Form's New Protoge 5
First off, I have to warn you guys: this is gonna be another long Somatic post, and as a result, most of you will not reply. It is GUARAN-DAMN-TEED to be a very enjoyable read, however.
So I have a couple joints in my bag the other day. Three of them, all of them the large diameter/high THC concentration variety. It was also a very sunny day, and as you may have noticed, we have not had one of these in a long time. So I call up Vince and tell him to get ready. Since we live aboot 1 minute apart, I was at his house in a flash. He hopped in the Z and we were off. We got onto Highway One and didn't exit until we passed the Ironworker's Memorial bridge. Ten minutes later, we had reached our destination: The Salmon Hatchery. If you're asking why the hell we were there, the answer is this. It's spawning season, and we wanted to see some mutha fuckin' salmon. Seeing them jump the barriers in the fish ladder while you're fucking cooked is an experience all to itself, believe me. Phase One was now done and over with: we were FUCKING BAKED.So after that, we hop in the Z to do our all time favorite activity: hardcore, unesesssary cruisin'. So we get back onto Capilano Road and head towards the Lion's Gate, which as you know leads to the dowtown core and most importantly, Robson Street. After we got our cruisin' fix, we started the trek back to Coquitlam, as we had some Lazer Taggin' to do. We found ourselves back on The Georgia Viaduct where Vincent and I had resumed our usual conversation aboot modes of transportation that include an internal combustion engine. The usual subject of what we'd do to a Corvette if we had one was exausted, imports we're the topic of the day. Our conversation about really fast Hondas in Sunny Southern California was cut short when I noticed a silver Mazda Protoge 5 occupying the right lane. I have liked this car even before Mazda started importing examples across the Pacific. It reminded me of how cool a station wagon can be. The point: you don't have to be a soccer mom to have one of these cars. Anyways we resumed the usual route of conversation: what we'd do to this car if we had one, with money being absolutely no object. This is how it went down. Dwight: Zoom, zoom, zoom. *like the commercial* Vince: Fuck that's a nice ride. Dwight: I'd put the hugest fucking turbo on that...... Vince: Yeah man, so much torque steer. Dwight: You'd have to put some 18's on that, Yokohama rubber....... FWD good. Vince: 225's all around....... gunmetal rims, fuck........ Dwight: Big Baer brakes, 14 inch rotors, 6 piston calipers....... Vince always talks aboot torque steer, but you get the idea. For some reason we were driving really slow and the sun was just going down, casting an odd shadow on the driving surface. A little ways past GM Place, the shadow was gone and the sun was shining onto the little Protoge, as if she wanted everyone to admire the sticker attatched to her rear window. It was a very large one and the letters on it went something like this: www.form-kaos.com At this point we could not contain our excitement. I promply selected third gear and opened up the throttle. I accelerated to the point where the Z was directly beside them and then applied the brakes in order to slow to their pace. Upon looking into the confines of the little Mazda, we found it's occupants to be none other than DJ-Form and kiMMie. We engaged in a conversation with them. It was all for naught, however, as the the Color Me Badd cd blasting from from my AC Delco supplied stereo system proved to be detrimental to our conversation. I simply replied, "Nice ride, man." I had no idea what Vincent was saying, but I'm sure it was was gospel. Hey, give me a break, I was baked!!! So that's it. There's my story. Congrats on your new ride, Form, as we all know you made a great decision. I'll put it this way: if Dwight was to foray into the world of Japanese compacts, he would gone the exact same way. I don't mean to sound cocky, but I guess there is no other way around it. If someone thinks like Dwight, he has good taste. I think Vince and kiMMie can vouch for me on that. -Dwight:Somatic:

That was a funny story Dwight! :Kam: I knew it was you guys right away, and we were slowing down waiting for you to catch up to us, but I guess it was then that you and Vince were checking out the car, huh?
kiMMie: Holy Lex, is that Vince and Dwight? Lex: I don't know...are you sure? kiMMie: I think it was...let's wait up for them... Lex: Holy shit...my grandmother drives faster than that! kiMMie: (turns to see two car veer infront of the Z) Uh...yeah... We were doing about 40km waiting for you guys :041: And I thought I recognized that song that was blasting from you car... :Kimmie: Kekekekekeke... Color Me Badd...that's ol' skool bro! It was nice seeing you guys on the road anyhoo... *waves at Vince and Dwight* Me :027: s the car too... *ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM* (it corners nice)

LOL!!
Well here I am having breakfast and drinking coffee when I see this post so I open it up with great interest. It was funny because we both looked and right away we saw a face we couldn't miss.
Somatics face. Sorry Vince I think you were invisible at the time. Or just too baked to sit forward. It's funny how 2 people's day can somehow link and I’ll tell you the story leading up to when we saw you. I was spinning at Below the Belt and Kimmie was hanging around the store and also with some of her girlfriends. It was 6 o'clock and I had just finished so we decided to head back to New West for some food. As we were driving down Georgia St we spot a Z hitting the on-ramp around the library/Shark Club area. Kimmie says hey that looks like Somatic...I’m like yah it sure does...but he's driving very slow...We both pause and I change gears accordingly to see if the Z catches up to say hi. It seemed like an eternity. I let a 87 Honda civic with 2 old Iranians pass me just to give you an idea of how slow I was going =). Moments later, in my rear view mirror, I can see 2 smiley faces gleaming over the dashboard. LOL "it is Somatic & Vince" I say. A few seconds later they are driving next to us despite the 2 lanes of traffic that now must suffer because we're having an open discussion about our days.. I say screw em let's chat. So I didn't hear any of the Color me Bad songs but I could hear Vince saying something about a Salmon Hatchery..Then something about me getting a yellow protégé rather than a silver one. It was a good conversation ended with a hilarious laugh by Somatic... All in all it was hella fun and we should get some more f&k car meets.... ~At least if I decide to deck out the protégé I know whom to contact... Peace guys...it was fun...

I found out aboot the Below the Belt thing much too late. I read the thread in the Event Section forum this morning. Oh well, next time.
Yeah, the slow thing, that was because we were fucking baked. We juss get way too into our surroundings when we're intoxicated and that's one of the reasons why I was inspired to write that story(I do that all the time). Yeah man, that was a serious trip. You gotta get me a sticker. Not one that big, though. Next time we see each other I'll show you my ideas. Unforgettable laughs??? Yeah, kiMMie, I tend to have that kind of effect on people. -Dwight:Somatic:
