Sure glad to hear it happened in the driveway and not the freeway :beer: I have had one of the red urethane ones grenade on me after about six months before. So its a good idea that you have a rubber one coming.

Wow - I'm really glad she's safe. What a blessing.

I love how she chooses the VW with the big engine to go cruise in 8-)

Added a Dino steering wheel and an Optima battery. Had to combine a couple of different steering wheel adapters to make the steering wheel work. Looking at installing a roller pedal to replace the gas pedal.
