Drive east, not too far, out of Seattle on I-90 and you'll go through the town of Issaquah. If you pull off the freeway looking for a lunch place - and if you don't mind burgers and French fries and maybe doing a few extra calories - I recommend you chow-down at Triple XXX Root Beer Drive-In.
Mostly they do hamburgers with car type of names, The Impala, The Hot Rod - that sort of thing. And you really have to order their root beer.
Why root beer? Because XXX Root Beer is, as Beverage Direct says, “tastes like root beer used to taste!” With over 100 years of Texas tradition, Triple XXX has a classic root beer taste with a smooth caramel finish, aided by a big, frothy head and a nose that includes vanilla, wintergreen and licorice. Triple XXX delivers a clean, bite-free and mildly sweet taste that lingers at the back of the tongue with each sip. Once known as “the Aristocrat of them all” this root beer is meant to enjoy from a mug rather than a bottle, and is a great compliment to food. Hands-down, Triple XXX Root Beer – as their slogan declares – “makes thirst a joy!”
The interior of XXX overflows with 50s, 60s memorabilia, enough so you're rubber necking the walls and ceiling until your food is served ... lots of stuff, everything from car parts, 45 rpm records to old high school ID cards.
There is one caveat for stopping at XXX, you best drive your Ferrari because Hondas and Soccer Mommy Vans have to park elsewhere.
Just kidding.
One other thing ... there must be 25 people taking orders, being busy and serving food ... the place is ultra efficient ... they really do care for their customers.
It's a cool place, your Ferrari will be safe.

Did you arrive in the red or black one? Or is yours down the other side? Vegas prefers the Maserati, but we do have a few Ferrari showrooms. (no, I don't have one: Toyota Camry here)
I drove the red Testarossa and wife met me there, she likes black cars.
