I may have gotten a hang nail??? :iono: does that count??? :facepalm:

OH MAN!!! HOLY COW..

totally different... so worth it.

I can't believe I let this sit on my work bench as long as I did... :facepalm:


And it really isn't that hard to install. I could probably do it with out lowering the trans brace....

Man it feels so much better, more positive... I was surprised how much shorter the throw is... not too much... it is a tiny bit louder... but zero grinding or anything like that...

It's awesome... :D

I've always played with Heel/toe down shitfing, no expert by any stretch.. But the lingenfelter pedals really help... It's kinda funny when I do it coming to a stop light... slowing down with the engine at a bout 3 grand... :happyanim:

Thanks! The cold is here and the car sleeps. I think this is the coldest Ed has ever seen and it's not even Thanksgiving :sm0:

I'm sure his Xmas wish involves money and a move back to Calif. :D

You can teach me the heel and toe shift one day... Not much call for it in a straight line... But could still prove useful...:D

I've actually got driving shoes for race day... I was reading about heel and toe shifting the other day... Interesting... But I learn more by watching and then doing rather than reading about it...

I can image you would prefer to have someone show you in person, but have you checked youtube. There are some tutorials out there.

:word:... Texan by choice... I hauled a patient to the twin cities a few years ago... In early Jan. We landed, loaded him into the ambulance and went to the hospital... While working on a patient, I almost never noticed weather conditions... And never wore a coat... Ever...

So, we get back to the airport and the plane had been moved... I asked the guy at the private terminal, and he points about a mile down the ramp... So, my partner and I headed out... I had on a short sleeved shirt.... We picked the pt up in Cozumel...I think we made it about thirty yards and turned around and sprinted back inside... The guy at the counter was laughing... He wished one of his friends had been there so he could bet how far we would make it... Then proceeded to tell us it was 30 below zero... I didn't think it really got that cold anywhere...

This made me laugh! 30 below is quite cold. I have the video camera ready so I can capture his reactions. It should be pretty comical when the weather really sets in. :sm0:

I'm sooo out of my element here! In Fresno it was real hot and dry during summer. Spring and Fall are gorgeous, and Winter can be foggy, but doesn't last all that long.

Here, it rains all the time like a cow pissin' on a flat rock. I've never seen such large raindrops! It doesn't get as hot, but the sun feels hotter for some reason. The humidity sucks, as do all the mosquitoes, the likes of which I've never seen before! (Fresno used to really go after and kill 'em.) There are no mountains here. Every time I see a hill I get excited before Cyndi, as nice as can be, tells me that it's just a garbage dump that's got grass growing on it. LOL Back there I could get into the San Joaquin River ever day with the dog from late March through Early November. Here there is no water close enough that's good enough to get into. And the roads....I've never seen roads so poorly maintained and designed before. There are huge bumps followed by even bigger potholes all the time. And so much of it is concrete and not asphalt, which I'm not used to. Anyway, winter is going to suck! It's already gotten colder with more wind than I've seen back in California, but at least the mosquitoes are going away.

In any event, I love Cyndi :wub: more than I can tell you....But I can't say the same about Michigan!
