Dan and Mike:
I fully intend to sue if I am not admitted as a team "member," with all rights, privileges and honors accorded to all team members. I can prove that the team members (hereinafter "the creeps") discriminated against me based on my age, poor driving skills, and need to work for a living. While I was earning a living, the creeps established the team without consulting me in direct contravention of my rights. But for this wrongful conduct, I would be General Counsel. If the creeps have any interest in resolving this dispute amicably without the need for time consuming and expensive litigation, and the attendant press coverage, I will settle this unfortunate dispute by accepting membership in the team upon the following terms and conditions:
1. Title: Assistant General Counsel
2. Salary: 75% of the General Counsel's Salary and the same benefits and options.
3. Free laundry service and free detailing of the interior of my car following each driving event.
4. The creeps will keep quite and not disclose that I had to resort to this unseemly approach to become a team "member."
Please reply by 5:00 PM EST tomorrow.

We will not be coerced at bayonet point into letting in any members. Or even be threat of lawsuit.
Hootie in Chi
(however, if you can keep our Legal Counsel on his toes, you're in)
Dan
Excellent work as always (please ignore previous paragraph)
Glenn
Slowing down would help. also accidently hitting your windshield wipers occassionally while driving will make you seem like one of us:
"The Few. The Proud. The Slow."

Dear Mr. Magee:
We are in receipt of your post expressing your "intention" to file suit unless we capitulate to your ridiculous demands. We apologize for the delay in responding, but our tears of laughter clouded our vision of the computer screen.
Apparently, you have mistaken us for gutless, sappy people who run at the sound of the first round being chambered. Does this tactic actually work in College Town, Texas? Notwithstanding your typical lawyerly bravado, we know it's an empty threat. After all your age, admittedly poor driving skill and lack of financial independence are all qualifications for the Team. If you thought the time to type your post would land you in Lucky Town, you should have spent it driving to buy a lottery ticket. Anyway, we thought we'd settle this Texas style. Expect a visit from our Special Ops division to assist you in better understanding your situation.
Alternatively, your post did strike a certain dysfunctional chord suggesting a place for you on the Team. Further, since we already have one Doctor and one Accountant, we could use two lawyers to double bill them.
Therefore, without any admission of wrongdoing or liability, and without waiving any rights the Team may have, I will recommend that Mike the Magnificent consider your appointment as "Assistant General Counsel" with the following conditions:
1. Title: Assistant General Counsel
2. Salary: you will not be required to pay anything for the honor bestowed upon you.
3. Upon request, you will provide the General Counsel with the beverage of his choice limited to 1 such request during any calendar month.
4. You will not be required to drive with Glen less than 3 hours after having eaten.
You have 24 hours to consider your alternatives.
Sincerely,
Dan
Team General Counsel
Special Consigliere for Mike (on loan from his wife)

I find the finesse displayed above so much more elegant a solution than a visit from Noneck. Particularly the double-billing strategy -- that will pay for a lot of mods.

Dan,
"Consigliere"? I like the sounds of that? That would make Mike "the Godfather", no?
At the rate that this team is growing, I will have to buy a bigger cooler. Will all team members be required to attend the F1 race in Indy for "The Annual Meeting" - to be held immediately following the Ray Calvo Fan Club meddling?

Mike, what about me and my little white car? I did have to fish a water bottle out from under the brakes in a DE at Gingerman...the starter got a good laugh from that one!

Jeff is in, he drives an antique racecar from 1974, so he has to be slow.
Besides all us old married team members can live vicariously through his experiences away from the track. In fact, perhaps Jeff can be the Team Procuror <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
(Patricia, be careful around him)
Anir, why do you assume it's water in the water bottle?

Jeff, fits right in, he is not slow, his car is...
Sorry Jeff, could not resist.
So let's see, we have:
993's
Jeff's 74 911 Euro, (wanabe RS)
944's
Boxsters
A nice Turbo
Several Cabs
Several full on race cars
A soon to be SRF (or two)
Where are our brothers and sisters with the 964'sand 996's?
Joey Bagofdonuts, where the hell are you??

Shhhhhhhhh. You're the "Training Director," remember? You're real function is a secret ... few know your name ... at times you don't exist ... and then you're never seen ... you move silently and leave no trace ... and you drive a stealth P-car <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />
BTW, do NOT visit Don in Texas. It was a joke. He's really OK. Your mission is aborted.
