Default S2000 Life Lessons

I posted this on Facebook, but I know that lots of you are not on there, so I thought I'd post it here as well.


All I need to know in life I learned from driving my S2000:

It's how you navigate through the curves and corners that really count

When you hit the apex...accelerate

More gas = less wet

Dress appropriately and you'll stay comfortable

Whenever possible, drive with the top down and enjoy the fresh air

All you need is one person to enjoy the ride with


Can you think of any more???

More gas = less wet? Or is it the other way around? Last time I gave it more gas it didn't get any less wet.

I hear ya on the rest!

Maybe you didn't give it enough gas?


I've kept *mostly* dry in the rain as long as I'm doing 60ish with the side windows up.
It spits a little inside, but not too bad. I'm too tall though so my hair gets wet

"All you need is one person to enjoy the ride with"
Are you referring to the (being the) driver, Amy?

Oh, I get it now. I thought you meant water on the ground.... in which case, the wetter it gets the less throttle you better try to put down. You mean water in the interior, in which case I wholeheartedly agree!

Never let things that are beyind your control (like weather) interfere with your ability to enjoy the moment.



The "S"nowmobile is working just fine



I got a lot of odd looks today coming back over the pass with the top down in the snow from Mill City until Bend. Passed a lot of 4x4s and one even rolled down his window and yelled "Yeaaahhhh!!! HAHAHAH!"


That last pic if you look close has headlights in it. That was a line of about 8 cars I passed at the Hoodoo summit
