Actually looks pretty solid, I like the campy wheels and the Recaros. We're going to be in Port Townsend in a couple of weeks, I'll keep an eye out.
I see quite a few of 2002 beaters around town in WA. The PNW is full of not-so-pretty 70’s classics. Lots of running volvos and mercedes.
...honey, it followed me home..."she" would even go for this. Has an honest respectability about it...
Agreed, it seemed pretty solid in person. It was parked outside the Maritime Center near Point Hudson. My money is on it belonging to somebody in the wooden boat building workshop there.
It is said that those wheels were put on Automatics to help move them off the dealer’s lots.
My daughter's boyfriend is attending the wooden boat building school there, he's name is Noah. I kid you not.
He continues to pursue his dreams.
She's grounded, college grad with honors, with a good job. Frustrating but you can't pick who they pick.
I feel your pain...though with the rains we are getting in California that wooden Ark may come handy. Scott could have used it in Sanibel...My daughter's boyfriend is attending the wooden boat building school there, he's name is Noah. I kid you not.

E9 world keeps getting smaller. A friend of mine services his sailboat there, and had pulled a number of deck hands from that school.

I binged this wooden boat builder’s YouTube channel over the holidays. He’s been restoring a 109 year old wooden sailing yacht for over 5 years. It’s a fascinating process. He purchased it out of dry dock in Portland for $1.00. It was due to be scrapped. Currently in it’s final stages in Port Townsend. I’d let him marry my daughter in a heartbeat.My daughter's boyfriend is attending the wooden boat building school there, he's name is Noah. I kid you not.

Brookings is a lovely little beach town where we stayed one night on a trip up the Oregon coast.
John Steinbeck's "yacht" the Western Flyer is being restored in Port Townsend, although we never caught sight of it.

Western Flyer: The Vessel of John Steinbeck | Filson Journal
On the morning of Monday, March 11, 1940, writer John Steinbeck and marine biologist Ed Ricketts boarded the sardine seiner Western Flyer at a wharf in Monterey, California. Both men were moving slowly because a fiesta to celebrate the end of fishing season had gone on late into the night after...

Here in Florida, some of the carpenters make well above 80/hr... and that was last I checked before COVID. Probably much more now. That can afford a decent life provided one doesn't fall into the substance abuse traps in which so many tradespeople find themselves. Dad's been restoring a locally-built boat, a Rybovich, for some time, and in the process I've absorbed quite a bit through osmosis. Lots of attrition in the field, much like with ye olde cars, and like with many things, talent and money is coalescing at the extreme ends of the market. In fact, some of the high end carpenters I've met do a lot of woodwork for some of the car restoration shops around Palm Beach, or do a bit of work here and there in high end homes and offices. Wood is wood, I guess!My daughter's boyfriend is attending the wooden boat building school there, he's name is Noah. I kid you not.

There's been a bit of a renaissance in the construction of classic-type boats. Brooklin, a neat little yard up in the northeast, built a remake of Hemingway's boat, the Pilar, see here:
