A Great Group of People
Just toodling 'round the internet and was thinking about the S2000 group.
You know, this is really a great group of people and it bums me that we don't do more things together. I can honestly say I have never met a nicer group of people. Barbara and I both talk about what a nice, like-spirited group the S2000 people are. We brag about you all often and miss all of you immensely.
We are both so glad we joined the group when we did. From the Great America trip on, we have both had so much fun and companionship. I'm so glad that I contacted Elk Grove Honda while looking for my S.
Whether you know it or not, you are all a special group of people and are much appreciated in our hearts!!
The spirit of the S2000 calls to those who yearn for something deeper. I can only appologize for not being a better contributor.
For those of you who did not receive my 2004 Christmas card, here's my ode to the S2000 in haiku:
Spirit brought to life
a touch...half past takes to flight
ruby sky at nine
I wrote this in an attempt to combine my mid-life crisis with the joy of finding so much enjoyment and harmony with the power and control of the Honda sportscar and the people associated with it.
For those who are poetically challenged, a haiku is a Japanese poem (usually) with 17 sylables: 5, 7 and 5, with a connection and multiple meanings between and within each line. This is my first atempt at poetry, especially a haiku, but I was inspired by both the S and the group it's attached to.
In hopes that you relate, here's my personal definition.
"Spirit brought to life" is the joy and excitement of finding new things and people through the experience of life (and especially the S2000) as well as the excitement of 240 horses and and the feeling of pushing the pedal to the floor.
"A touch...half past takes to fiight" ... Those of us beyond 30 something (O.K.... middle aged) know how special human contact can be. Yes, we do tend to "soar" when physical contact is initiated. In S2000 terms, half past refers to that overwhelming rush beyond VTEC (picture the jump into hyper drive in the Milenium Falcon).
"Ruby sky at nine" in human terms refers to the realization that we are heading for the twilight of our days / lives. In S2000 terms, ruby sky at nine is redline at 9,000 RPMs (nothing like the picture of all bars of the tach lit up).
Those of you who are newer members, understand that there is something special about those of us that are drawn by the lure of the S. It's not about the steel, aluminum, and titanium, or the 240 horses of naturally aspirated power, or the song of 9,000 RPMs, but rather the spirit and like mindedness of what brings us all together.
Know in your soul that we are connected in ways that can't be explained... as for me, I'm glad I found the connection.
Sincerely,
Corey

Corey you should have that printed up and put on a memory wall at Tiki Lagoon (maybe Blair can start one before to many more sell the car). Anyway I couldn't have said things any better.
