stop by ..

 

I wonder if we should go for a longer cruise than just around Alki park. Plus that place on a Sat afternoon will prolly be congested with traffic. What are some nice long cruises in Seattle area?

 

I'm not sure of any good places to cruise in Seattle..... I think you will have to go a bit more south for that.... Alki is always fun but a lot of cops!

I recall seeing some kind of anti-cruising sign at Alki. Was I just tripping out on something or is the such a thing?

 

Thats actually true. Same thing with Ruston Way in Tacoma. But if you guys don't rev your engine and drive all fast, you will be ok. They are more worried about the street racers.....

Do not worry about the anti-cursine, it only if you are seen three or more times in a hour. But if you do not have a front license plate stay away from Alki as you'll probably will get ticketed. Comes from experience.

 

I hope you're kidding about the front license plate thing.

 

no you'll get ticketed w/out front plates regardless of Alki cruise or not. if a cop has a bad day he get nail you on just that. also, when you park at the Seatac airport garage u'll need front plates... same goes for crossing the CAN/US border...

i dont think Alki Ave is such a good place to cruise... there's a volleyball tournament there + sunny day + weekend = lots of traffic... it'll be more of a lineup than a cruise for the Z's... what about a cruise east on I-90, then around Lake Sammamish? or down Burien Hwy then back up on I-5? or we can stick with HarbourAve-AlkiAve-BeachDr as planned...

 

Maybe instead of a cruise down Alki, we can all gather at the boat launch parking lot and snap some photos w/ the the Seattle skyline as background? It'd make for some really nice pics for this forum.

It's been my experience that there's really no place w/in 30 minutes of Seattle where a group like this can go cruise (ie: see JRO drive '05 thread). For this group of Z/G cars and drivers; cruising may be about as satisfying as standing still w/ the engine idleing (You guys know who you are... don't try and deny it!).

I like the idea of heading east, but I think we should head WAY east. Out to Northbend and places beyond. We'd also need to get everybody's agreement to behave ourselves until we see it fit to relax. But I'm cool w/ just a legal cruise to just about anywhere.

 

Man I wish I could make it. I got screwed with a work assignment.

I'll have to just stop by when I'm up that way in July.

 

I think since we only do this ONCE a year (at most) I don't mind driving a little further, spending 1/2 my Saturday and burning 1/4 tank of gas for a nice Z/G cruise.

Maybe we should do a Poll. I'm thinking after the BBQ, we can head east on I-90, then up along East Lake Sammamish Pkwy, turn around and gather at Lake Sammamish State park for photoshoot...

 

Maybe we should head up to the University district and have a balloon fight with the local UW sorority girls haha.

P.S. Weather is suppose to be perfect on Saturday!

 

Skyline has now just arrived!




Hova

 

I'll be there with cookies, soda and some other snacks/sides. And my camera, of course.

I just moved here a few weeks ago from California, I'm voting to drive somewhere eastward, I haven't been out to Lake Sammamish yet, nor points further east.

Gotta go wash the car now.

 

shoot i won't be able to make it but one of my team members is coming with his wife and taking my Z up there

 

BBQ day bump! Hope everyone will be here today!

 

I had fun!

Thanks World One, enjoyed the entertainment. Lucky were didn't tour Alki, the traffic was backed up to Spokana street. Typicial this time of year.

 

Its great seeing all the nice rides today. Thanks for setting up the BBQ Hova!
