Used Sling came with the Assault d-shaped wheel. It was a nice, comfortable, solid-feeling piece but I couldn't get used to it and went with NRG with thumb indents. Very comfortable.

Hi there, I'm in San Mateo just off the Bunker Hill exit from 280. Been laid up with an injured arm but going back in the saddle today. Cheers!

This thread is killing my inner juvenile self..... dalancroft has found that it is a two handed job,@ kyle d says to just stick your finger in it, and SlingLow says to use an extension instead of your finger.... Yall keep this up and we are going to have to move it to the NSFW section
I prefer single-hand operations tho......

I've found mine is a two-handed job, 1 person at each rear corner (nearest the cockpit). I usually enlist my wife or son (15 yo) for help.

That is a Arturo Fuente curly head. They are just as good as any of the high priced Arturo's. I love anything by Alec Bradley except the black market. Oliva does make some good cigars. I have a array of cigars. Nothing like a good cigar and a glass of bourbon.
I know Cali is a long way from OK but if you ever get out here stogies & Kentucky (my MIL's home state) bourbon is on me! Plus a guest bed & good steaks, of course.........

Chain, out of curiosity, what stick are you smoking in your sig pic and what are your favorite puffs right now? (Mine: Oliva Nubs and Inferno Melts.)

I'm 5'9" 150 lbs with a 44 sport coat and these pads provide lumbar support, move me forward about 1" and about 1-1/2" higher for better sightlines. Very comfortable at least on my 20-45 minute drives.

I highly recommend this if yours has to stay outside (like mine) or if you're traveling in the wet stuff:

Let's just say my wife's convertible 911 sits in the garage while the SS goes out.

Crystal Springs Reservoir, 8 minutes from my house...

Try distilled water. Helped (worked?) for me.

I've always sworn by straight-up Mobile One. In the last say 10 years I've had a high-revving V8 (Audi S4 cab),; two FI vehicles (BMW 335i cab, twin-turbo V6, and Audi Q5 2.0T); and a Porsche 911S cab NA 3.8L flat six with minimal issues re: drivetrain, pistons, rings, etc.

You don't want anything to do with the stock drivers, they're complete junk. For about $60 total you can buy quality units -- I used a) Cerwin-Vega 5-1/4" midbass (they were separates but I only used the midbass because b) also a 3.5" coaxial with aluminum dome tweeter from MB Quart. Sounds MUCH better than stock. If you want to take it to the next level some self-powered subs (I have one under each seat) will add thump while not taxing the stock amp.

Next on my list:Bilsteins or DDMWorks.

Just happened to my wife's BMW -- hairline crack causing a slow leak. Three hundred bucks later, good as new.

Standard ride. Our local megamart is 1.1 mile away; I prefer the 18-mile round trip along Crystal Springs Road.

Anytime I hook up ANYTHING electrical, I always apply (I have aerosol spray and an applicator somewhat resembling touch-up paint) Caig deoxit and progold to enhance contacts and attenuate tarnishing. Sort of a thin film of oil.
