On Sunday, some of the NWC regulars got together and organized a drive to Yakima to grab some burgers, and enjoy some of Washington's finest roads along the way. We met up at a local Target to kick things off, and grabbed a couple coffees before we headed out.

The sky was perfectly clear, and the roads were some of the best I've ever driven on. We headed down through Rainier National Park and through the dense forests surrounding the mountain, giving us some nice and swoopy alpine roads.

We pulled over for a sec to be treated to some pro donk status; top this Jeremy:

Once we got out of the forests it was basically desert the rest of the way, ambient temp was maxing out right at about 100.

Pictures just don't capture it all, but thank you so much to everyone who rolled out, I had a blast. Gotta try and throw together at least one more before the weather turns to crap.

Thanks t-town for organizing this beautiful drive. Here are a few shots from my iphone camera so quality not the best but you get the idea. Our volvo is currently engineless so t-town was kind enough to let us roll out with the coupe. I sure love living here so much to see and so much beauty.

george's car i would think :tup:

my car hates hot weather, it would not have had fun on this drive :lol:

Your car hates running for more then 2 weeks in a row. :lol: No, the Z3 M Coupe would beat me. I know from experience. I do know how to quickly disable the car though. :ph34r:

I haven't ran against the Z4 M Coupe. Might have a chance with that one.

That's a negative lol the mcoupe is nuts

Like you would know. You have never seen them matched side by side.

Nope - we ran them last season.

Well, the driver anyway :)

so im assuming it is far from stock...ive driven a couple m coupes and my dad owned one for a while, didnt get me to excited <_<

It is stock outside of shocks and a front sway. I run it autocross events in Bstock class. It's a 2002

Like you would know. You have never seen them matched side by side.

He rode along with me :)

315 hp didn't get you excited?

nope, it was an 01 but 01 and 02 should have the same s54...just didnt do it for me, but maybe i was comparing too harshly to the turbo s52 i rode in all the time :lol:
