you guys must had fun! Envy you guys.

You guys should have went to Phenom Phen in Vancouver Chinatown. That is probably one of the best places around there..

Vancouver is a great place to take some nice photos and see some nice scenery. Otherwise, it is well laid back, everytime I visit I can't stay longer then 4 days!

Neverless, it was nice for you guys to show us how its done! I couldnt imagine myself driving so far to a meet! Keep it up!!

A. Ultimate road trip
B. Teaching all of us what being an "enthusiast" really mean
C. Taking a sample of SoCal BMW owners' showmanship on the road
D. All of the above

The correct answer is "D" ...Thanks for sharing a great journey with all of us Dr. phuOnger and minipuck

this is from wikipedia:

Quote:

All stations in New Jersey and Oregon, however, offer only full service and mini service; attendants are required to pump gas because customers are barred by statutes in both states from pumping their own gas. New Jersey banned self-service gasoline in 1949 after lobbying by service station owners. Proponents of the ban cite safety and jobs as reasons to keep the ban.[1] Likewise, the Oregon statute banning self-service gasoline lists seventeen different justifications, including the inflammability of gas, the risk of crime from customers leaving their car, the toxic fumes emitted by gasoline, and the jobs created by requiring mini service.[2] In addition, the idiosyncratic ban on self-service gasoline is seen as part of Oregonian culture. One commentator noted, “The joke is when babies are born in Oregon, the doctor slaps their bottom, ‘No self-serve and no sales tax’ [. . .] It’s as much a cultural issue as an economic issue. It’s a way of life.”[3] In 1982, Oregon voters rejected a ballot measure sponsored by the service station owners, which would have legalized self-service gas.[4]

a dime a dozen, just like in socal

evo119 and dr.phuOnger? are norcalians.

Minipuck V 2.0 is too, but he just recently moved back to SF from socal. and he didn't take his e90 on the road trip.
