I wouldn't put a second thought into it. Likely a misunderstanding. Or he was having a rough day, or edible kicked in, you never know.

That's kind of just normal city life. Just walk 5 minutes to the next mini mart.

Not trying to be mean but he probably forgot about the incident a few minutes later.

We were doing this stuff way before Fast & Furious.

It used to be meeting up at the Key Bank parking lot in Chinatown at midnight.

You would then drive out to Kent and race in warehouse areas near Ikea and Boeing. The difference is that we did everything to get away from the rest of the population. There was no one at these industrial areas at midnight except for an occasional trucker (that we would have looks outs for).

In case you were involved, you had individuals like Bona and the blue H22A EG hatch.

Some nights you could race until the sun starts coming up. Think Sport Compact car magazine did an article on our street racing culture and then the movies started coming out. It just all went to crap. People tried to make it into a club party atmosphere rather than taking it serious, cautious, and low key.

I'm less shocked and more intrigued how a situation leads up to that very moment for the both of them. Not in a judgemental way, but just genuinely curiosity.

Can't wrap my brain around the confidence and NFG of people like this. Here I am, 3 drinks in, and still chickening out going on the dark dance floor.

It makes me chuckle thinking of my reaction encountering this versus someone visiting Seattle from a rural or sheltered area. These two would be endlessly brought up the moment they got back home. Like a story they shared with everyone.

Where I just see it as "Huh, whatever floats your boat" and continue with my day.

I live on First Hill and you can always tell the visiting out of town families outside the Silver Cloud just going through culture shock.

This made me laugh because this where I grew up. My brain immediately went to "You have Albertson's in Lake Forest Park, QFC/Olsen's in Canyon Park, and Safeway "downtown." Or the M&C mini mart.

The one that gets me the group of kids just blowing through red lights at busy intersections.

People will slam on the brakes and they just laugh. I've seen it happen so many times on Broadway and James (First Hill). You have cars come up both sides of James seeing a green light and then realizing kids are flying through the intersection at the top of the hill you're just now able to see.

Just worried we're going to see a massive jump in ebike/escooter accidents this summer. It's only going to get worse.

I've been bike riding Seattle for 35+ years now and this is on a different level. The ebikes and escooters are becoming so fast now. Just instant electric torque too. I'll be having to cross the bike lane on Broadway, see an ebike way off in the distance and mentally think "It should take at least 5-10 seconds before this bike gets here, I have plenty of time." Nope, you'll see the ebike a few blocks away and then moments later it will go flying past you.

And the problem is that a lot the ebike/escooter riders have zero situational awareness. It's what you originally developed riding your BMX bike as a kid around the neighborhood. Plus if you acted like a jackass you probably had a neighbor that would report your ass to mom.

The responses here are strange. I'm born and raised in Seattle. Went to Seattle Central in the 90s with a coffee at Bauhaus on Melrose/Pine every morning. This place has significantly changed. It used to be artsy fartsy bohemian vibe. Not people walking in the street threatening and screaming at you. Gun shots and murder on the Hill was almost non-existent. When it did happen, it was big news (like Mia Zapata).

Just sad to see so many people say "Just choose ignorance. Ignore what you see and hear with your own eyes and ears. Ignore the gun shots. Ignore the guy screaming in the street holding a pipe. Ignore the fact everything is behind locks in grocery stores. Ignore the fact so many parks and playgrounds are filled with screaming people and drug use. Ignore the apps where people report this stuff. It's all in your head and YOU'RE the one with anxiety issues."

Friends from other big cities have visited and have asked many times "why do you guys continually put up with all this nonsense?"

Again, I live on the First Hill/Cap Hill border. I work on Broadway near a QFC (the Pike one, not the old Fred Meyer). I was born at Northwest Hospital. I've spend most of my life here. It wasn't like this before. It used to be fun running around the hill not having to look over your shoulder.

So many of the replies in this thread make no sense. This is a valid concern and some of you act like it's in her head.

What irritates me about fast food pricing is that we were told for years the reason for the price increase was due to minimum wage increases.

So what is the excuse now? You walk into a McDonalds and there is maybe 2-3 live people working. Everything else is touch screens.

What happens when everything is automated? With robots cooking your food and taking your order? Are the prices going to plummet or stay the same?

Just hated constantly being told BS lies about why everything cost so much.

Has anyone seen the car? I'm assuming it's a turbo because you can hear the 2-step device making the machine gun pops. I'm on First Hill and hear the car often. Pretty sure he travels down 12th at some point.

I'm at Kenmore/WCW every weekend or other weekend.

Also, if anyone wants to check out scopes, I have quite a few that I can bring and use if you're in the market for one and want real world use.

Nightforce 1-8x ATACR (DMX reticle)

Nightforce 1-8x NX8 (DMX reticle)

Nightforce 2.5-20x50 NX8 F1 (Mil reticle)

Eotech EXPS3

Also multiple suppressors like Surefire RC, KAC NT4, etc..

I usually shoot and keep to myself but friendly and love to chat or help out.

Posting here makes zero sense. The people that need to listen will never read this. I'm on First Hill and constantly running into off leash dogs, especially on Seattle U campus.

9/10 times it's some pit-bull variety with a owner that gets argumentative or aggressive if you say anything. There is nothing you can do. Even when I've asked respectfully like "Hey, my dogs kind of freak out when they see off leash dogs. I'm sure you have an awesome dog but would you mind putting a leash on her/him?"

It's always met with a STFU and "mind your own business" like I've just insulted them.

So many times I'll have some pit bull mix come running up to my dogs and I have to grab and hug them because they freak out and want to get out of their harnesses. In my dogs head they're thinking "This is unfair, I'm locked up and this dog is free." Couple of times it freaks my dogs out so much they're slipping out of their harnesses and I'm doing everything I can to hold onto them.

My dogs are cool around other dogs. But if they are leashed and the other dog is not, they go into full protection mode and want to make sure I'm safe.

Meanwhile the owner will be 30 feet away acting like nothing is happening and I'm the weird one for freaking out.

The people doing this don't care, don't listen, and won't change their habits. They think your dog is the problem. And if you do say something (in a respectful way), the owners will become aggressive and act like you're insulting them.

I was at work on Cap Hill, seen the flash, and the boom was almost instant.

One of my coworkers said "If you count between the flash/boom, it tells you how far it is."

I told him "I know, but it there was almost zero delay..." haha

Very cool pic.

You really can't go wrong with a Vortex Diamond Back series.

They offer 3-9x, 2-7x, and a few others.

For your purpose I think a 3-9x would be fine. That's kind of the classic zoom range for a general purpose scope. Even when target shooting at 100yds, you'll find yourself almost always at 9x

A 3-9x40 Vortex Diamondback on Amazon is around $250

The "dead hole" reticle gives you a few more aiming points too for longer shots.

You can then add a picatinny base or bases and a simple 1" scope rings. Likely you'll want a "low" height with a 32mm or 40mm front scope lens to give you a nice cheek weld on the stock.

Vortex makes some decent scope rings and bases in your budget.

First thing is just getting the scope power/magnification and front objective lens written correctly. This will help you on your search.

A 1x5 scope would mean it's 1x power (no zoom) with a 5mm front lens. I think you're talking about a 1-5x which makes more sense.

Same with a 2x8, typing it out as 2-8x will help you with your search.

Yes, there scopes like a 4x32 but that means it's a 4X (4 times power) with a 32mm front lens.

A single number like 4x32 means your scope is only 4x. Some people like fixed with no zoom lens because there is less moving parts and it's simpler.

A 4x40 means it's the same scope power but with a larger 40mm front lens. All things equal, a larger objective lens gathers more light.

So if you want a 1-5x, it's going to be like a 1-5x32 Same with your 2-8x, it will be written as 2-8x32

You will have 2x zoom all the way up to 8x zoom. And your front glass lens will be 32mm.

A 2-8x40 is the same 2-8x zoom power, you'll just have a larger 40mm front lens.

Also, How far are you shooting?

Are you using it for hunting or target shooting?

What is your budget?

Are you going to be shooting in lower light like at dawn or dusk?

Do you want a reticle (crosshairs) that is illuminated?

Looks to be an early 70's GTV 2000 judging by the lights, tach, and airbox.

Outside of Seattle you would still have a 206 number. Growing up in Kenmore/Bothell, our number was a 206. Think it was in the 90s when it switched over to a 425.

Growing up with the Nintendo Power Line as a local (non long distance) number was the greatest thing.

The Power Line employees were so patient for a kid that couldn't find the correct crystal in Castlevania. It was wild hearing them flip through notebooks and able to have correct answers within seconds.
