I HATE......

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

pedal clusters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x
i'm having problems with mine, the brake pedal won't come back on it's own, you have to stick your toe under it and push it up.
i found out that it's the pin the brake/clutch pedal ride is stuck onto the brake pedal, basically the whole cluster is FUBAR.
so, i went to the junkyard and picked up another along with a few odds and ends all for the grand total of $30...i love junkyards!
this makes the 4th pedal cluster i've taken out!!!!!!! and it's getting really old!
so to make sure this is the LAST cluster i do, on the way home from the yard i stopped at a buddy of mines muffler shop and had him weld the ever living HELL outta the clutch tube. he did an awesome job! should last another 50 years. :D

on a side note, they had a porsche 944 with the script handles...but the only had one :( other wise i would have picked them up too.
If you can't beat them, drop the top and pimp by 'em!

It made me think of an old VW ad that said something along the lines of:
'After serious consideration we decided to add brakes'

Sort of a Why do you want to stop? attitude
