Wait a minute….got the rotator fixed already to do the shifting and now the knee for the clutch? No way Tom is going to an automatic!

Wish you luck with the recovery!

Yeah but my model X runs 10 flat and the model S runs 9.17. Stock . Hard to argue w that. And Tom
Won’t hav ego shift. Although he’s bionic now so maybe that doesn’t matter anymore.
Does anyone know if he muttered” I'll be back” yet?

I hear that’s a tell tale sign . Kinda like
A witness mark. :-) He can probably now link up to the network
If he changes the drivetrain. Although maybe he won’t need a car at all he’ll just run the 1/4 mile really freaking fast.!

Hope you’re feeling better buddy. Just trying to make you smile a little. You’ll be fishing in no time !

Tom, mine was done robotically as well. I had to stay overnight due to being on blood thinners due to a couple of DVTs that made their presence known earlier last year. Doc released me to do pretty much anything I feel like doing EXCEPT using a tree stand to deer hunt.
