well jerk face installed the stupid short shifter after I told him I didn't want it.

I play a game with my friends now...who can find reverse?

Christine,

I don't know your schedule, but I'm off next week and would be willing to tackle the shifter. I've never done it in the Z, but it can't be too hard.

Idk how far you are from home depot in mckinney, i'm going there this wed(tommorow). If you have a time, i can take a look see if i can replace that thing. If not, sounds like allstarE4 can help you next week.

Hey Eric,

How the House unpacking ? Are you settled in yet ?

Let's hook up when you are off so I can get my Hand-truck back. I need me some firewood.

If anybody wants a part off my car, let me know.

I am doing a part out so that I can trade my car in and get something more "family" friendly.

Install on the shifter is really easy... all you have to do is remove the panel from inside and all of the boots and what not, go under then car and remove the rubber cover from the shift linkage, undo the shift linkage and the 3 bolts that hold the top together. It took me about 45 to install.. and would probably take less to swap to stock since you dont have to mess with adjusting it as much. I would do it for you but i am really busy this week! if it hasnt been done by tues of next week ill do it for you! also just a tip if you put it in 1st, pull it out and push down straight to reverse it goes in ALOT easier. you have to do it all in one motion though.

What the f*k?

I parked my car at starbucks for hour, some MF left me a nice fu*king huge scratche on my rear bumper. Wtf is wrong with people? MF didn't even left a note...
On the way back home, I thought about my previous cars that I had and funny thing is all of my car I had damaged in rear bumper expect pos mazda. Hit and run, I ran into something and co worker bust my rear with his civic.

Edit: sorry about my language.
