Sorry, Jim; cheap shot, I know.

OMG, I'm on a phone with a client right now & just laughed out loud when I read this. Jim, you're a good sport.....Dr.Steve- good one! I'll do the pointy paint brush thing. I used to be a model plane builder, so I'll dive right in on this.

I used 3m tape too... Just make sure its easy to arm it while driving... The extra 1/2 inch really helps for that and doesn't obstruct your view...

Now there's an idea Since he is not using them right now.
It would help him pay the tab since his car has been at CMS since the open house and Dr. Steve has it almost completely taken apart
Heck just go by and borrow them, Joe never stops by to see what might be missing for a couple of days

Awww man, you're *so* right! Everytime I try to leave the office, I get slammed again & can't make the drive across Fresno. My neighbors actually asked me this weekend why I sold the Cooper & I was like "what?!?" I miss my baby a lot & am anxious to drive again. Even including AMVIV, I think I've only gotten 1500 miles YTD. I need more driving time! Especially, now that Dr.Steve's tracked down my intake leak(s) & solved my oil light problem. I should be issue free for awhile.

Totally different note (no pun intended). I wish I had majored in this during college (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ZX5qdIEB0). How cool would it be to be at a party & have someone ask what you do for a living. "Me? Oh, I'm a beatboxing flautist. What do you do?" Yeahhhhh, that'd be sweet.

I just reinstalled my USS and those fricken rear bolts that go in the inserts are NOT metric. They are 3/8-16.
Just an FYI for you Dr. Steve.
