Howz Stewie Make'yuh Warm'n Fuzzy?

[Java Junky]

JD'z thread on Stewie'z love'a tryin'a have the rear race the front ta the outside'a serious cornerz gott me'da thinkin'. (Nodd'a word!)
Some'uv us use Stewie'da gedd'er daily fixx'a cornerin' G'z.
Some're more inclined'da enjoy straight-line acceleration.
Some like'da spend their time polishin'itt'n'en jus' sittin' in'a lawn chair suckin' down suddz while they admire their work.
Some (who shall remain nameless) seem'da like jus' goin' out'n blowin'itt up every now'n ag'in so they can pudd'itt back tagether.

Me, I got Stewie fer church.
Pre-dawn excursionz inta the twistiest roadz I could find with the bike on Sunday mornin'z wuzz my therapy fer many moonz. 'Gedd'out there rippin' through the booniez with nobody aroun' 'ceptin'n occasional critter'r two, stop some spot where I could siddown on some deadfall, suckin' on'a thermos'a Joe, havin'a smoke'n watchin'a sun come up. My church, 'cause'att'z close'da God'z this ol' sinner'z ever gonna get.
Now, with Stewie, I don't godda come home'n tell Mama Java about the view from the ol' minin' road lookin' inta PA'z open fieldz full'a colorful hot air balloonz gettin' ready'da launch. 'Don't godda tell'er about the 60 lb. alligader snapper whut wuzz layin' claim to'a corner that it'd taken'a strong likin' to.
She jumpz in Stewie'z quick'z I do come Sunday mornin'z'n, to'er credit . . . she may be bitin'er lip'n goin' all white-knuckled on me't timez, but outside'a'n occasional "Oh $hit!", she don't much complain about the drivin'.
N', I godda admit . . . top up'r down, Stewie'z the only way'da fly when the weather gettz nasty.

So . . whutt'z yer favorite thingz'da'doo with Stewie?

Taking the scenic route, top down, where ever I go.

Java Nice story

[philiam]

Carving the canyons to the coast and heading up to a little beach. Then back down to Malibu Starbucks for a cuppa and a scone.

[Dr. Jimbo]

AMEN ma' brutha, AMEN!!

Can I get a HALLELUJAH!

[Dr. Jimbo]

You know, I gotta get out and beat (in a good way) on the S a little more. I feel like I'm too wimpy, except for occasional passes and gettin' on the freeway in vtec. I gotta get out on the local twisties and enjoy the rush more often.

Thanks JJ

Good read JJ! Work is the sickness. The car is the cure.

OK ya bastid. The truth now.
YOU made me go out to the garage at 5:15 and put a fresh coat of wax on her. The old coat was 2 weeks old! Then I ran my hands down her fine lines noticing the slippery slickness of a fresh coat of wax. She looks like she was dumped in a bath of red nail polish. Then coated with the finest french maid red lipstick.
I know you guys laugh at this behavior but hell man if I tried to wake the bride at this hour on a saturday she's kick my @ss! What's left?
Now I'm gonna move the herd of SUV's and pickup's outa the damn way and taker for a spin. I'm gonna smell the Mguires gold glass wax, feel every curve in the road, hold the shifter and enjoy every click through the gears. There aint nothing LIKE this car. Unless of course you got a sweet willing bride!
And at the moment, I don't!

You got that right! Thanks for the inspiration.
I wend down the coast a while smelling the wax mixed with the salt air. Then turned inland and damn near smacked into my buddy with the new 135i!. We went through the twisties with him trying to lose me. Happy to report he couldnt! Then off to work for him. Me on the parkway for some high speed fun. Then through the 100MPH connecter..very nice! Then home..
Nice start to the day JJ..Thanks man!

Stewie is my preferred form of transport at all times as long as there's no snow.

It's my commuter car. Good on gas and reliable.
99% of all my driving is on the twisties, so a car like Stewie is kind of a necessity.....(that's my story 'n I'm stickin' to it)

Over the years, I've learned that around Yonderland, a car that handles beats nearly everything else.

I ain't much for washing and waxing, and I'm not looking to rebuild my car over and over again.

Stewie's rode pretty hard with great regularity and coming up on two years of ownership has proved to be a very easy car to live with. If it can last for 5 years under me, and still perform the way it's supposed to, while still looking mostly good, I'll entertain keeping it looooong term, but retire it as my dd.

Yonderland will beat a car to death, given enough time.

I wish we had canyons here, but the best we have is River Rd, which follows the Mississippi River. Still a kick in the arse in the Stewie.

[Swingle1]

Nothing says "freedom" like the cool breeze of an early Sunday morning running through my hair. Trouble is, my time is quickly running out on all that... 'Less'n maybe I quit trimming my eyebrows.

[s2kx2]

To me there is nothing better than getting up early on the weekend and hitting the curves with fellow S2000 owners before all the soccer Mommy's in their over blinged "pimpscalades" and minivans start to take to the roads. Missed this mornings run though do to being up till 4:00 am doing music but will make up for it soon.

[4406pack]

Java, i have to tell you, from early spring after the last of the snow has melted and the rain has washed all the salt off the road, Venus is my DD until late Fall just before the first snow fall, i take her here....
for her weekend work outs....

[s2000isu]

I like to just enjoy my car on a nice spring day. I dont know why all these kids like to zip around with loud exhausts and all. I personally rarely get the car into vtec

[mike_s_0802]

Unfortunatley I would have to admitt that i am one of the guys who blows it up or hits a curb. This really sux that my stewie is down but not for the count. i will never give up on it. you may have seen post for parts for sale these are all parts that expendable. i will get'em back on the road soon enough. hopefully soon after my divorce is over

[Java Junky]

Whoa!
Who posted last? The $hitt'z piled deep! 'Should'a brought my waderz. (Sorry Mike. You snuck in on me. 'Meant isu.)
('Gonna try'n be'da Muellerz damarra mornin' fer SOS isu?)

Sweet run pack. Thanks fer sharin'.
Mom still handlin' the camera?
'She chargin' yuh yet? She'z gettin' good enough.

Aaay cheeze!
Not fer nothin' man, but any road whut followz'a river'z most alwayz Searz Best, Heavy-Duty twisty. River roadz're some'a my favoritez.

[gomarlins3]

My morning:
85 degrees with the top down, Sue (the wife of 17 years) is in a skirt, the speed limit is 75, Sammy Hagar is on the radio followed by our song: 'Love of a Lifetime'..... Does it get any better than that? I don't think so.

[JOECHY]

Man...... I just like drivin'!

[ol rich]

'Gedd'out there rippin' through the booniez with nobody aroun' 'ceptin'n occasional critter'r two, stop some spot where I could siddown on some deadfall,...

Nice , Java, I agree with the whole thing,.. but gotta say I dunno what kinda critters ya'll have there while puttin' the Stew thru 'er paces, but hereabouts we have some critters like to make my Stew a few feet shorter if one of 'em might just happen to jump out in front o' me around one of them twisties... 'specially in the wee hrs. that's when they like to roam about and cross the paved parts of the area. So as they say(when you take your next early AM ride) .....ya'll take care now... y' heah ??

(Is the upstate NY accent still present in my NCese???)

[Neil]

I don't care if I'm close to 50 and own a red sports car. I don't care what people think or say, I try to make time to drive it but sometimes I'm not so successful. Yes I admit it that the car is a garage queen, but for me there is no other way. I'm just glad I got one cause its a blast for me to drive, like to use all the gears up and down the best way to get the best feeling of what the cars gotta offer.

Dunno about thread as don't wanna go down path that may bring up bad memories or bad karma.....anyway as I used to be in NY a while back I seem to remember that whitish stuff in the pix.... is that what you northerners call....wot is it now... oh yeah... Snow??? and those other vehicles look suspiciously like (cough,,hack...) Miatas?????????I hope at least one has a SC motor and the other is a parts car.

Hey...no snobbin' intended Java...actually that garganzola in the pic looks a lot like the '95 Manana I owned...lessee... right before the '93 triple ruby Vette. Of course, the Manana did have a big ol racin' stripe and the SC power to back up the stripe. I like them cars, but always said what they needed was about 75-100 more HP and the SC did it. But the S2K has it w/o SC and I like that more!!!

BTW- just looked at that long video of the proto S on the Nurburgring... best in-car I ever saw and I think that driver may actually be the Stig from Top Gear.

sev questions rich:

1) is it ol' rich, oil rich, old rich, filthy rich, or is you name richard and you is just old?

3) why is a south carolina motor important (imported)?

4) what part of north cackalack is you stayin' in?

2) welcome from an ex-old north stater.

OK I guess I should speak slower....(sorry couldn't resist that )

1- it's Ol like in Ol Nawth State
3-It's important 'cause it makes the North Carolina motor get more HP (find a state there, pal) by puttin' more ayuh thru the injine.
4-We'all is a leetle nawth o' Rawlee (Louisburg 2b zact)
2-Thanx, ya'll didn't fool me with that tricky numberin' thing y'know.

Q for you bb... how come the move from NC to SC and are you a natural born and bred Carolina guy or an invader from the land of Yankees like me and about a million others lately.???

Keep on, bro.

[bbcricketta]

i know raleigh, dunno no louisburg.

did not never move to south cackalack. has not resided in that state. i am currently in a state of bliss.

i was naturally borne, by my mother, in another state, which was not NC. i would say it was a yankee state during the late misunderstanding.

i was bred in NC, for the most part, GA too some.

daddy was transferred to atlanta (federal pen) from leavenworth in '62, so we moved to be near him.
