Conventional or Synthetic?
[QUOTE=Rosco2]I hope my old Seattle friends from the long-gone SWreviiewBoard are doing well. I know it gets really cold in Seattle during the winters, and was just wondering if you guys use synthetic oil in your monger-mobiles are just the conventional regular oil? I'm just kinda curious which is favored among northwestern mongers. I know I use synthetic down here in Missouri, and it doesn't get nearly as cold here.[/QUOTE]
It does NOT get that cold at all in the Seattle / Puget Sound area. The average "Cold" temp. is in the low 40's high 30's. Now it does get colder at night, generally coldest in the early morning (after bar close time; 2 AM). None-the-less, it rarely gets below freezing more than 30-40 days out of the year; usually Jan-Mar are the coldest months. For the mongers, and even more so the providers it is the cold drizzel-rain that comes down constantly for hours, sometimes days that can impact upon the street scene. So I just use regular oil in my monger mobile. Out in the "Great Pacific North WET" I would only pay the premium for synthetic oil if I had an expensive vehicle that made such an investment worth while.
I do not think I would consider using synthetic oil even if I parked my monger mobile out in the open, as oposed to in a garage or carport. Why put a "gilded saddle on a broken mule"? I can not imagine why a monger would be using a car with a high performance engine, or any other expensive vehicle to go mongering in. As for reliability, there are many more important factors affecting the reliability of the average "monger mobile".
Most mogers who post here are quite frugal, even, dare I say, CHEAP! For the difference in what they would pay for synthetic oil they can obtain a CBJ. Lets face it a practical "monger mobile" can be obtained for $200 to $2,000. From observing many of my fellow mongers' vehicles, I doubt they perform (or pay to have preformed) much maintenance at all!
I do prudent, but limited maintenance on my monger mobile, still IMHO I spend $ = to replacement cost every 6 months or so. Maintenance IS very important on a monger mobile, not just to keep it running, but to minimize the chances of having an unneeded contact with LEO. Most important is to have ALL of your lights working (headlights, taillights, turn signals, Licence Plate lights), Check them Before heading out to cruise a track! It only takes a moment. Near equally Important is to make sure you have current Tabs on your monger mobile. Those 2 things, and not driving like an idiot will go a looooong way to avoiding any unneccesary contacts with LEO!
Wiper Blades (windshield wipers) are very helpful up here with all the rain we get. It is a safety measure in more than one way. Clean windows can help you spot lurking LEO, pimps, or other people you don't want to meet. It can also help you avoid providers you Don't want to pick up.
A garbage bag is not just a good idea, its the Law, seriously, check the RCW. You want one anyway to have a place to put condoms, wrapers, napkins, and any other such things. You don't want a provider to throw these things on the floor of your car, or the ground outside your monger mobile either. Littering could result in contact with Leo, even in the likely case it does not, it will ruin a good place to park with a provider for a car date.
You want a generally clean car so you can easily check it after mongering, do you want someone else to find Evidence of your mongering? Some providers may leave you "little presents" too, such as drug residue or crack pipes or such. ASAP after a "date" clean out, or at least check your vehicle. I recomend a gas station, car wash, or possibly a fast food joint, but probably not on the "strip". If you are squeemish some disposable medical gloves kept in the trunk might be an idea, for picking up things you'd rather not touch.
Speaking of appearences the "ideal monger mobile" is a non-descript car. If you plan on doing car dates it should also be roomy enough to conduct business. (see a previous post where a monger kept bumping his head, and I think mentioned never got his nut.) Idealy it is not some color, or paint scheme that will catch the eye. It is probably a good idea not to have any distictive bumper stickers or other markings either.
I have more thoughts on "Monger Mobiles" if anyone is interested.
145th Aurora area - Tuesday night
I picked up a cute WSW walking north across from that purple/yellow burger place around 145th. She was very skinny, maybe 90lbs, 5'3, dark hair up in a bun. She had a black jacket and tight pants with a tramp stamp.
Since it was raining I offered to give the poor thing a ride. She gets in and I'm starting to think felony with hooks on it, so I asked her if she was old enough to be out past dark. She tells me she's 18 and has her ID right here and starts to dig around in her jacket for it. I'm thinking, hell, if she ID she's about to get f......
About then she says "oh maybe not" and showed me a hotel keycard. I tell her the ride is over and start to pull over, then she asks me to take her south to McDonalds. I told her there's no McDonalds south of here and she starts getting ghetto and pointing south--just take me down here for something. At this point I have a good feeling something is up and just want her out.
I tell her I'll give her 5 dollars and drop her off up the street so she can go find McDonalds and get something to eat herself. Then she starts giving me grief and complaining, so I immediately pulled over and kicked her out with 0.
This shit is getting old. The majority I've picked up in the last 12 months have no ID.
Getting back into the game
I've offically moved to Seattle few months ago and I've been slowly getting back into the game last few weeks. I've been doing my homework on Seattle and been hittin' the street whenever I can. Either I'm missing something or it's [b]slow[/b] out there.
Anyway, I did come across a WSW named Lisa somewhere around 90s up north. A spinner type body and with a nice, small butt, but flat chested. Gave me a sloppy, wet covered bj. My kind of bj, I mean really [i]sloppy[/i]. Only annoying thing about her was her phone was constantly ringing. Says that her boyfriend was the jealous type and wanted to keep tabs on her at all times. Must had some acting lessons becuase it was almost believable.
Told me it was her last night walking before she starts her real job next week and leave the streets behind. I wished her luck but ask for her number just in case she is short on rent someday. No luck on the number.
