Regular cabins run about $160/night and the lodge rooms run $89/night.

probably closer to 1k when you factor in the cost of roofies and such.

Thanks for the info

I figured about $500 in gas. So what is the area called where the lodging is? Is there a certain time I should book a cabin/room by? Sorry to keep steering this thread off topic Red.

No prob. Nothing is more important than zdayz

Red--I'm not a big fan of the value proposition on the boss, at least for my goals.

Does it feel werd when putting in reverse being it's in the other direction?. My Ford (450) work truck is like that.

It was a weird transition for me at first (all my other MTs had reverse in the same position as the Z), but once you get used to it I find it a better setup. Going from reverse to 1st is quicker.

holy shyt, and another turns to the dark side

Congrats on the new ride man, it looks awesome, although, given the chance, I definitely would have gone the Boss route

First things first, uncork that stock exhaust. Next, either a JLT/Airraid/Steeda CAI/Tune is a must. And if you really wanna melt faces and turn heads, an offroad H/X pipe (X pipe is nasty raspy so I went with an H). If you want a bit more engine noise in the cabin, you can remove the foam from inside the sound tube as well. Do this and you'll be sitting well into the 400's at the wheel.

BTW, the new Hurst short throw looks amazing, a little on the expensive side but it reminds me of old 60's era drag muscle.

There is a lot of criticism about the Hurst shifter for the lack of a reverse lockout. I'd never use that one.

Has MGW come out with theirs yet? I know they were building an entire new mount assembly.

theres no reverse lockout? It does come with an LED indicator so you can tell that you're in reverse, so thats better than nothing. Didnt know MGW had one coming out.
