One thing that I hate about pre 98 consoles is the cup holders...so horrible.

Yeah I had that problem in my 96. If I swap them out I will take the cupholders out and figure out somethin else to go there.... I like the I-Pod idea. Maybe just a holder for my celly.... We'll see. I really wanna do the swap though.Hmmm what could I sell????....

I figured out the center console - I removed that and cleaned it out. The e-brake boot is jacked up - all connectors are broken off. Thanks for the info - I've had the car almost a year and havn't even cleaned it from the PO - havn't washed the windows inside, havn't lifted the floor mats - I just bought some cheapies from Checker to protect them in the winter. This is going to be a big nasty project... it always feels so good afterwards though :laugh:

for photo ops, try going down into the industrial parts. there are some cool background with buildings and equipment down there. i saw a bunch of VW's doing a shoot at a building on Railroad drive with an outside crane. i've been wanting to get down there and shoot my car, but they always seem to be open when i got by!
i dont know if i can make it or not, depends on the car, depends on what is going on that weekend too. i'll see what i can do though

It scares me. I should do it, but knowing my luck, I will get pulled over for it.
Cop "about two miles back there I noticed you turned off your high beams and your fogs were on at the same time"
Me "really? I bought the car that way
"Cop "will you please get out of the car"
Me "ok"
Cop starts to beat me and shoots me, and plants a gun. "that will teach those kids".

LMAO no one is going to notice that your high beams and fog lamps are on at the same time
And even if they did notice they wouldn't think it was anything out of the ordinary.

Cops notice these things when they want to.

Thats what I want to do. My 4x4 doesn't have headlights - they are busted. I drive around with a pair of 130w KC Daylighters and my parking lights - nobody cares. I've got no worries about getting pulled over - it seems like I'm invisible in the CSVT to the cops - passed a cop this morning doing 75 in a 55 - I just waived and kept on going....
