Post up if your interested...

more details to come soon, I Just wanted to get the date out.

 

In like Flynn

 

Depends on the time, but I will likely be out. I've got a soccer game at 2:15.

 

I'll be there. We'll probably bring the S2K also.

 

Do you guys want to run our normal loop or do we want to venture out a little bit more (like end up in denton..)

 

Cool with whatever.

 

I know your down with it because it's closer to your house when we get done..

 

But not nearly as close as it is to mine.

Speaking of, want to swing by with my tools? lol

 

normally i would be in town for this, but i'll be in cleburne for my 2nd round interview with schlumberger.

 

What are you looking to do with them? My buddy works at Schneider.

 

field engineering.

living on an oil rig in saudi arabia. maybe. dunno where i'll end up. but i hear its a great company to work for.

 

And who doesn't like saying the word "schlumberger"?

 

I actually got my first job offer from Schlumberger-definitely the most in-depth, coolest interview process EVER, hope you love it!!

And I'd love to make this but I really don't think I can! I blame Toyota.

But Scott, send me a text with a time and stuff once it's decided, ok? Cuz I never remember to check this!

And I have no preference on courses, it is all new to me now!

 

Subbed for interest

 

So what's up with this? Postponed cuz of weather? Let's blame Toyota.

 

70% chance of rain sunday. if it continues we may have to postpone. unless you still want to run rain or shine...

 

I'm down if we postpone it. Rain = dangerous

 

No way man, rain = fun with a hint of danger.

 

Not on these roads, and not with how little rain there has been of late. Rain = ice on small 2 lane country roads with no shoulders and not many bail options.

 

Why not have a meet up at a starbucks or something? this way everyone can get out but we dont have to worry about driving too much in the rain?

Oh, sorry... Im Joshua i just signed up a week ago.

 

Didn't you say you drive a new mazda 6?...An rx8 handles a bit differently in the rain...lol

This goes back to the message you sent me and the advice I gave you...Know who you're drive with, the car they drive, how it handles, and their driving style.

 

Is this the Josh that came out to Jakes on thursday?

 

Yes am fully aware of the different handling characteristics between a speed and Rx8. I have all-wheel-drive, you don't. Mine weighs over 3300lbs, yours just over 3100lbs. Mine understeers like a snow plow, yours oversteers like a sports car should. But let me ask you this. When it rains on race day do they cancel the race? No. They use different tires, change the way they drive, steer less with the right pedal and more with middle one, use more caution, and more importantly they know there car. The is Texas and bad weather is pretty bad here. But if you just hang up the keys at any sign of anything other than dry weather than what's the point in having the car. Every car has its weather detriments but it's how well you know your car and can drive according to the conditions.
Hey if you don't want to drive in the rain. Fine stay at home and office the road. More room for us how can actually enjoy the wet and not have to worry about scared drivers "daring" the conditions.

Just my opinion though. What I know I just drive a Mazda, like you, just trying to hang out with other Mazdas, like you.

 

not the same josh, i have not been to any meet ups yet.

 

Phil, I think given your newness here and the fact that you know none us, you shouldn't be acting all high and mighty. You've never driven with us and dont know our attitude or driving style and trying to call us out for not wanting to drive in the rain is childish.

Also, while I can't speak for everyone in this thread or this subforum, I know at least several others if not a majority of us have no interest in hanging out with other Mazda's. Posts like this are likely why.
