New from south jersey

Shillay · 12-04-2007, 07:10 AM

Hello everyone. I just purchased a new 08 CR. It's on order now but will be here around mid Jan. Wish me luck!

Java Junky · 12-04-2007, 10:08 AM

Lots'a luck with it, pull a keg upta the potbellied n set a spell. Mid-Joisey myself.
Of course, as a new member you realize that you've godda buy a roun' fer the house, right?
All kiddin' aside Shill, takin' delivery when the ground'z cold'z gonna be a true test'a yer restraint. She comes with max summer tires n' they don't cotton to cold streets n' cold in general. They grip ta beat the band in the warm, but the cold tends ta make 'em put the fingers that they grip with in their pockets ta keep warm.
If ya kin keep it oud'a the weeds until until it warms up, you're gonna be one pleased individual.
Be well,
Java

Welcome to the site. Good luck on the wait. I ordered mine in December of 2001 and had to wait 6 WEEKS for mine to arrive. Mrs. GM3 has stated that that was the LONGEST 6 weeks of our marriage.

Dr. Jimbo · 12-04-2007, 11:40 AM

Put 'er in the garage and wait til the thaw. Christmas presents are the only thing that should be wrapped around a tree.

Congrats on the CR. At least you'll have some time to find the secret compartment.

Ty guys. I looks like im going to have to buy some winter tires now. I have waited for years and now i can afford it. I don't want it around a tree.

zoomie92 · 12-04-2007, 12:39 PM

Real close to u, if u r south-jersey, guess we need to hook up with Java and buy a round or more. 'bout to put winters on myself. gonna run my ride all year. gotta.

Shillay · 12-04-2007, 12:58 PM

Sounds good to me Zoom. When i get it on the road il let you guys know.

Dr. Jimbo · 12-04-2007, 01:30 PM

Do they use sand or salt on the icy roads? Either one = no good. I guess I'd get a beater S for the winter (if I could find one). Well, here in Santa Barbara, It's in the 70's right now. The only way I have to worry about salt or sand is if I go ass first around one of the corners down by the beach and end up in the ocean. Sorry guys, I am kinda rubbin' it in. You're all in the 30's right now and I'm getting a suntan. Actually, I'm really rubbing it in.
Top always down!

Don't mind him guys. He's a little cocky now he's got an "h" on his keyboard.
Java

Yup Doc. Except for outright downpours, top's always down.

s2000isu · 12-04-2007, 02:52 PM

Do I smell a gathering soon? Maybe a group sos what do ya think jack?

zoomie92 · 12-06-2007, 01:59 PM

Sounds like a gathering might be in the works. Just got my silver bullet back from the shop...lookin' sweet, but snow already on the street, OUCH. Yeah, it's in the '30s what's up.

Java Junky · 12-06-2007, 02:28 PM

In case anybody who's thinkin' winter tires'z missed my other posts, check out the folks at TireRack first as to what's the latest n' best available for snowshoes for Stewie.
N' if the Dunlop WinterSport3s r' still the top dog, I can whole-heartedly vouch for 'em. It ain't like drivin' on the 'Stones in the summer, but it's a far cry from drivin' 'roun' with yer sphincter set to maximum pucker waitin' for the slip-n'-slide that you know you're only inches away from.
Anybody'z godda particular choke-n'-puke that they like on'an early Sunday mornin' lemme know. 'Gimme an excuse to go out n' try'da stretch a few corners a little further ta the outside.
Let's be careful out there,

N' Doc, very much liked your tree comment. You do have your moments, even if you do drive a red one.

Dr. Jimbo · 12-07-2007, 11:52 AM

Thanks Java, I thought it was pretty witty. Gotta take advantage of those moments when they come along. And as for red, I originally wanted blue. I went to a dealership, he gave me a postcard with a red S on it, and I put it up on my "wish board". You get what you focus on, as my wife says. Now I'd like an '07 spa yellow in addition to the red one. Then I can drive a taxi and a fire truck. Really, I'm serious.

Java Junky · 12-07-2007, 01:51 PM

Give a Doc an H n' he goes all ta 'ell with 'imself.

Smart man. Where did you go wrong?

Dr. Jimbo · 12-07-2007, 04:25 PM

The postcard of the red S on my wish board did it. I bet if I put the pic of the General Lee S up there, I'd own that now. You get what you focus on.

Java Junky · 12-07-2007, 08:53 PM

So Doc, wha'cher sayin' is . . if you'd'a had one'a DDJs Maverick Grabber flicks . . . . right about now you'd be makin' Jagg jealous?
