My dad got tired of seeing me and my wifes driving ours around, and he went out and bought his own. Best thing he's done in my lifetime, IMO- it took at least ten years off him and really cheered him up in general, not that he was grumpy. When you're a car guy without a hotrod, it screws with your chemistry, I think. It's good to have him "fixed". Somewhat on topic- the first thing he changed was the shifter, and he went with the same Kona/Pro5.0 that I have.
