<VV> 2007 guidelines...

[Secular]

  Some guidelines for 2007:

  Although 2006 was indeed quite fruitful (torching 
  magnesium fans and discussing the wiper refills in over 
  40 emails), it's time we focus our air-cooled energy 
  on the future:

  ----

  1) Last year the number of aggravated newbies was way 
  under the quota. This year we ought to be able to 
  disenchant twice as many of those newcomers 
  whom we all love to deride !  

  2) Come on ! torches are not that expensive. This is not the 
  time to be cheap. Get a good bonfire going (behind the garage 
  or in the garage if not heated) and report on some of the parts 
  you have set ablaze. Someone suggested the "Turbo fuel filters" 
  or "Kelsey Hayes Spokes" since magnesium fans did not produce 
  the expected adrenaline.  

  3) Cryptic ads from Phoenix Charlie have made the communiqué 
  a unique place for the OOV [out of the ordinary vendors]. The 
  same needs to happen here on vv - if you have a part to sell, 
  post it so no one could possibly figure out what the f^%$ you are 
  trying to sell --- Let's fight mediocrity. 

  4) Number 4 of course, is the topic of the 4 doors. Nobody wants 
  them except the dedicated owner who can't sell it -- although with 
  the average age of the corvair owner approaching a Sexagenarian, 
  these would soon become the most popular. Let's pump up & restart 
  the "with the windows down - it looks gorgeous" campaign. 

  5) Finally, like many of you, my favorite hobby is finding wiper refills 
  for my corvairs on the weekdays, but let's support our vendors this 
  year for a healthy competition which keeps some prices down. 

  In short, if we fail to plan, we plan to fail :)
