I know your not throwing a gauntlet down again. Do you like to be embarrased or what?

[Johnny P]

i f*#&ing hate people, this stupid f*#& ran a red light and destroyed my baby. The axel is bent and the entire rear passengers quarter panel is more bent out of shape than janet reno at a snoop dog concert. So i might not catch the meet, maybe i can if i bum a ride with a fellow 2 member. I think there are 2 other mr2 owners down here.

[Johnny P]

or i could roll my dying 91 well see

[Shortee]

Awsome Derek!, glad to see you got my e-mail, Weather permitting for everyone ofcourse, Ill be givin you a call when we get closer to the day of the meet.

[Trixter]

I'm off that day. Should be able to make it, I would assume...

[blackice]

Long time no see!, with school and work i have just about died off. SO long as its not snowing i can make it.

If its snowing, look for the guy driving around in a 4x4 truck in 2 wheel drive pushing snow that seems to be a little nuts. If you found him, wave because it most likely be me :)

[aQuarius26]

Man! its lookin like we might want to make reservations, If the weather permits and everyone who plans on attending shows, this could be half as big as our "Annual" meet! :eek: :D :banana: :cheer:

[SpecialED]

I will be there if Damon is able to swap my old 440 injectors back into my car in time, and it runs semi-decently afterwards.

Flyboy!, its on you, chop-chop... ;)

[flyboy]

*whip cracks*

I'm working on it this week. I'm not 100% certain it will work.

Besides, doesn't Hsun have something like 23 other cars, 5 of which work?

Actually, I've pared it down to just 4 cars - the Civic hatch, my ultilitarian, salvage-title Accord wagon, the wife's Integra sedan, and the party-pooper MR2. Sold off a '93 GS-R Teg, an auto Civic hatch, and my '89 CRX in 2005. I did pick up some motorcycles though.

Looking to buy something "somewhat new and different" on Ebay soon . . . stay tuned.

As I've stated before, I'm not big on showing up for MR2 meets w/o an MR2 . . . unless there's a mountain drive involved, and then I might bring the Civic or the Integra.

[tred]

great, not i have to try paying chech up with hsuns hondas:p
so flyboy how did it go? are we all still on for the meet? looks like we are going to have a realy good turn out if everyone shows up so it should be a lot of fun:D

are they religous?

[Spyderman01]

Weather is looking pretty good so far for the 8th. 40+ degrees and sun.
Also, it looks like I will be bringing my girlfriend with me. Not sure if that matters, but I thought it might be important for seating requirements at Red Robin.

Hope everyone has a safe and festive New Years!!!

See ya on the 8th:D

[Spyderman01]

I can't wait to meet all of you guys, and gals in person. You all sound like you have a good time with each other!

[SuperWhiteGT4]

I can't make it this time guys, I'll be farther away than fort collins. The bahamas to be specific. I expect to see pictures though.

Hey, I'm just curious.......I suppose I could have said small thereby only needing 1/2 a seat but I thought I'd just go with the odds...

[Spyderman01]

no problem oldster:p
BTW - what time are you thinking of heading up on Sunday? Maybe we could meet up in the Springs and head up at the same time?

You clowns both need to attend my highly regarded "Hsun is right and everyone else is WRONG" bootcamp. Ask my wife, she gives it two thumbs up. 'Course, she's had an exclusive and comprehensive 10-year-long session . . .

Hadn't given it much thought yet, eleven or so?

[turbotom]

Originally posted by oldster

I think there are several people from the Springs going this time, maybe we can meet somewhere near I-25 around 11?

BTW, I also plan to bring my girlfriend. She only requires one regular size chair Oldster, in case you were "curious.":D

[Spyderman01]

What about at the gas station next to McDonalds on the corner of Academy and 83 at 11:00?

[turbotom]

Wanna buy one?


Heck, think of all the tickets you'd get with one. Sucks to hear about your ticket man. I hope you dont get your license suspended.

[Revlis]

Thanks all of you who came.. :)
---So Adam sucks for the Day for not attending----

It was interesting, met a LOT of new people that i don't remember their names. :D

Pics are posted in the Media Forum (as usual) sorry there's not a lot of them.. :p

[drift_mr2]

Had fun it was cool seeing everyone again. I was still late but not by as much this time around. :)

[SpecialED]

Who all went on the drive afterwards? Howdit go?

[oldster]

Not sure who all was there, went 105 south out of Sedalia to Monument, nice little drive.

[Spyderman01]

I went on the drive, and it was very nice.

[SpecialED]

I went on the drive, and it was very nice.

Sure would like to participate in a drive again, in my MR2 . . . someday.

What is the latest on your car?

[SpecialED]

What is the latest on your car?

Awaiting a Nemesis EMS for Damon to perform further testing with to determine if it will provide a solution for whatever ails my car. I am of the opinion that the problem is based in fuel/engine management, not a gross mechanical issue.

Hopefully we will know something more definite by the end of January at the latest.

[oldster]

Good luck, hope you get her back on the road soon.

[SpecialED]

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment. It's not a girl though - just an inanimate machine that happens to be possessed by demons (sex unknown).

Wouldn't inanimate and possessed be self exclusive?

[SpecialED]

Wouldn't inanimate and possessed be self exclusive?

Not sure, that's too deep a question for lunchtime on a Tuesday. But think about the old movie "Poltergeist" - the house was possessed by spirits, but it was still just an inanimate object being manipulated by outside influences. So the house itself wasn't actually alive per se.

My main point is that I choose not to call cars, boats, planes, motorcycles, etc. "she" or "her."

Kinda archaic and old school IMO. No offense intended to you of course.

[Ncturnal]

....more bent out of shape than janet reno at a snoop dog concert.

Sorry for your loss, but I gotta say, that's pretty funny.

[oldster]

No offense taken, I am old school.
