Wrecking Crew / DMV owners roll call

  • I was thinking that maybe the Wrecking Crew needs a logo... maybe something like this...

    By the power vested in me, by me, I say no. A firm no.


    We do need a logo, so thanks for bringing that to the fore. I'm thinking a hatchet, from @Cameron Roberts using a hatchet from @MACAWS to adjust his brakes at track day last year. That's what got me thinking about the crew in the first place. But, I've been thinking that for a year and a half, and other ideas are welcome. Maybe we need a logo committee. As it is, I am overwhelmed with my current crew responsibilities.

    I love these last two but probably not the message we want to project. ;)

  • I made something during lunch... what do y'all think?


    Interesting, but a bit too busy for a logo.

  • Georgia and I were in Branson, MO for a little vacation time last week...I stopped and picked up a case of Milkyway Carmel Apple minis at the day after 1/2 price sale and thought I bought a bunch...we are going to need a whole lots of guys and gals passing out candy this year... (I like the Milkyway candy so I thought if there was some left over that would be OK)


    Well, if it helps, I got clearance from Mission Control (the Mrs.) to make the trip and help with the escort! I'll be riding solo, so I may have to enlist a local to ride shotgun and pelt those little boogers with candy to keep them from getting grubby fingerprints all over my Madelyn. :D


    @V-SHOT, you're based out of VA Beach, yes? If you're heading out from that area on Friday morning and you're route will be taking you through Frederick or Hagerstown (MD), we could meet up out there and I can draft behind you to save on gas! Or vice versa. :thumbup:

    @Gadgeteer, Velma and I will be trailering up to La Porte, Indiana after work on Wednesday after work. Don't think my wife could take chill of the "open ride" of the Sling for the trip up and back. Are you going to be trailering your Sling, or braving the low temps and Slingin' up to La Porte? Either way, it's sure to be a grand time!!! There are a BUNCH of Slingshot owners in and around La Porte. Hopefully, we can get a bunch of them to join in on the fun!!!!! @Jdin Chicken Run was amazing!!! Sure hope La Porte and the 30 Degree temps are just as amazing!!!! :thumbsup: See ya' there!!!!!

    Nah, I'll be toughing it out in the cockpit. No worries; it all about the journey and I've managed worse. Heated gloves make all the difference. :)


    Look forward to seeing you there and meeting some of the locals. I've never had a very good reason to visit Indiana, so this is as good any and better than others.

    Considering how big it looks on google maps, you'd probably love to have anyone visit La Porte, IN. ;)


    Just kidding, I'm looking forward to the adventure and meeting folks IRL. :thumbup:

    Heated gloves good...a heated 12v seat pads very 'cheap' and can do a nice job on cold adventures....

    My ass already has a decent layer of insulation on it, my core too, but I appreciate the tip and may look into. :D

    Edited once, last by Gadgeteer ().

  • Yay! A HUGE YAY!


    We just harvested @Ross. Normally, I ask for a 2nd for membership, but I pulled rank on this one. Ross made one freakin' outstanding calendar for the SS family, which included crew members on both the front and back covers, and several of us were sprinkled all through. Did I mention that the calendar was freakin' awesome?


    Welcome Ross! Hope to visit you some day!


    Applause!

  • As always, if any of the Wrecking Crew find themselves in the land of cheese and beer (Wisconsin) our home is open and includes a Slingshot to wrench on if need be, a grill that can be fired up in minutes for steaks or burgers with a liquor store a block away and the brewery that makes Spotted Cow about 10 minutes down the road


    Look forward to seeing you guys soon and making the crew proud
