GRRR. Stop it all of you TGIFers, I have to work tomorrow I need to go do some spirited driving.. it's been a while. Plus it's like 75 outside, so it's perfect. It's gonna be in the mid 80's for the whole week.

I'm also in talks with Dan @ CCW. We're finalizing some wheels I'm hyped.

I just wish I could find someone to buy mine. Am I asking too much? Honestly? I thought 900 for staggered gold (do they even make gold anymore) Type C's was an okay price. I saw other non staggered Type C's going for $1100. Mine just has a few paint flakes on that spot where the lip meets the tire, so I thought $900 would be an easy sale.

Also, I think I may have one of the highest mileage s2000s still running. It's my DD and I rolled over 180k a few days ago, I believe. I'll grab a picture when I get off work. It still runs amazing and I have had no major problems out of it.

But okay, I agree with your "clean" reason, I just thought you meant the word "clean" in general, no matter how it's used.

you can just think of me as daddy, little slugger

How funny, because my father walked out on my mom before I was born. I always wanted to find him so I could knee him in his face a good thirty or fourty ****ing times.


Looks like this is gonna work out.

Man I haven't been on here in forever. The new layout looks great, and I'm willing to bet its mad old too. I'm glad to see the rambling threads are still going strong.

^-- have you ever ridden in an 01' s2k with stock suspension? It's pretty stiff but I loved it. the stiffness from TEIN FLEX coils though on the other hand, I didn't like it but with EDFC it was bearable since u could adjust dampening

Tein Flex are too bouncy, unless they really overhauled them in the re design. I had them when they first came out for the s2000 about 5 years ago and I thought they were junk.

yeah, that was my thought it was either too sloppy, too bouncy, or too twitchy. but it did its job for daily driving so i can't complain too much. i couldn't dial them in for the street perfectly so i gave up lol

TGIF

so i was on a road trip some 19 years ago to sell vaccuum cleaners in atlanta. just happened to be passing through kentucky. stopped to drop a deuce at a local gas station, surrounded by trailer parks, and this pretty young thing came stumbling out of a semi's cab:

[imkg]http://www.28th-infantry-division.us/store/ugly%20girl%200.bmp[/img]

she came up to me and said "howdy, ya'll be needin one of dem there blow jobs?"

i said "no thanks lady, i just need to poop"

she said "ooooweee let me help ya with that"

forced me into the bathroom and knocked me unconcious with a pitchfork.

next thing i know, i wake up with her on top of me.

i say "wtf are you doing?"

she says "tryin to clean up this here condom i reckon, but it be givin me fits"

as i watch her try to suck clean a dirty used condom, it tears. she shoves a cowpie in my mouth and renders me unconcious again.

i wake up to her trying to insert my wee wee. however, she couldn't figure out which hole was which as they were both about the size of a baseball.

i pass out from the stench, something like the dumpster at red lobster.

when i woke up she was gone. just a note saying billy bob took her to castrate some cattle. no contact info, but my wallet was missing.

a year later i get an anonymous letter saying i could be a father, but the lady didn't know if it was me, or possibly her dad's, or her brother's. i though nothing of it.

until this day i swore i wasn't the father, in fact i felt like this for most of the last 19 years:

but now i know you are mine. come give daddy a hug.
Ahh.. stereotypes. Wonderful. Unfortunately, the part of KY you're referring to is south of here. I just so happen to have wonderful grammar, a bachelors in Computer Networking Systems, and all of my teeth.

Plus, you're white. My mom is white. I'm mixed. So.. it looks like I have to continue my search.

But hey, I can still stop by and throw a couple knees your way.

Their difficult to set up because they are valved crappy. Tein for the most part valves their coilovers low, so if your not really using their suggested settings the ride is somewhat affected.

I used to have Zeals on my S, and the difference was night and day vs the Teins. My next coils hopefully will be some Zeals, Motons or Sachs. I need something stiff and track oriented.
