Hey Ben.you guys are out there on Airport way. I think I talked to you about the cost of a Vibrant exhaust on my Mazda 3. see what you are up to and if anything else doesn't come up, come on over. oh btw the drive we'll be taking is alto less miles then those two places

update

well there is going to be a revision to the route. instead going all the way to Wheeler we are going to turn off at Miami River rd right before Garibaldi and drive it up to hwy 53 to about Mohler.

another idea I have is that I don't have really any good ideas to stop in Seaside ,I thought instead we could drive to the camp18 resturant on 26 and get a bite to eat. anybody else have any other suggestions?

Oh wow... I haven't been on that road in yeeeeears.

I spent 7 years living in Tillamook (sadly), so I've been all over that coast. :thumbs-up:

I'll think about it though. Might go and show you 3 guys what a real FWD Mazda is. :-X
