At least Choco contributes useful stuff regularly. There are some newer guys on this site that have a similar amount of time here as him with similar post counts, but much of what they post is either general junk or misleading/often incorrect info.

BTW, since this thread is pretty off topic anyway, might as well put some tech stuff in it. How's your shifting issue now? Continuing to improve with more miles on the new driveshaft?

i think the driveshaft either needed be broken in a bit around the yoke, or perhaps it wasn't "sitting right" and needed to "settle". i mean, this sucker was a lot tighter than the stock one.

The camaro has 4 cup holders and the Grand Cherokee has 2. Shouldn't this be the other way around?
I use the hidden one for drinks when i am on lunch break and the rear ones for plastic bottles when I am out driving.

They slide out of the console lid...and when out will lock the console lid so you dont accidently spill the drinks.... I know about my "secret" cup holder because my console is in an 87 TA...so I saw it while installing the console

ok i think i have the best one, i was looking all over the roof for to turn on the overhead light, took me forever to figure the lights were attached to the rear view mirror. 
also thought i was missing a button for the hazzard lights, no idea u had to pull the damn thing, all previous cars had the red button
and last but not least i had no idea my headrests were adjustuable (up and down)

So anyway, I was thinking, yeah on a t/a they have a cupholder tucked away under the radio passenger side there, why don't I have one. So I looked closer and BAM! I do have it! It's sweet. It's invisible until you swing it out then you have a reliable and usable place for your beverage. SWEET! Anybody else oblivious about this? I drove my car 40k miles and finally found it ha!

Did you all know about the secret smuggling compartment in the rear hatch? If you lift that pane off and take out the tire, you can fit all kinds of stuff in there. You might be able to fit a short shotgun or rifle in there and cover it up with the panel, or hide your drugs back there.

Since we are talking about secret compartments (I found the cupholder a couple days after buying my car), my old '93 Nissan Sentra had a secret drawer under the passenger's seat. I could put CD's, the radio's faceplate, books, all sorts of stuff in there. Best. Feature. Ever.
