Got the new shifter installed today. It was suprisingly easy. The hardest part wound up being the little plastic plug that covers the screw in the backseat drink holder. My only real complaint is that the shifter seems a lot stiffer. Maybe that's the shortened throw. *Shrug*
Anyway, here are a few pics:

Did you take that at night?
Congrats on getting new toys for the car and accomplishing the task at hand all by yourself so easily.
And btw I was wrong about Genitorturers playing with KMFDM. The friend I was talking with said he wished to see them soon. I just missed what he was saying and got excited.
BUT KMFDM is coming to town and that is still good news to me.
A band who opened for Genitorturers is opening for KMFDM though called Combichrist.
As much as I'd love to go see KMFDM again, I doubt it'll happen. Two reasons:
1) Money. Nuff sed.
2) This will be an SG event (or so you mentioned, I think). Someone I'd rather not see will likely go. And yes, I'd actually pass on a KMFDM concert, just to avoid this person.
Also, Combichrist is fronted (if I recall right) by the Icon of Coil guy, and I hate to say it, but both groups' music blows loudly.
