no this is the headlight switch, Its in a "POD" Located to the left of the wheel. To get to it you have to take the wheel of and everything, it's a whole complicated thing.
This is not my car but you get the idea. And i dont have that UGLY digidash either.

Cubs beat the Phillies again. We remain undefeated since the All Star break.
This is changing the outlook for the annual pilgrimage to Coors Field for the Cubs-Rockies series.

I love it! I was looking for a 2 door 5spd , Never thought about 4x4 but it kind of found me ( was in my gpa's shed) Was stored 2 years before we got our hands on it. Drained the gas, rebuilt the motor , redid the interior ECt. has 63000 mi. on it and runs strong!

WhatEVER. I've been doing this for a VERY long time, talent is talent, training is a factor, a considerably lesser factor than genetics. Make no mistake, credit where it's due, Gary trains harder than anyone I've ever known, and his success is largely due to that, but if he had been born with my (lack of) sprinting ability, he wouldn't win races. On the other hand, even with his considerable talent, if he didn't train so hard, he'd have 1/10 of his results. It's both. But without the talent it becomes next to impossible in my view. Could I train hard enough to be a potentially effective domestique? Perhaps. Is it worth living like a monk and training like a zealot to me? Hardly. It becomes more like a job, not something I love to do.
Hey, that's my view borne out of 20 years in and around the sport. But you'll have to form your own opinion. None of that matters of course. We all do this because we love it, for one reason or another. No matter how much we snipe at each other, we do share that, Fred and Road Nazi alike. That's the Big Picture. Which so many of you are incapable of seeing. Don't worry, Uncle Pcad will show you the Way.
None of you are friggin worthy of course, but that's a whole other thread.

I can't speak directly about being competitive in anything. I'm not that kind of guy. Probably why I don't relate to those in the 33. They will find me lacking, I see them the same way.

Tony,
Shouldn't you be doing something more interesting at your age on Friday night?
Personally, I'm washing my bibs.

I missed 13 pages. That's what I get for not being on earlier.

Back to the thread topic - I have GAS, as do plenty of others here, I'm sure. For fellow sufferers, do you find that buying spare... stuff helps quell the impulse? I bought some more Contis during the most recent round of super-sale madness as PBK, and I do need them, but their arrival was met with a yawn. I think I need another hit. What to do, what to do? New Force crankset? Could a nice floor pump quiet things for a couple weeks? What your smallest dose to calm the tremors?
