If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

You can't tell me what to do. You're not my real mom

I didn't raise you like this!

Can I drive it?

That idea worries me a bit

Also, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.  So I think I'll be fine to drive it too.

You won't live to regret it.

I always thought you were thorough.

Thinking more on that shifter....

I had a flash of an idea around repurposing a large combination wrench.  Box end would be the shift knob side.  Maybe just to get up and running.  I'm short on time with my vertical mill so milling my trellis shifter may take some time to get through.

Can't be any worse looking that a steel bar like you guys all love [laugh]

I like the idea.  Question is can you make it comfortable?

The sun wasn't blotted from the sky until you went off course with your shifter here, ML.

I told everybody to send me a dollar or I would block out the sun. Nobody believed me.
