Walked out of there thinking I just got out of the most weird conversation.
20-25 years ago a company called Monster Motorsports produced about 275 Monster & Mega Monster Miatas. They used 5.0 Ford motors. Mega Monster was supercharged.

Me: Um, yeah

Kenny: You can put the top down whenever you want

Me: Its fast too

Kenny: Yeah, it doesn't have a lot of weight to haul around. Sedans and SUV's weigh more, so they aren't as fast, even if they have more power.

Me: Right. Ya know, you're one smart kid Kenny. I can't tell you how many adults don't understand that. How old are you?

Kenny: 6

Kenny then changed the subject to talk about how insects are part of the food chain, after another little girl was like, 'ewwww, a bug'. Then he took a nap.
A good kid.

I was going through some paperwork and found this. My wife and I were in the Smoky Mt. National park coming home from the casino in Cherokee, headed to Pigeon Forge where we were staying. If you've ever driven through the park headed in this northwest direction toward the Gatlinburg entrance, you might have discovered that you can coast pretty much from the mid point all the way to Gatlinburg. That is what I was doing when he lit me up somewhere near the entrance parking lot area.



What did this person say that was funny about my S2000? He said(wrote) that it was a sedan...........he said I had TN plates

Today after a S2000 meet i went to a car wash to clean the S2k. While doing this a little kid appeared (about 11 years old) and asked wich car was this. I explained some things about the car and then he said when i grow up i want to have a racing car like yours. Nice to see how this car with this age still turns so much attention.

My mom comes to visit me randomly one day. Then she follows to ask me when I bought a Porsche. Goes on to talk about a time she had a friend with a Porsche and rode around with the top down for about 15 minutes. I guess she didn't see the H emblems or the S2000 on the side of the car.

Kids always say stuff to me. I think the yellow S2000 with the black TR Motorsports wheels does look a lot more like a hotwheels car, so I can see the appeal for kids Its always cool to see kids get excited about cars, so I am happy when they ask, point etc.

context: my 6 year old and I are entering an interstate on ramp...360 degree loop.

as I'm accelerating through the turn, she says " I like the s2000, because it doesn't lean over as much as mommies car in turns.( a kia soul, great car BTW). That's because it is lower to the ground. so we can go faster around the turn."

I know plenty of adults that do not understand body roll as much as she does...

also she has learned my distaste for mustangs.. :-)
