    Yeah, the lower 1st/rev of the 18 are nice to have if you have a need for them.

    I watched a video on YouTube of a guy in a 359 shifting a 6x4. I can’t make heads or tails of the pattern, he must be skipping gears. I may have a college degree, but I feel stupid watching that video in dismay.

    I had a boss once that told me air splitters were developed so women could drive trucks.

    Use to drive a Louisville Ford with a 8V71 and a set of sticks. 1/2 wore out made you look like you was swatting at a bee trying to shift lol. I find the right one I'm sticking a brownie in this KW.
