Okay Dustin, how about this one. I took my 56 around the block today. Actually made 8 pounds of boost when I headed down the road  I still have some fine tuning to do to smooth out the throttle responds. |

Well its not where I drove today, but my wife. She has never driven a stick before and asked if she could drive home from dinner tonight, so I was feeling lucky and she gave it a shot. Round trip was about 15 miles or so with a few stop lights, stop signs and windy dark country roads. The first few times she took off were a bit hairy, but by the end of the trip she was doing pretty well. There's nothing like the sound of over revving in first gear while the beam is bouncing off the pavement, like a little kid dribbling a basketball. The head lights shining on the ground in the tree's, on the ground in the tree's, on the ground in the tree's and I'm yelling CLUTCH. No harm, no foul and once we were home safely and nothing was hurt, it was pretty funny.

You are brave Jerry. Tell her to keep trying and she will get it.
