Oh really? What else do you guys recommend that isn't necessary? Is it to cover your ass, or just because you enjoy confusing us technically illiterate?
I've noticed that my right turn signal doesn't always disengage automatically after the turn. Is it time for the SVT blinker-fluid upgrade?
See y'all Saturday. I'll be easy to spot, the one with green license plates.

It's not unnecessary, it's just that you don't have to worry about not driving. They recommend you take easy because there is a coating of material on new pads and rotors that needs to be worn away before the brakes will perform to its max potential.

Hey, it's cool, I was being facetious. Jeff's an old bud of mine and he's worked all over my car - including replacing brake rotors... he didn't mention anything about taking it easy on them then [I'm NOT a technician, but every now and then I believe I am, in my garage]
Looks like you and I will be vying for couch space on Saturday night. See you then!

The weather was great, the rain stopped while we were there. I am very pleased that we could have this meet. It is a big morale booster to see other cars like ours and meet their proud owners.
Feel that there is great potential to draw lots of other owners if we could reach them and tell them about- CONTOUR.ORG-
The advantages of belonging to a group are many. Its like having a friend in need when we get faced with crisis with our cars. There is so much to learn, share. The pride of ownership is something special.
I will try to write out a flyer that can be left on windshields. We need to do good PR work. I can find lots of motivating ideas that will appeal to people.
I see lots of cars like ours but have been unable to contact them. Will try to map out a good marketing strategy.
Thanks to the organisers for taking the time to do it and to Jeff for inviting people to his home. We have a great bunch of people.
When will the next time be?
