Technically yesterday, but I built this thing (I'm gonna shave the button down more to make it more flush with the top of the knob):

Attached to a WS6 6.5" stick and in 2nd gear. Looks high because it essentially rides on top of the threads (which end just under the black ring at the bottom). Another cool thing that came out of the project is the shifter being 15mm and at 16mm I got a little interference fit to keep it in place without having to really reef on anything and damage the stick.

I struggled choosing between the single and dual tips. Single tips are all business and look mean... the dual tips fit the bumper cutouts perfectly. I finally let my wife choose.

heads :nilly: :nilly: hood :nilly: :nilly: heads or hood :nilly: :nilly:

I can't do both but want both..........

If I get heads, they will wait till I can do springs, lifters, cam, oil pump timing chain.

If I get the hood, will have to wait for paint.

:nilly: :nilly: what to do, what to do?

Hood, but I can speak from experience it is a killer when you have to wait to get it painted.

I drove the WS6 and my wife to this cheesy supermarket in the worst area in town.
Truck was down with a battery change I did in the morning.
She asked me to go in with her and I said "no way, this car will be keyed a 100 times before we come out."
Guess what, this woman parks one isle over and starts to walk towards my car with her key in her hand sideways.
At the last minute she see me sitting in the car staring at her and she pulls her key in and keep walking.
I yelled out, "keep walking sister".
She turns and looks at me with a red embarrassed face.
F-ing people.

Fucking people. That's insane. Should have pepper sprayed her for thinking about it.

Stared at it this morning as I pulled out of the driveway. Wishing I was driving her instead of the retarded truck.

It doesn't hit the low end of the economic bracket either.. got keyed yesterday by whom I'm guessing was a member of the country club I work at. I park away from the sap trees which means right in the middle of the tennis court line of spots. I'm allowed to park in any lot close by where I work (while keeping courtesy in mind for said members) so they have no grounds to complain. In fact I've been mistaken for a member when out of uniform at times, and had compliments on it too. Same place where people park their Lambos, Ferraris, Maseratis too (had a random Gallardo appear in the wild parked next to my car of all things).

Guess someone didn't want my car mixed in with theirs..?
