^ On a scale of 0-100, you get a 3 for mods.

But you get a 96 for sarcasm.

Yes, of course... who could forget THAT list ??

Well, the office of President will be a rotational one. As of now, the four of you who can rotate the duties of President, VP, CEO, and Secretary are:

MSFITOY
gnatster
MINICHEF, and
batrugger

Now, as first President, your job is to kick out those members who have less than 15 mods when you remove the fluff. But there's one catch: You can't boot out the originator of the club.

Ps. Kidding... don't hurt anyone's feelings by booting their butts out.

It's not too late, Jay... if you have aspirations of becoming Club President, you can list each of your 4 valve stem caps seperately.

1. Front DS valve stem cap
2. Rear DS valve stem cap
3. Front PS valve stem cap
4. Rear PS valve stem cap
Etc
Etc
Etc

Don't forget the mods that need other mods to work.

I guess I could add things like:

Custom drilled rear section unibody frame rail Left - To pass left rear shock adjustor
Custom drilled rear section unibody frame rail Right - To pass right rear shock adjustor
Custom painted rear section unibody frame rail Left - To protect left rear shock adjustor hole.
Custom painted rear section unibody frame rail Right - To protect right rear shock adjustor hole.

And now people are listing SWAG too....At what point is it just adding fodder to make a longer list.
