They are a nice looking item for sure but pricey. I am kind of holding off on any purchases this winter until I see what shakes out at work. When 85% of the work you do is auto or heavy truck related this enviroment sucks for acquiring new work. One of out best customers just laid off another 120 people this week. They have went from 600 to 162 people in the past 6 months.

Yet the steel market has been cut in half in the last 2 months. No layoffs here yet but they have cut all outside contractors and all overtime. I'm just sitting back and watching for the next 6 months to see how things pan out.

whoa Scott scary news.
I have to tell you guys my Wife is pretty cool when it comes to car stuff/upgrades for the most part. I usally sell something or other to get the cash to do them. She wasn't so happy when I traded in our TL to get the stang. She will still point out a TL from time to time and say those are nice cars. LOL
Goooooooooooooood Morning Folks. looks like we got 3 to 4 inches of snow here last night

In the Bullit forum they are saying it looks like in the 2-3 shift he must have shifted back to 1st. You can see the nose dive down right before he loses control

I agree Scott, the shifter is cool but real spendy for what it is! its getting tough all over although the health care sector was the only area that's seen employment growth in the last few months it just a matter of time. The Medical Center I work for had to write off 250,000,000 in unpaid services last year!

I bought one last April and my 37-40 highway MPG is great. I drive it 52 miles m - f and can make that trip 6 1/1 times on a tank. They a pretty nice little car for what they are. The Sync system is cool.
