Hehe, my experience has been that most of us do try to follow male bathroom etiquette.

Also, Columbus isn't too bad as far as snow goes, especially not the last couple of years. With a decent set of tires, you'd be fine. I'm using mine as a daily driver right now, but am planning on picking up a beater this fall or maybe sooner. I want another car to have a little practicality again and help keep the miles off of the S2000 (I've got over 4300 since I picked her up on April 1st! ), in addition to keeping it out of the snow, ice, and salt.

I'll second your guess of Battelle, osu s2k. Hey, I wonder how many S2000's we have on campus right now? I'm over on West Campus with my Sebring Silver and I think you said you were in the med center. Is that right?

Good luck with the new job opportunity, moonpie!

 

Hello:

My S2K is a daily driver. However, 2002 winter will be my first one. I will also buy a good set of winter tires. Driving the S2K in heavy ohio spring rains has been no problem for me so far.
If you are interested, check out www.honda.co.jp. This is Honda's Japanese website. They recommend using Blizzaks as snow tires and actually in Japan, ther are a dealer option.
Welcome to Columbus and Central Ohio S2K club.

 

Thanks for the info guys, and osu s2k and StrangeDaze get 10 bonus points for correctly guessing the place of employment Heard back from them today and the offer sounds awesome, so I'll think about it for the next day before I completely make up my mind, but I'm thinking there's gonna be another Spa Yellow cruising around Columbus in the near future

Do you all have any recommendations for nice areas to live in? I've been told renoldsburg and pickerington so far, but how 'bout some others. A good school district is very important, and keep in mind that I'll be working downtown.

Thanks again

P.S. I strongly prefer NOT to talk to another man while I'm touching my johnson

 

Hey Moonpie, I work downtown and live in New Albany, north east of Columbus. It takes me 18 to 20 minutes to get downtown. The New Albany School system along with the Dublin school system, West Side, are some of the best in the country. Both have National education awards recognition. The New Albany Campus looks like a collage campus, its incredible to see and every building is new. What my daughter has learned in 1st grade here is impressive. Plus, the traffic by me is much lighter. New Albany has been written up in many architectural magazines. All the homes are primarily Georgian in style and there are white Fences everywhere. You really need to see it. Plus the home appreciation is incredible. Another nice touch is the zoning control. What I have noticed about Columbus is that you can have housing developments with allot of commercialization. You can end up with a strip center as your back yard. Since New Albany is a planned community and controlled by Lex Wexner(owner of the Limited)there is very little commercial areas and these areas also maintain the housing look/style. It is still fairly rural which is hard to find. I can even hear the Cows at night and I am not kidding. If you come to town to look around, PM me and I can show you around. the New albany area is hard to appreciate without seeing it.

BTW, my S2K is also a spa A friend of mine lives in Renoldsburg and also has a spa. S2K's by me a rare. I only know of one other yellow, a new blue and a black. My wife has seen them at the school while picking up my daughter from after school activities and she would tell me that the other moms would ask, what kind of car is that? My wife actually says, that is a Honda S2000, my husband has one. This impresses me since my wife can care less about a car.

 

david1: thanks very much for all the helpful info. I'm very excited to learn that I can get a super-nice house in the Columbus area for around 200k Here in the DC area my townhome costs $200k I drool when I see houses like
these for sale for so cheap [drool] 3 car garage [/drool]

I take my daughter (2nd grader) to school everyday in my S2000

BTW, do you Ohio S2K'ers get together very often?

Thanks again!

 

Moonpie, West Albany is just up the road from me. But you need to ask if it is New Albany Schools. That location is where my apartment was while my house was being built, Also New Albany, but the kids did not go to New Albany schools. They would go to Westerville I believe, just average and quite a distance away. PM me for my work number and I can explain why, you will find it interesting. If my Picture still works you can see some of my house on the left side of the Photo next to the brick one so you can see the Georgian style. The second is another shot up the street. You will notice the dormer windows and all of the homes is this part of New Albany have these some where. My drive and garage are on the back of the house so on about half of the homes you do not see it. You will have to see it to really get a sense of it.

We central Ohio S2Kers got together a few weeks ago but have not met since, but got our own club section here. There is a thread in S2000 Talk were we have pics posted. I believe it is called Central Ohio S2K club.(Or something like that). Mine is the Spa with the cleared lights. My friend with the other Spa is about 20 minutes from me. and I just cleared his lights. I have some parts ordered for mine, so when you arrive I can see what you have done to yours.

My daughter will be starting 2nd grade and she always likes meeting new friends!

 

if you are working at Battelle, i strongly encourage you to look at upper arlington, this is one of the older suburbs only 5-10 minutes or even closer in some instances to the ohio state/Battelle campus. As you will realize a lot revolves around ohio state in the community esp. with the proximity to Battelle. We will have to get you out to some tailgates and ohio state football games. Very few schools in the country have such events and turnouts. anyways, arlington schools are second to none, also award winners, like new albany and dublin districts. New albany would be a hike to Battelle compared to Upper Arlington. Arlington homes are similar to some of the older homes I remember in Rockville, They range in price from low 100s (real small ranch homes, 2 br, 1 car garage) to 600,000+ mansions. A very nice home can be had for 300,000.
New albany is awesome, all new builds, and a very clean and organized community. I am biased to arlington because i grew up there, close to Ohio State, downtown, and very easy airport access to the east side. Arlington is older though, very few new builds, although there are some. Can't go wrong either way. I don't know if this applies but there is a very strong and established Catholic Diocese in town with excellent grade schools and high schools.

 

My email was (and may still be) being filtered, so I've not been in touch for a long time.

I'm at Chem Abstracts (CAS), so it would be cool to do a lunch gathering some time of the OSU/Battelle/CAS folks.

 

I work at OSU and can meet up with people anytime for lunch!

 

While I work downtown rather than Batelle or OSU, lunch at some place in or near the Lennox Center would certainly work for me.

Pick a day and time, and send out some PM's. David1 works downtown and might be interested as well.

By the way, my wife works in ACS Books and Journals, I think it's called.
