It does?? Hmm...never noticed...guess I'd better pay closer attention to it!
And I have been using the Supra to drive back and forth to Santa Barbara, since the AC isn't working on the Mercedes...so it needs a break! LOL
my supra's been crying for attention since i bought the highlander a couple months ago. so i changed the vavle cover gasket and no more oil tears dripping on the headers. today, i spent about 2hrs washing and waxing it. i'll be taking it to work with me.
The supra has been parked for the last 2-weeks, and I finally took it out today...and it was SO DAMN HOT outside, that the glue inside my shift knob started melted, and the knob kept falling off...
So I said fuck it and went and bought a TRD shift knob!!

looks nicer, to be honest..
if it weren't for the pre-89 door handle, I could have mistaken it for shadow grey...

Thanks Kyle!! I actually wanted to get the stock shift knob (burgundy leather) but it has been discontinued, and all the stock is depleted...
Although, even if it were still available...the list price is $145!! :aigo: (The 89+ black knobs are still available for $130) So the TRD knob was actually the more economical choice...I also wanted to get a new shift boot, but those are no longer produced either...
Lookin good! You really did a nice job on the car, it's definitely not the same car I saw in the garage the night we went out there!
Thanks Aaron! That really means a lot coming from you...one of the few people that saw my Supra in it's early, frustrating days.
I'm also working on getting my turbo out to you for upgrading...do I need to pay for it when I drop it off or when I pick it up?

Also, here are a couple of update pics of the benz, for those interested:
Notice I only took pics of the driver's side...LOL
It really is quite an amazing car, I've driven it over 200 miles, with absolutely NO problems...and getting 30+MPG...:aigo:

Thanks Lilmiss!! Yea, I really like the TRD knob too...it's extrememly comfortable, and is actually pretty heavy, which makes shifting smoother and easier! ^_^
Not to mention, with my crappy eBay shift knob, the stitching was so rough that I was getting blisters on my hand after driving in traffic for a while...

Thanks! Well, I was hoping to put it on tomorrow, just in time for the Sonic meet, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen...
So I am guessing probably monday, tuesday, wednesday...LOL.
