sighted, 5/12 at 2:20ish on i94 north around 176 and on. I was driving home from work and came up behind a black ap2. It had a Go tuning sticker on the wind deflector, single Ti exhuast (sounded good when it took off) dark rims and poss. lowered. I think it also had speaker pods in the headrests. I have had my car for about 2 months now and this was the first time I ran into another s2k that didn't act like an ass. I was a very welcomed change. Normally I'll be driving along and another s2k or any other car will roll up and start revving, challanging etc.... and then cop an attatude when you dont race, or beat them, or whatever the outcome. This guy just cruised along infront of me, we would both get on it a little here and there, gave me a thumbs up as we went. As I got off at grand, threw up a peace sign. Its nice to know that there are still down to earth people who can enjoy there cars and have fun without driving or acting like asses. Who ever you were, props man, nice ride, and good cruisin.

You should come out to a meet or two, there is a big one coming up on Saturday, most of use do NOT condone street racing nor like it around us at all. People who act stupid pay the price anyhow, welcome (even tho you've stopped on here before).

Ledfoot, we have worked on that car here at the shop, he is from Antioch if memory serves me right, although I do not know his user name.

Saw a custom blue-ish teal colored s2k. Looked like the m3 laguna seca blue. He was going north on 59 and i was going southbound pretty fast and exchanged waves.

Whoohoo! That was me!

Glad I put out a good image for the forum. (Not like we could drive like asses in the 94 construction zone anyway!)

I am lowered on Ground Control and Koni Yellows, have SSR Type C wheels in gunmetal, and leather/suede seat covers that cover up the 'hole' in the stock seats.

The good sounds came from a Greddy 70mm Ti-C and test pipe.

Thanks for the compliments! Hope to see you at one of the meets later on this summer!

Almost forgot to mention last week, Thursday at around 6PM, spotted a half Suzuka/half BB going north on 83 in Long Grove, with the top up. I'm not kidding the car was split diagonally in terms of color.

I was in that huge group (200+) bikers.
