S2000's are only gay if you rev it about as high as you guys on the 1930's tech two wheeled tractors. No tickets other than the odd speeding ticket on the freeway. Don't speed around town. I do have a restored 67 Camaro in the garage with a 502ci big block that I'm fuel injecting... Ace cruising through town deafening those slow Harley riders and much fun in a straight line but with the exception of Vettes and one or two low production cars most American V8's handle like big boats and are no fun to drive on narrow twisty roads and I'll be fcuked if I'm doing another 3000+ road trip in a big V8 car with old school tech and no Air Con... As for the hillbillies doing shale - we have a big presence in shale and tar sands and our safety stats are pretty damned good. You need to tell y'all folk out there to use the right tools for the job and to stop smoking while extracting hydrocarbon or producing moonshine. Fracking - it's not something you do naked with your inlaws in the wood shed. Either way, the earth may move for you while doing either.CAMPYBOB said:Quote by froze: "Speaking of roundabouts, I don't get these things, we have two in this town and they are indeed demolition derby circles, yet the city says they're safer and are building more." Same in my area. Tow truck companies love them. The local immature kiddies enjoy bouncing their cars off the curbs and bending those $500-a-pop double-deuces into pretzels. The Yuropeeons are much better at them than us'n 'Muricans...oh wait... ...and you hardly ever hear of a cyclist killed in one... Quote by Swami: "We have a couple in town and one of them is small enough to get the tires screaming at 7,500rpm in first gear in the S2000 if I really want to loon around it. That gives another 1,500rpm of sayonara Mr fat American pig car when exiting said roundabout." Well, now we know why you don't need booze to drive like a moron. How many Wreckless Op citations have you paid for endangering the public and using public roads as your slalom course? Brilliant! Perhaps you better go back to drinking heavily and finish the job you started. You sound just like our local mullet-wearing, Camaro-driving billhillys...except for that gay S2000 thing.
Damn straight! Noise ordinances are only broken when the gas pedal is mashed to the carpet. While Harley's can ride on wide open throttle for about half an hour in a given gear to get to 60mph, the Camaro only takes a few seconds. Cops generally can't figure out how to stop chewing their donuts and stick their head out of the window in time to pinpoint the blue noise maker. Don't forget exceeding the speed limit on mountain descents on the bicycle. If I wanted to run the cars really hard again I'll get my SCCA membership renewed and start racing again. Would probably get a good 125cc shifter kart rather than messing around putting a ton of money into a car that'll nearly always be slower. The S2000 is too fast to really have some good fun in nearly all situations given the cars silly gearing but putting on some less grippy tires (all seasons rather than ultra high performance summer or DOT track tires) allows fun that takes advantage of the 1st gen S2000 tail happy suspension geometry at legal speeds.CAMPYBOB said:Quote by Swami: "Â Ace cruising through town deafening..." So...you not only drive like a moron, you violate noise ordinances while doing so. Brilliant!
I'm not sure how the Honda S2000 got associated with being "gay", I associate the Smart car as being a "gay" car but certainly not the Honda S2000.Originally Posted by swampy1970

True dat!
"Jed Clampette was a Hillbilly"
So...he was a French hillbilly?
"and I am probably a Hillbilly but would not drive a Camaro"
Even hillbillies have 'sensibilities'.
"although some of the older ones are pretty classic."
Aside from Mark Donahue's old Penske No. 6...no.
"Please note the difference in Hillbilly, redneck or good old boy."
Usually, the classes are distinguished by the length of the mullet or if'n a Duck Dynasty recliner chair is in the garage.
Canz Iz buy sum of dat corn whiskey from ye?
I use to own a Bronco II, I actually liked the vehicle even though most people I ever talked to that owned them said they had problems, I never had any issues with the vehicle until the plastic radiator tank blew apart at 248,000 miles while climbing Grapevine in California on hwy 5 with an outside temperature of 95 which instantly pegged my temperature gauge while in the fast lane so it took a bit to get over the lanes to the emergency lane. After that incident the engine knocked and the vehicle was sold.Originally Posted by jhuskey

I do have a Ford Bronco II in my collection of vehicles. I think that gives me at least an invitation for membership in one of the above mentioned groups.

Fart can...wing...kanji decals...LED lights...faux carbon fiber...bling...the gay.

OMGWFBBQ! LMFAO! A fracking joke! Never heard that one before!
Wait...yeah...I have.
Maybe you have some Ebola jokes you can lay on us?
No fart cans, LED lights and such none sense - the thought of removing most of the interior and unnecessary foo-foo junk to lighten the load by a few hundred pounds has crossed my mind. It'd never get as light as my old Miata that a used to race though. Now that Commiefornia no longer tests emmisions at the exhaust, some internal engine mods make take place Every time to sit on the can and take a dump, I bet your entire State thinks there's a massive fracking event going on... The only Ebola joke I have regards yo mamma and a beautician - but kids visit these pages so it's best left unsaid...CAMPYBOB said:Camaro = hillbilly.
