Banquet night... Raul's telling the bit about folks always volunteering, but never knows who they are.

Raul: "Thanks for coming."
Owner: "If there's anything I can do, let me know."
Raul: :Thank you, sir.

He then says how he can't remember everyone's name... that we need to make a bigger impression on him. Someone in the crowd yells, "BEND OVER!!!"

After pumping for gas someone asked if we were all together for a reason.

ME: "Its for this weekend event called Wake the dragon."

I continue to describe the event and it's purpose explaining to him that over 175 registered online through an S2000 community forum to meet for this weekend.


He has a disturbed look and comments...

HIM: "and you guys all own these cars yourself?, Did this club give you these cars? do you own them?"

ME: I laughed and answered "Yea"

HIM: "cool, so is it free?"

ME: "public roads are free...but we registered a reasonable fee for dinner and other arrangments for the event. We have to pay for our own gas, food, and stay."

HIM: "So if I owned one, then I'm automatically in?"

ME: "of course just sign up online"

HIM: "Awesome!"

Needing to find a dealership that might have an S2000 thermostat in stock(btw, should you need one, check the Acura dealership as it is used in some of theirs), I ask one of the ladies at the Deal's Gap store is I could get the phone number of the Airport Honda dealership.

When one of the girls goes to the office area to look for the number, the ponytailed jerk-off that must run the place quips, "Yes, dealership? I need wiper blades for my Civic."



Sunday I'm in there to pick up a couple of last minute souvenoirs and the same guy makes some wise-ass crack about the group just as I was paying for the shirt/hat. I almost insisted on a refund right there. Guess our(my) money is undesirable to him.
Same guy asked Quivers and I to move our S2000's to the back of the lot (we were tucked up against the side, not blocking anything)... meanwhile there were about 200 bikes parked all over the lot blocking everything. I don't plan on spending any money there again.

LOL I had forgotten that.

My personal favorite was any one of the hundred times Raul mentioned how great Phil was at polishing knobs...
