Hello everybody!

Check this out. August 4 is also the 212th Birthday for the United States Coast Guard. That's right 212 years of guarding our boarders and saving lives. So if anybody has any pull at this event, a little remembrance for the Coast Guard and other Armed Sevices is always appreciated. Hoo Rah!

Heres a little History for ya'll

http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-cp/history/collect.html

Now if you didn't know there happens to be a lot of Coast Guard in the Bay Area. One of the Boot Camp locations used to be Alameda Island in S.F., this base is still highly active but no longer serves in the Basic Training role. There are many cutters and small boats stationed there. Also, In Petaluma (less than an hour North) is a large training center where they teach many of us Coasties how to do our jobs ie: Electronics Tech.

Thanks for listening!

"August 4 is also the 212th Birthday for the United States Coast Guard. "

Wow, you don't say....

Mike, if you can't make this show, you are a three legged monkey-hum**** sack of poopoo. I'll be there and will take lots of pix...

MSA was/is great and all, but with the 350's and MrK showing up (i.e. Nissan support) all I can say is, "Take THAT, MSA!"

Owen? Royce? I will meet you at ZFEST right???? We need a little sign of something--like a gang signal! Something.....how about a little White-Out 'Z' somewhere on the car. Somewhere it won't detract from judging or anything (not that my beater will be judged very hard!!!) Would the lower corner of the windshield on the passenger side be too ugly? Just put a little '240z.org' there with White-Out.

And nobody pop up here and say, "See?...we should have 240z.org sitckers." I wouldn't put a sticker on my car if you paid me.
