Hi Glenn!

Look's like I missed a lot of good times over this past Summer/Fall, especially the Fall Colors meet this past weekend.

Damn!

I have been working six days a week since late July (Sundays mostly!). Lot's of work, thanks to Osama.

Enough said. I really can't get into those details here.

My S only has 17K miles. Let's get together some Saturday.

Jeez John, 17K miles? And I thought we were slow with "only" 31000 after 3 years. Good to hear from you. Maybe we can have an old timers reunion one of these days.

Have a good weekend.

I can't follow this thread but Happy Birthday to you and/or your S2K. (I'm still not sure about this one ???
Who is having a birthday?)

In any event, I am sure one of you is deserving of this salutation.

[B]Well, there may be a problem with this. Chapter 90 section 17 is used when the speed of the motor vehicle is "greater than reasonable and propper". Often this is the section used when there is no posted

John, I was referring to the age of our cars. We just passed our third birthday last week. I like the indian summer ride idea now if the weather would just cooperate . . .

Wanna have some fun?

Take your daily beater to Bernardi Honda and get a test drive in the (disgustingly filthy) Sebring they insist on damaging by backing it up over the curb in front of their (dust-covered due to construction) store.

The standard route the salesperson will take you on is through this speed trap. But since you scouted it before you took the drive (you came to the dealership from the west), you know the cops aren't there.

Just as the dude who knows so little about the S2000 is telling you "it's a limited production car, it's got 153 HP and 240 lb-ft of torque and it's got an electronic rollover prevention system attached to the stock supercharger," you can drop into 3rd, hit, say, 7K-8K RPM, fly through the trap he expects you to get nailed in and then when you hit the light to pull a U-turn on Route 9 in front of Sherwood Plaza, you'll just grin at him and say, "uh...this is a fast car, huh?"
