    Oh I know, You're a clean freak... Haven't seen it in person but through your M/A garage and it looks impeccable. How about you come and clean out my engine compartment:devil:

    Until I start my career I'm going to have to remain patient:cryin: Oh, well it helps knowing that people take years modifying their cars and when I do the mods I do them after people have tried and either succeeded or failed so I get the right stuff:cornut:

    I'm mounting that in place of the passenger seat with a nice mounting pod for easy access to the mouth so I don't have to take my hand off the wheel/shifter. Hahahaha! I completely forgot that was in the background... also FYI only flavored tobacco is smoked out of that, never touched weed, promise.

    Nice to hear the install went well Seth. If I hadn't already had Anson replace my blown mount I'd have bought on of those VT units. Nice piece.

    My car hasn't had torque steer. Maybe your FUBAR mount was causing that.

    Yes indeed! It was the sole cause of my massive torque steer. Did you hear me take off today after donuts? I was on and off the throttle the torque steer was that bad; and it had been doing that for months.
    I will say if you do replace something I would suggest the torque link; when we took it out that bushing was a mess; really noticed a difference when shifting.

    I didn't hear you leave. I left 10 minutes before you & besides I left my miracle ear at home on the dresser.

    How is the NVH? I know you young guys can take a lot more noise than us old guys are willing to tolerate.

    Haha! Well my sister is an audiologist she can hook you up with some hearing aids:Thumbsup:
    As for NVH; I did notice some slight vibration at stand still. But you would have to sit in it to see for yourself. It just vibrates the dash a little, but as you said us young guys tolerate more so I'm not sure if it is tolerable for everyone else.

    Had Whalen make this knob for me. He did an amazing job as usual and dealt with my sometimes impossible requests with class and professionalism that seems to be lost in today's world. I am incredibly satisfied with the product and design along with his customer service.

    I posted pictures recently... in the past 3 months I believe. If it's pictures you want here:cornut:
    The second picture was taken on Earth Day for those goose steppers who actually really give a hoot about it.

    I have been randomly poking around on the site the past couple months so I apologize for not being "on it." Looking for jobs is getting to be a bit tasking :mad2:

    Thanks Chuck! I always appreciate and value your opinion. However, that may be too much camera angle for Dave.0 though. Gotta get that perpendicular.

    That's she did! And she got the brains.... She's an audiologist.


    Thank you Stefanie! I still have lots of work to do/have done. Especially body work but every piece and part was thoughtfully and painstakingly picked out. I'm glad she's getting some love here from everyone.

    I wasn't mad at all. I hear it all the time.... I think it's funny to play like I actually care.

    Glad you guys think my sister is good looking. I didnt realize when I posted that picture like 2 years ago it would be remembered or thoroughly analyzed.
