I like to look at all the people on the streets. I like to look at nature around me. I also talk a lot to my 6-year-old son about what is going on around us. He's my driving partner. We look out for new and interesting things; vehicles, animals, etc.

Beaverton, OR Buying Tips
I have found craigslist to the best. If you're patient, there is always a good deal eventually. It can also help a lot to buy from out of town if you're looking for a popular car. Car's like Subaru's are more expensive here than most places because so many people want them.

It's in the middle of the city but there are nature trails all along it. The traffic is usually moving really well too. The biggest nature park of the entire city is also on this road.
