As Viper007Bond said above, there's no road salt used here. Often times when a pickup wears out, they cut the front half off and scrap it while using the bed as a trailer. It's not uncommon to see pickup beds from the 50s and 60s being towed behind newer vehicles.

Moved to PDX with my wife a year ago and we've really been enjoying it. It's cleaner and safer-feeling than any big city I've ever lived in; you're safe as long as you avoid the Lloyd Center and Old Town when the sun goes down. Recent events honestly have been blown way out of proportion by the media, but I'm not mad if it keeps rent (kinda) down and the tourists away. Lots to do, great food, and the car scene here is better than any place I've ever lived too. Even Detroit and LA don't compare. Kei cars, Redblocks, old diesel Mercs, well-built offroaders, supercars, classics, mint old econoboxes that nobody but an RCR fan would save... this place has it all. PIR is a damn decent track too and, if you get bored of that, Oregon Raceway Park is just on the other side of Mt. Hood. Portland has its issues for sure: incompetent local government (esp. concerning the mishandling of the houseless population), gentrification, useless and/or bad LEOs, hipsters, and way too many IPAs to name a few. All that being said though, I think both of us are gonna be real sad when we have to leave this place.

This video is oddly calming. I might have to start playing it before bed while drinking Earl Grey tea as my new nightly routine.

Glad to see you are enjoying the city where I grew up, I agree Portland does have a relaxed nature for a big city. Even compared to other cities in the Pacific northwest such as Seattle or Spokane Portland is cleaner and in general has a laid back and relaxed vibe to it. Especially when the sun is shining for the approximate 4.26 seconds of nice weather Portland gets per year before the rains come.

Portland is pretty cool, glad you are enjoying it!

You should try and visit McMinnville while you're in Oregon! It's like 50 minutes away. You described Portland perfectly too, calmest big city ever

hlavco Sadly the 94 Shadow I owned circa 2002 loved to eat head gaskets. After two head gaskets, it then ate the front seal without warning. Dumped all its oil in the course of about 1 mile. 2.5l 4 automatic. By the time the oil light came on, the engine was already knocking. Had to give it away, it was at around 150k miles. Oh, and I had also had to replace the transmission as well. Thing was a pile of crap. I think I only managed about 10,000 miles the entire time I owned it. Constantly hood up in the driveway.

Alvin Brinson Ah, my dad had the base model with the stickshift. Seems like base models of cars tend to last longest. Actually, he got his for super cheap because it was a factory misfit car-- it was the 95hp base model, but they accidentally put "Shadow GT" stickers and decals all over it. So, it lasted forever and looked great doing it.

This looks nice and calm.

I've got a '93 Tercel in Bethlehem if you'd like to review one sometime. It's getting on in years, though, and there's some rust happening around the wheel wells.

Portland is a cool city I lived there for ten years. I saw a guy driving and X body Chevy that was show room clean while living there. For those that do not know that's a Citation. A lot of clean old cars in the PNW, very little snow and No salt.

Damit! i was there over the weekend! All the way from vancouver BC. Had my 93 Delica L300 with me. Would've been awsome if you did a RCR. :(

Greetings from Norway! Please test the mx6 while you're there! I havent seen it live yet (since I live in norway) and it would be awesome if you made a video about it!

I only wish it was longer!

How did I not see you running around my city!?!?!

You were in my town! Damn!

Nice video Mr.Regular!

Trains. So authentic.

I don't think Mr. Regular really mentions it, but when we were eating at Lardo's the amount of Subaru Outback's and Foresters was unbelievable! I mean it felt like every other car was a mid 2000's Subaru.

Lived and worked around Portland for years, great town, did you get to Voodoo donuts?

Your videos are beautiful, rcr

Speaking of 90s cars, please do a review of the Third generation Prelude and the VW Corrado. I dunno why but I loved those cars when I was younger.

The Toyota tercel was my first car. Wish I still had it so you could review it

I live in Portland (a couple of the shots were a few blocks from my office) and I used to have a Paseo that I totally would have let RCR review.

When are you coming to the seattle area?

M. Regular, have you ever thought of reviewing a 2CV?

I wonder what city he's in.

It's like I've always been told. Portland today is Seattle circa 1990 somehow transported to the Willamette Valley circa 2015.

come to bend, its a tiny fancy portland. beer bikes and Subaru...

what cities and towns did you guys stop at?
