Under light throttle, the tranny will lock out 2 and 3 and make you shift from 1 to 4.

The name makes it MORE gay. If I wanted "computer aided gear selection" I'd get a slushbox.

I believe they put CAGS in cars to boost the gas mileage ratings. By doing that, they can avoid the gas guzzler tax on some vehicles. They also make is simple to bypass knowing that most people that buy those cars don't want it.

pretty decent, alot of people meet down on the strip and 28th street bridge on friday and sat nights, also there is always starlite auto show in wexford every friday all day, and that strip mall in monroeville by taco bell which name slips my mind, lots of car spots

i wanted to get m,y windows tinted but cops around my house are really brutal with tint tickets, sucks, maybe when i move to the burgh ill get it done

Dan is in town. He's over here now, we going to be installing his new ricer mufflers on rustang.

I wouldn't mind coming out, but I don't know if him or Al would want to drive out there.
