Well just to let everyone know, the Portland Auto Show is coming up January 31st - February 3rd. I'm thinking about going on the afternoon of Saturday the 1st right now. Anyone up for getting together for that? Some of you may remember coming down last year, that was pretty fun. Anyway thought I'd let everyone know that it was happening. If you feel like meeting, put your thoughts in!

I will be there for sure. I was at the meet last year as well. I'm not sure if I will be going on Sat. or Sun. because I'm waiting to see when my friend is available. I'll keep you informed.

That is either one hell of a deal on a 95 or you're insane!  There are probably 20 of them for sale on autotrader within 200 miles of Portland, most of which are under 4K! By some quick calculations you're going to spend at least $360 just on gas to get out there and back, not counting motels or food!

we calculated that up, so now we are flying one way down there, (got free tickets hehe) and then driving it back, 2600 only has 104k on it. they said it was in great condition. So we are gonna go get it. its cheaper in the long run, to do it this way, plus we both need a trip. Can't wait till he buys it, we will have another CEG in the northwest. Seems like we have a shortage of people around here lol. I am getting more one by one!!

Really? I just found some great deals on 1995 Contours around the seattle area on the classifieds through seattle times. All of them have less mileage than the one you are looking at for not much more than you are paying. And you won't have to rack up more mileage driving it cross country.
Here is a 95 with 97K for only $2750
Here is a 95gl 5 speed with 91K for only $3000
Here is a 1995 with only 59K for only $3550!

I will be at the autoshow sat. Can't wait to check out the cars!!  I'll be there from around 11:00ish to 5ish. So if anyone is planning on going tommarow and wants to say hi that would be great. Will take many digital shots with my crappy camera. Somethings better then nothing, right? Anyways, Call or text me on either of my cells (yes I am a phone whore) 503.998.9186 or 503.310.0740 (my name is Chris). I really want to start meeting some NWCEG's. Only a couple other auto junkies I know that I can talk to about cars  (although I really dont know much). Laterz.
