Go to manhasset, they are mod friendly. When I was dropped on tein s techs my local dealership (competition in smithtown) didn't even question me. I told the tech the rear differential was stained and he said it was covered under warranty and they'd replace the subframe but he needed to make sure my car would make it up on the lift being lowered.
Mike, did you have your keys or loose change in the same pocket as the battery? Wishing you a fast recovery.

Thanks guys. I wish I could tell you what happened, what I do know is that the extra battery for the vape that I had in my cargo pocket burst out in flames kind of like a flare setting my pants on fire all after literally getting into work vehicle and having it in reverse... I was shocked and it happened so quick that I jumped out without realizing the vehicle was in reverse , but I do not remember whether I put it out with my hand(which got a little burned too) before getting back in to stop it and put in reverse or after.
Now the strong meds I took a few hours ago are wearing off and it's burning just as bad as after this happened

John - To be honest I haven't done much research into replacing the gears and not set in stone if I want to do it.... Yet.. Also been splurging on a couple parts for the season which will all be going on within the next few weeks. The gears might be the last thing I do before tune which probably not happen until next year.
However, I've been looking at a 4.083 swap for so many years now that I'm 100% solid on wanting to do it.

My god, Mike. That's awful. I've a few friends who are into vapes, and will be sharing that pic.
What kind of battery? And what else was in your pocket?

Worth watching. The kid drones on quite a bit, but his explanations are solid.

Mike, thanks for the description, and being ablaze while in a moving vehicle just makes it even more insane. Can't imagine what that moment was like, glad you're able to walk away from that but I'm sure you're in for a long healing process.
Hang in there bud.
Just when you thought vaping was safer than smoking

Roof Wrap
This post will cover two topics so as to avoid charges of wh*rin' it up.
=> Mike I'm wishing you a speedy recovery. Just looking at your pics is painful for me. I feel for you. Its timely as well. I was ready to go out and research vaping as an alternative pastime. Maybe I should rethink?
=> I'm seriously entertaining a gloss black roof wrap. I've seen a couple VR A54 coupes. Anyone see some of a sedan? The MW looks great IMO.
Also, I hope it goes without saying, any impressions or feedback on either vaping or roof wrapping are welcomed.
Thanks - Sean

Other than that tip... I got nothing. Pretty sure every single one of us has weighed the merits of that mod more than once.

IMO that gloss black wrap would look great w/ your red G, and since you already have black accents it should go even better. Only pitfall is that darn sharkfin, you can cut around it leaving enough wrap to tuck under it, then attempt to wrap the fin (with some good stretch and a little heat you should be able to do it, but ) or go the long way and remove the headliner and remove the fin, then paint/wrap the fin separately, this way you'll be sure to get a better wrap underneath the fin. You could also wrap and tuck under the fin, mask it off the best you can then paint the fin.
Each option has it's pros/cons, and if you get the headliner tweaked I've heard it's hard to get back to the good factory look.

Good for you!
22 years ago, I quit a 10 year, pack-a-day habit cold turkey. So freaking hard to do. I think it was my third serious attempt.
Just see previous comment.
