Glad it’s just that.

Pulling out your phone to see if there's a notification is a shorter drive than turning around. :fred:

My garage door is manual. And steel. Because steel is real.

You settled for only 100 miles. I don't know . . .

Another 50 miles is a big add-on. Double metric option would've been nice.

My alarm system app on my phone shows me whether my garage door is open or not and, yes, I do have to pull over and check the app occasionally.

My main concern is whether he knows his garage door is open.

My main concern is that we have another person posting those.

Yes. She lives in NJ. She had a (thankfully unsuccessful) overdose in the spring of last year and had a very unusual brain injury that made her need lots of care and rehab. It was essentially a hard reset to much of her brain so she had to relearn many basic skills. She spent all of last summer here (doing outpatient rehab and Mrs datlas took care of her), and thankfully has had a good recovery so she is back in her apartment in NJ, we don’t see her too often but every couple of months.

Oh I remember some of that.

You can post Honda pics if you want.

One thing that amazes/cracks me up is how turn-of-the-century S2000s regularly go for more than similar year/mileage/condition Boxsters these days.

LesterOfPuppets 06-18-22 10:13 PM

Trying to decide if I should make this my first concert I attend since Covid hit. But dang $63, considering the last time I saw them was with New Order and Gene Loves Jezebel and it seems like tix were $12.

My dentist loves the S2000s. His wife (hygienist) saved her money and found him a really clean one. He had it for a couple years and one day it was parked behind his office and a woman throttled her car into a parking stop and launched it on top of the S2000. Destroyed it.

I am willing to consider posting a Saturn pic of the day, but am pretty sure the interest and/or excitement level would be too low.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.

yikes

S2000 might be in my future - but if prices continue to climb this option might be less attractive

saw them in the late 80's

also saw New Order around that time - with Tears for Fears and one other band (can't recall)

I put on a handle bar bag and put 2 bottles in there but I couldn't get comfortable with the way it affected the steering feel and the bag took away some of my hand position. I could never use a bottle launcher (seat post cage) because it would interfere with my badonkadonk.

on the road - it was rare for anyone to use a camelbak ...

off road - most of us used a camelbak ... sometimes I would also use one small bottle (with Cytomax or similar)

I feel left out. No kids to buy me a tie or English Leather cologne.

I can't believe all the weekend talk about sailing didn't remind me of this pop classic until now.

bampilot06 06-19-22 06:04 AM

it was cold this morning. I had to wear arm warmers.


Happy Father’s day!

I posted a pic a couple years ago of a local used car dealer that had a load of Saturns. I thought that he had finally sold them all, but when I drove by recently, there was a half dozen more in the lot. :)
