Default Pay it forward- NPP remote kit

Ok guys & gals- I made a NPP remote control kit , installed it on my 2008 coupe,then decided it ain't for me. I will GIVE this NPP remote to the first person to pm me with a GOOD REASON why you have been a good boy/girl and why you deserve to have it FOR FREE. Following the lead from other great Corvette Forum members here, I will even pay the shipping, just need your address and you need to be a lil patient cause I'm NOT gonna overnight it, but will use regular old USPS snailmail...........
Dont forget to send your zip too.
The unit worked flawlessly, you will need to look up the directions on how to hook it up from somewhere here on the forum. It takes less then 5 minutes to connect. I just prefer NOT to tamper with ANY electronics that have been engineered one specific way (I am an electrician also) ......Whomever gets this MUST try to pay something forward in the near future.
I am attempting to uplaod a couple pics, hope it works.

Okay heres the reason... I always wanted an NPP, my father had an NPP, his father had an NPP and his father during the great depression had a NPP. It would make my family tree so very happy and complete Oh wait a minute, I don't have a NPP exhaust Just thought I'd add some goofy humor and say very nice jester on your part.

Ladies & Gentlemen, my NPP remote (made by me) has been given away to Speedgirl......
BUT-
You can buy the M2W (trademarked name I am told)setup from a forum member here on this site for just a few bucks. Think his name is Ed at Pipedreams- Am I correct on that? Am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Nice stories about why you desrve it...........
Nuns????

For sure this is the second place winner, but I only had one remote.
Congrats on the first baby, which is waaaayyyyy more important than the first new Vette. But you have both, you should be very happy !
