Only one more driving spot left !
Put me down for spot #20. May be I can convince Melanie that "we" need one because it is good for the environment. >v

I'll add you to the list
Good question >m ... I'll have to get back to you on that. See you Saturday.

Sure Ben... What time you plan to leave the Westside?
Hey Mike, I plan on leaving around 7:30. Can you meet me at the Best Buy parking lot? 11301 W Pico Blvd LA 90064. It's off the 405 at the Olympic/Pico exit just before the 10?
How about Art, Eddie, or anyone else? you guys want to hook up somewhere?
I can meet you there around 7:30. Are you thinking of carpooling or caravanning. The only reason I ask is that I'm not sure what time I'm heading back up.

Art has to make a stop at Disney to get his Mickey pancake breakfast first and will meet us at Tesla.
Fast Eddie will be washing the fire truck.
Mike,
I was planning on caravanning down. It's better if we have our own cars so we can leave when ever we want.
I guess it's just the two of us from up here.
See you tomorrow at around 7:30.

We got rained out last time.....but not so today. Beautiful sunny day in Newport Beach.
A huge Thank you to Tesla Motors >v David Waxman, Ben, Valerie and Erin for a GREAT day test driving a truly cool super car.

We met up in Irvine and cruised over to Tesla in Newport Beach.
Along the way, we found Erin in her Tesla Roadster and she provided a personal escort for us.

We got a great introduction to Tesla, a California company, and the Roadster.
We all had a great time talking and learning about the car.

Then we got to take the car out for a spin on PCH. It was amazingly quick, quiet and FUN to drive !

ALL SMILES !!!
Thank to all who came out today!
As always, pictures are up on my site.... www.kouchicentral.com (http://www.kouchicentral.com)
Lance, can you set up a club test drive for the other Lotus based supercar?

I know John Hennessy but doubt he'd let most of us drive that car.
I can, however, arrange a ride in my black Viper (no, I don't let others drive it), which makes about the same HP and TQ.

I have been strengthening my core and lower back for the past couple of months in preparation for daddy duty.
Max squat is now at 2.2x body weight, so I feel like I'm almost ready for a ride in da Beast. Daddy duty, not so much...
