Think of it this way...now you get to install some nice new parts on your car. Hopefully you notice the change when it is on the road again.

It's kind of a creepy, unnerving feeling to suddenly be able to make circles with the shifter while you're trying to drive, huh?

I haven't been keeping up - is this your cherry pop on this car, Brian, or have you already had a taste of the 928-common-failure-mode buffet?

Finally I was able to get into 3rd gear and slowly got it off the bridge.
OMG - This is the worst thing in the world to possibly happen to a motorist. I would consider giving up driving altogether if it happened to me, or at least never, ever drive that bridge again.

Some a-hole broke the taillight on our FJ with his side-view mirror on the George Washington Bridge at right around 5:00 PM the Tuesday after Memorial Day this year, and neither of us was willing to stop - it just wasn't worth it!!!

Yeah, this and the A/C needing repair is enough to keep me busy a little while. It's very hot here in Austin with a black on black car and no A/C!
