> Since you're going to Carlisle, I wanted to give you a protocol briefing
>before
> you start hanging around the Imperials and the Imperial Club guys:
> DO:
> 1. Introduce yourself as a friend of "Steve in Korea". That's how they know

> maniac that put a mopar performance master cylinder/m. p. starter/headers/74
> Fury Radiator/etc in his Crown?", but I'm in Korea and what can they do to me
> anyway....
> DO NOT:
> 1. Say, "gee, that 413 would look good in a 'Cuda!" (Our Imps are Mopars,
>too!)
> 2. Say, "Saw a '66 just like yours in Demolition Derby" (Derbyists are about
>as
> popular with us as Jane Fonda at the VFW)
> 3. Say, "Nice Chrysler!" (IMPERIAL is the marque!)
> 4. Ask a guy with an '81 "How's that fuel injection working?" (it probably
> doesn't, and he don't want you reminding him)
> 5. Refer to a '61's trunk lid as having a "toilet seat", it's a "flitesweep"
>(I
> think)
> 6. Say "Heard some of you guys were putting Toyota Supra brakes on your '69
> cars." (That's our dirty little secret!)
> 7. Ask the guy with the '64 "So, where do you get brake drums for your Le
> Baron?". (He can't buy 'em without mortgaging the house)
> 8. If you survived question 7, don't follow up with "Have you thought about

> on this one for quite some time. We'll probably figure out a way to do this
> about the same time someone masters Nikola Tesla's bladeless turbine.)
> 9. Check out the brake booster on a '58 and say "Kinda looks like an
> accordian..."
> 10. Make any comparison to a Ca****lac. The C-mobile does NOT compare to
