Chris, I wish i could buy that HPDE thing from you. my fiancee tore her ACL this last weekend (again, she did it in HS as well) and her MRI was $500 AFTER insurance. Needless to say, that was a ****in blow, since we were going to use that $ to pay for **** for the wedding. I def owe you though..

your good man no worries. I found out that if you dont attend you can roll over your stuff to next year anyways minus the 75.00 admin fee.

Well, this morning I was just hanging around by my car in the parking lot at school then I noticed my passenger rear tire was flat (oh great not again). There's some sort of a slow leak obviously as this happened twice before, and I really wish I would of taken it DT when I first had the problem.. Anyways, I realized there is not much I could do then as I had to go to my remaining classes of the day. At the end of the school day, I come back to my car with the tire pretty much completely flat but thankfully my brother had dropped off a bike air pump for me.. Spent about 10min looking like a fool trying to get enough air in the tire to get back home. Now the DT by house says they wont do anything because my tires are stretched and it wasn't their location that mounted them.. Looks like i gotta go over to Edwin and spend the rest of the getting this **** fixed.

This message only pertains to people with manual transmission...all other folkes go back to your regular scheduled broadcast.


If you have a manual please to god do not rest your hand on the shifter or be extremely rough when you shift. The stock pivot ball is weak and many have snapped there pivot ball due to stress over time. This is not a fun or cheap fix and will end up setting you back like $1k for a $20 parts. When you complete each shift try to rest your hand on the E-brake like you are about to do a drift or away from the shifter. Resting your hand or shifting hard and rough will only cause more stress to a weak part...end broadcast.....

Edit: EMAD..i know you like stroking your shifter so please continue doing that since you have the upgraded chromoly pivot ball...stroke away & be rough & hard all you want...especially on harry hines rd

Yea, I'm not totally sold on that part... but yes, the pivot ball isn't the strongest (in the older models)

I beat the hell outta my 06's shifter for all 3 years I owned her... but I'm tall, so I rested my arm on the arm rest and not the shifter all that much.
