I wrapped it in a towel and used an oil filter/scissor type tool thats got teeth on it, it grabs the knob very well, my question is, if I lift up the panel that has the hazard button on it, am I also holding that thick cylinder piping that leads down to the shift boot?

Yes, if you can.

I have had enough of this weather........

I like it! SOLD .........did you decide if that's what your doing?

Yup, that is the route I'm going. Will still be a few months though.

So the wrap company I had my lights done at finally took action after I filed a chargeback. I met with the owner just now who is going to redo the tails, fix some bubbles on the front, and going to tint the car for my troubles. :eyeroll: We will see how it goes.

GJ on the vac'ing. I just finished up 90% and of my vac'ing 100% of the dusting. Two bedrooms left to vacuum then I can take a break.

Good job my fellow cleaners I have also been vac'ing and cleaning the house. I am also much happier now though cause my buddy bailed on the work I was going to help him with this afternoon, so after cleaning I only need to go grocery shopping and my day is done! Time to chill and hang around the house! Probably use my time for some guitar playing and forum whoring

Also agree that mr. alcheng would take the taffyapples money np! I know I do/would when they want work done

Sometimes there's some customers which are pain pain pain in the butt and you almost want to give up.....

But there's always this voice pops-up in the last moment...:

"dude.... you have to pay the rent....."

~~~ or ~~~

"dude.... even if you can suffer the hunger.... how about the Z....?"

~~~ then ~~~

"alright taffytapple..... let's close the deal....."
