    Mark & Jeff,

    Count me in as a coupe pledge. When is the first "pledge night party?" Will this be like Animal House?

    Mark,

    You may remember this picture from the Turkey Rod Run ... right after the Friday afternoon rainshower. My pic is not as good as the ones Wayne took, but still came out pretty nice.

    Russ,

    Are you going up to Infineon this weekend?

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    Russ,

    I'm going up to see the shock change that Mark originally designed for Karens Coupe, Andy installed it yesterday, I think a game changer for the racing version of the Coupe. I missed Mark last time up there, so I'll get to see him, and I need to talk with Tom Coon, about some OEM replacement stuff. Come on up, I'll buy you a Beer, or Two, or Three, or............

    Did you ever receive a Coupe Jacket? If not "Here's Your Sign!"

    So in the spirit of the Coupe frat...

    Otter: Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these *******s. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
    Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
    D-Day: [stands up] Yeah, I agree. Let's go get 'em.
    Boon: Let's do it.
    Bluto: [shouting] "Let's do it"!
    [all of the Deltas stand up and run out with Bluto]

    Oh, great, another sand box to play in! I was just getting caught up on my reading on the other one. But this one looks like a whole new, fresh, playing field. Cool!!!
    Garry: That is a totally awesome photo! Slick page magazine cover shot awesome. Definitely an inspiration to head out to the man cave and make sparks fly, or something else equally productive.
    I think the secret handshake for the Coupers has got to be back to back so that we can shake with the Coupers club jacket on...

    It's great to be here. Thanks for the compliments. I am still working on more innovations. No wonder my car will never be finished.
