Well, no Salt Lick, but we may be heading to Blanco

 

Hardscrabble is good too! You just have special memories of that place because it's where we went on your first drive.

 

:shakehead That's fucked up

 

He was warned. I'm not an evil person, but I don't like having to repeat myself when it comes to doing things to me that I don't like.

 

I agree and it is just wrong.

 

What the hell did he do?

 

Put his tarantula on the arm while laying on the couch watching tv...for the second time after being warned.

 

Who did this?? In in response, you blended his tarantula in a banana milkshake???

 

you blended his pet in a milkshake and then made him drink it all because he put it on you. That is an awful thing to do. Sure it is a creepy bug but it is his pet and then to kill it is wrong!!!

 

Now I have to hear the entire story!!!

 

I think that is the entire story Trey!! this is becoming a DFW meet thread 2

 

punch him in the throat or something, don't kill a pet (albeit a weird one)

 

He always put it on us and was asked to cut it out. He wasn't really that attached to it. Seriously. We all got a good laugh out of it.

 

Kurt-That was a dick thing to do.


I got to tell you though, that is about the funniest thing I have heard in a while.

 

Who's tarantula was it?? That's the part I missed.

 

I think the guy that drank it was the guy that owned it

 

Is he on the site? Or on the hill country drive site?

 

ding ding ding

Neither. Random dude when it comes to sites.

 

i'm in for the drive. how many acura's is that now?

 

i personally am not going to attend the next few summer events because they are shorter and it will be kinda pointless for me to drive from here to there. I think there might be 4 if we all attended, plus you.

 

where in austin are you?? I live in austin and try to make the drives. My brother(atxcls) goes alot as well. When there is another one you should try and make it out!

 

This drive is going to be a little bit shorter (as in just over 100 miles rather than 140-160). We're going to meet at the usual spot, but we're going to be headed to Blanco this time. This route is similar to the route we did in January 2005. It's a fun route, has a nice stretch on 281, and will include lunch in Blanco.

For those of us that were on that drive in January, we did learn a few things:

Vipers have to stop for gas more frequently than a school bus full of Kindergarten kids need to hit the Potty.

The drive between Johnson City and Blanco takes about 7 minutes (even if it is ~17 miles).

Anyone that wants more details, check out www.hillcountrydrives.com and if you still want to know more, PM me.

 

Right now i'm in south austin near Ben White & I-35 (Working at the accenture building), i'm actually looking for a place to live. Until then, its the hotels for me. I just moved here from DC about 2 days ago, so i look forward to meeting more people.

 

You should check us out. Did you check out the site? If you don't think you're up for the driving yourself, feel free to ride shotgun with one of us. I usually go down there by myself, so I've usually got a free seat.

 

yeah, i signed up on the hillcountry site and look forward to the meet. I'm mostly stock, but i've been wanting to go for a fun drive ever since i bought the CL-S about a year ago.

 

mine was basically stock last time, you'll do fine man...i would suggest RIDING your first time through to watch how everyone drives. VERY CURTEOUS and CAUTIOUS.

 

I live south too... welcome to austin. If you want maybe some day we all should meet up and show you around a bit.

 

Also make sure you're not too attached to your front rotors. They're going to be toast after your first drive with us. CL-S rotors can't handle proper spirited driving.

 

Hahaha, I toasted mine several times in the six months that I owned the car

 

by toasted, do you guys mean they are gonna end up all warped or just glowing red?

 

Warped, obliterated, completely fucked. Whatever you want to call it. You'll be lucky if you can just resurface them after a couple drives with us.

The brakes on the S2K are pretty good for the weight of the car, so I don't kill them that often. I'm only on my 3rd set @ 46K miles. Thankfully, OEM replacement rotors for the S2K only cost me $125 shipped for the front pair. Then I just slap them on, scrub my pads, and I'm ready to go.

 

mine(brembos-4 months old) are warped to all shit after the last run.

 

Your car weighs about 500 lbs more than mine.

 

i think my axle probs (ball joints, cv's, etc.) are a result of my fine driving as well.

 

so mine are just starting to get warped, i guess now's as good a time as any to fuck em up and then replace em after the drive, eh?

 

, & i like the way you think. For a lot of the curvy stuff i was in SS and kept it in 2nd, somtimes 3rd. When you get on the brakes, for me, it was usually hard and fast.

 

Good call.

 

So who's coming this weekend? Shorter route, yet a little more room to stretch your car's legs.

Man, I wish I could make it. But after reading the last few posts, I'm kinda worried the stock CL-S won't make it through the drive. The last thing I want to do is f-up the daily driver

 

This route isn't that bad at all. Not nearly the braking input that the more Northern route offers. This one has a little more open course that has higher speed turns instead of low 2nd gear sweeps and tons of heel-toe fun.

The CL-S should be fine on this one. I take my daily driver on every drive we do. Hell, even the TSX gets a little action out there.
