what? how does a msp knob not fit? i have one sitting on my shelf here beside me, has threads in it, so it should just screw right on.

yeah it should fit your short shifter...
Anyways I have found another shifter, so when I receive it, will be removing the weight...

put it up for sale =[ lookin to get 4500 for her
That. Still. Doesn't. Make. Sense. Collision insurance basically covers your car if YOU cause an accident and damage it. So long as you have liability, you're covered if someone else hits you (and has insurnace), and they should be doing all that crap.

noticed a "shimmy" from the ass end a couple days ago, then yesterday noticed a "hot break" smell... looked at my brakes and the break material came delaminated from the metal backing pad WTF. Got a new set of back breaks, one side goes on fine, the other side's piston retracting nut is rusted fast. Luckily the wife works right across from autozone! $150 later.... I need to put back rotors on the old girl too, the shimmy is still there, going to be getting those this weekend.
Oh yeah and when I pulled my floor jack out from under the car I ripped my rocker panel trim off the car, thats now duct taped on (classy I know)! What a ******* PITA. The extra fun part was having to sawzall the old caliper off the mounting bracket. The pin that threads into the caliper and is supposed to slide in and out of the mounting bracket was completely rusted into it. Would move at all, even smacking it with a 20lbs sledge hammer whilst on an anvil....i moonlight as a blacksmith... no really. I can actually say that this is something i did today, got done at 12:10 am this morning....
