You all gotta look out for me next year as I will be speed shifting like never before. I went in for a performance tune up and got a titanium ball and composite plastic socket all put in my right shoulder. I'll be hitting the gears hard. I just wanted to warn you you all. Doc said I could be a tenth faster. I sure am having trouble with one handed typing right now though.

You must have 3 pedals to speed shift, otherwise it is speed clicking

I stand corrected, I will be speed clicking! Actually, that doesn't sound as good. But I can't argue with someone who is actually shifting.

I've got the all metal hip that the law firm of Dewey Cheatum and Howe advertise. Ouch!

Hope You fell better in a hurry Tom. Wonder if anybody will stick a magnet in the drivers seat backrest, kinda' tough if you can't reach the shifter. Hard to get outta' the car too. Just a thought.

It's only three voices, used to be four, but we realized one of them had a split personality. How long were you in for, how long is the recovery ? I cringe thinking about it. My wife works for an Orthopedic Surgeon, he said that shoulders and elbows on men are the most painful.

I got 6 weeks in a sling, no use of arm. Then therapy from there. Had to do it, the worst part is not being able to do some things. All in all, I have it made in the shade!
