Rant: Did anyone else feel this way?, Garaging the S too early

So I ended up garaging my S for all of October and decided to daily drive the boosted 240sx.

Sure I was boost happy and the torque came easily.
I also enjoyed how the other Honda heads (non-s2k) would suddenly not want to bother me.

However, Friday night I really missed getting busy with the gears and decided to switch cars as soon as I got home from work.

The moment I fired up the engine, I heard a familiar Tracy Sports rumble.

5 minutes later I find myself pacing on NJ3 East and West for 30 minutes to warm up my tires. At that point, I felt like I wasted a whole month not driving my instant "stress relief."

So I decided to drive as much as I can over the weekend.

Soon enough, I find myself on NJ1 South on a Sunday afternoon driving topless (I'm referring to the roof) beside some usual honda heads: one built integra and one built civic hatch.
Obviously they were itching to do a 40 roll and bugged me while I was listening to Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable."

On most days I wouldn't bother but I haven't pushed the S in a month so I figured I'd let it purr.
Unsure of what they had, I slowed them down to 25 (at that point they probably were outside of lift) and let them do the honking.

3 honks later we were out. I wasn't surprised to be ahead but I was surprised I wasn't putting bus lengths right away. Good match between those two. Didn't bother counting those as "kills" since I don't ever do straight line runs.

I'm just glad all I could hear is my exhaust--and not theirs.
That made my weekend (and the Yankees won).

Now I find myself back at work in the city.
Looking forward to the weekend again to relieve my stress.

I really regret the month I lost without driving the S.

Any one else feel this way or have similar stories?

nope bc i drive mine everyday

No one ever hears your Fuji. j/k

give me your boosted 240, then you will have to drive the S everyday! You'll never be sad again

SR20DET?

Yep. Disco Potato'ed.

I would actually consider trading it for something I can really drive daily for the winter.

I know what you mean!
But having crank walk I cant do anything about it....
Should have everything running again this month, gonna drive it till it snows

yeah Im looking for a nice FWD beater too

pics of your 240 please!

i haven't driven mine since i got my 09si. honestly i like being comfortable just going back and forth, that's why i haven't taken out the S. it's not away for winter, just not comfortable to drive around all day.

i take out for a spin tonight... weather is 50+ so ,it's ok still...
i still redline it, and i do get tire spins lolzzz

I wish I had a beater? Hah

a beater makes the day you take out ur "special" car feel that much better

Solo...




With the GPW in stock form...

No, but I put my winter tires on much too early.

Is that a pretty bad idea?

I haven't put on snow tires in a while on any of my cars. Usually I switch from summers to all season.

I haven't even put the bike away for the winter yet.

Yeah I wore out my summeer tires

Heads up guys.... we've got a few 62-64 degree days coming up... hold off on the storage plans for another week.

I know exactly what you mean. While I have been pimping my g35 and living nice with meaner engine and comfy heated seats. There is nothing better for my stress than zipping around in my S. Thats why I am in my S today. I dont know about garaging at all with the exception of snow days.


Since you guys touched on the tire subject a little. I still have on my Dirreza's on. While I damage them greatly with the cold temperature. I am not pushing it that hard on the corners.

PM'd

lol hell yeah I do, when i had it rain rain rain, the day i garaged it sun sun sun, unfreaking beleivable, its like an episode of married with children I bet if i take it out tomorrow (sun) itll rain and snow.......now I know how Al (bundy) feels.

I haven't put it away, I drive it probably once or twice a week at max. Funny what someone said earlier. I was telling TriaxEngine how uncomfortable and obnoxious driving the car can be.

Then I get into the boat and its comfortable, roomy, I can hear the radio comfortably, and there's actually torque.
