Yea, it's dormant, but that doesn't mean the car isn't on my mind..

So.. Let's have some fun.

Guess what I got for my car? (A few of you know what I have in the works, pipe down Andy/Scott/Carl).

LOL

First person to guess correctly gets +1 internet points. I'll even give clues "warmer" or "colder"

ebay is such a great place to find whatever you want, and even when you don't it always leads to better (and cheaper) options...

Congratulations on the purchase of a rare and valuable set of parts, indeed!

Congrats, Paul. You now have another man pedal! I'd guess those pedal setups don't pop up too often. Sure are lucky to happen to find a set. :)
