Our drives are not open to the general public, which includes those who used to own an S2000, hope to own one, those with similar cars, or those who think the drive we've put together sounds fun and would like to tag along, etc.
We are not trying to be snobby here, but are trying to clarify what we are about – The fun and adventure of Honda S2000 ownership.

I truly hope my Friday night does not go until 11:59pm at work! That might make it difficult for me to be up by 6 to get breakfast!
Looking forward to getting this drive started!

I would never tell anyone to go if they felt like the weather was going to make it difficult or uneasy for them. Everyone needs to feel comfortable in what they are doing. I know I will be taking it easier if the snow starts to fly.

I would totally love to go and Alexis too but it's her birthday party this Saturday and the lure of presents and cake beats the beautiful scenery and roar of VTEC, at least in her eyes.
Maybe I'll see y'all at the next one to the coast!
