It's time, to keep a general idea of time, we are slaves to time
right....'have to be there at 9am', amazingly we walk through the door at
8:59, a sense tells us that it's time to go.
I use mine for a daily driver, and sleep over drunken on the weekends,
breakfast tacos & oj for friends. But I am a runner and depend greatly on
time, I just like to start and stop it when I can.
Living a single life with a westy and sports coat, enjoying walks to buy
beer that's cheaper than coke, thank you miller high life.
Troubleshooting right, we westy guys get it, we know shits gonna hit the
fan. we like our rear wheel drive westy to snake around a corner in the
rain, slpitting the tachometer nearing 5000 rpm, dog going WTF.
How does the clock plug in, a ribbon likeinesrt like the tach, or
something more. i'd let you try mine, if you were close.
Hint, pull your cluster's top to reveal the brake,cluth resivore. remove the
closest 2 screws on the left and right to you, lift and uh-oh cops,
stash....
Also works well with a joint rolling through border patrol in the drivers
side defroster. I found a something a year later, cleaning my van. thanks
his dudness<--dog
Rants and raves, speaking and typing....lame life with no job or weed, beers
cheap but sucks.
Everyones always stealing me lucky charms
