He said "letting your hand rest on the shifter while cruising can led to excessive wear on shifter fork pads."

FWIW

See...... it is better to have your hand in your BF's crotch. Just hard to concentrate, especially if there undone.

IS IT FRIDAY YET???

VG, you are just too darn funny. Now about the crotch thing: Is that a Custom Double Din Compartment (popular "GM" design, as in "general male"), OR, a special super grip shift ****? Geesuz, you guys are really rubbing off on me. Well, I must be hanging around here way, way too much. And, you can sure tell it's almost Friday. Hey, it's always good to hand around, I mean, hang around with your CF forum buds.

It's only better if you're a woman... If I had a BF, I wouldn't be the "MAN" I am today!!! Yecckkk!!

I'll ask the question... how often do you have to stop along the road to "take care of things"?? Been there, done that, loved it everytime!!

Of course, if he's driving... well then... Sweeeet!!! :o
