Hi folks, I just moved here from SF and wanted to say hi to all the i-clubbers in the area. I do know how to search and stuff - but I am looking for info on any of the following if you have a sec and want to chime in, I'd really appreciate it.

Rally-X - I've competed in two Rally-X in Cali, and would love to keep participating.

TSD Rallys - I've done a few including the BAIC series and the TRNT in Oregon. Any Subie specific TSD's around?

Alignment shop - any good places to go for alignment? I used a guy with a cool laser alignment machine in SF so I'm looking for similiar - always handy after a Rally-X.

Car Wash - sounds silly but are there any good "touchless" car washes around Seattle? I hate the ones with the machine scrubbers - they are hard on the paint.

Thanks again in advance, and I'll be sure to give a thumbs up to any of you I see around.

Hmm.. i dunno about the other stuff, but a good brushless car wash is one in Edmonds.. i am not sure where abouts you live in seattle.

Welcome to Seattle by the way. :)

welcome to the rainy city!

Thanks guys - the rain is not so bad, right? Like, it's not like this all the time is it? Is it? :)

Casey

oh it's just beginning my friend, just beginning!!! we get rain like 9 months of the year.. compared to san fan you're going to hate it!!!!

Yeah the rain's rather depressing, but you get used to it. As far as a brushless car wash - go to the Brown Bear ones at the 76 Stations. I think those are the best (brushes suck!). Welcome - hope to see you around!

Dewey

P.S. What area are you in?

Thanks for all the words of encouragement! :)

I'm living in Belltown. I'll take a look at the Brown Bear car washes. I've seen a few already (not at 76 stations) that seemd to have nasty looking brushes. My car is filthy from the drive up, can't wait to get it clean!

Fact: It Rains more in Texas than here.

Welcome NW Noob. :)

Well, as far as the 76 stations go, I guess not all of them have the brushless car wash. :( Anyway, if you're out in Monroe (my old stomping grounds), there's a great one there!
