“I don’t know about you, but I don’t find myself drifting out of lanes all that often”

Cor - Tina!

If the blanket is red, I got one of those  too. The cat loves it.

There’s two of these things in existence?

FWD manual, still need somewhere for the shift rods to go.

Another neat item, not a gauge, is the seat recliner knob on a W124 Merc. If you pull it out and wind the headrest adjusts.

In the car business we get these experts every day. You just acknowledge and move on (ignore). Everyone is an expert.
