“Got My Mojo Workin’ ” By John Harvey, Bad-to-the-Bone-Tourmeister Anybody that remembers this song, popularized by Muddy Waters, knows that it is good to have a Mojo. My earliest memory of the whole Mojo concept has to be the “Lucky Rabbit’s Foot” that every kid my age needed in the late 50’s. I found out later that it only worked if you had a ’55 Chevy with a lift kit, Cragar S/S mags and a Hurst shifter. Since that time I’ve always had a Mojo of some sort for all the activities that Beej and I do. How do you think we’ve lived this long? For the last several years, I’ve adopted the “Lucky Bone- Head Socks” as my official Mojo and have put them to use quite effectively. How I acquired this particular pair is a different story. Did you know that if you are wearing these socks that you can do a wheelie, on your mountain bike, off of a three foot rock ledge onto a boulder strewn trail and only break three ribs? I was lucky I didn’t puncture a lung and was able to ride back to the car so that I could drive myself to the hospital. Most recently, I unleashed the power of the Lucky Bone-Head Socks at the February “Love Your Porsche” Tech Session. I admit that it was a little unfair to those of you that didn’t bring your Mojo in time for the raffle drawing, but hey, I’ll bet you will remember next time. After warning everyone that I was wearing my lucky socks and that I would probably win the raffle, there were still those who stood there in disbelief as Christy drew my name out of the hat. It gives a whole new meaning to the term “Shock and Awe.” My reward was a 3M Clear Bra installation, provided by Stratashield Custom. Houston Orona Jr. and his crew worked their magic in getting that flat sheet of clear plastic to conform to the curvatures of my Boxster’s front end. This is a real art and nothing short of miraculous. Hans Hoffman and the bunch from RAC Performance provided a nice dry place to meet as well as some delicious pastries to munch on while we watched the install. By the way, that wonderful sound from the FVD/Brombacher exhaust on my Boxster was courtesy of Hans and my checkbook. Thanks to Scott Boyd and Office Perks for providing the hot java that we all enjoyed while mingling and looking at all of the cool cars in the shop. As usual, our Maverick team of Christy Payne, Lisa Steele, Linda Bambina, and Ed Mullenix put together another great event with over 65 attendees. It was a great day especially for the Harvey family who will enjoy many miles of paint-chip-free driving while planning our future Sunday Drives.
