True.

I actually had only practical mods... that I sold

I just had a countersunk shift knob, and upgraded deck+ipod connection.

Which is what I plan on... re-buying.

I would like wheels, drop, etc etc etc. But you're right. It is a huge waste of money, and I only plan on doing this if I plan on keeping car after lease end. But we'll see what happens down the road..

Put away a couple hundred bucks a month for the next 22 months, and you should be in good shape.

Buy it a few drinks. . . wait. . . oh. . . you're not speaking figuratively.

I have no idea, but the "Unkie Trunkie Educated Guess System" says heat and gentle turning with good pliers.

Hm. Dunno how I feel about heating the shift lever

Yes, I loctited the stock knob on because I thought I wouldn't bother with it because it was going to the dealership.
