Default Thanks Dragaholic!!

I want to thank Dragaholic for helping me with my clutch install the last two nights. I know he has been getting some bad rap here lately so I wanted to give recognition where recognition is due. We worked into the morning hours where he didn't want to stop but I had to cut it short because I had to get up for work. (3:30am Thursday morning and 5:00 this morning ) He busted his *** to help a fellow board member and I wanted to say thanks for the help, it is much appreciated.

To top it off he volunteered to help when he found out what I was planning to do to the car without me even asking. I don't know about the rest of you guys but that says a lot to me when someone willingly takes time out of their schedule to help, in this case, a newbie at installing a clutch.

Once again I wanted to thank a fellow board member for helping another board member, and this is what I like about the site. You always have people there to give a helping hand when you need it.

Hey bro, sorry not responding any sooner, I've been away from the computer. Anyhow, you are very welcome. I'm glad I could help you out. Even though it was a PITA, I'm glad we finally finished it. We had bad luck, but we stuck through it and got it done. Seems like everything that could go wrong, went wrong. There have been members here on the board who have helped me in the past and its only fair that I offer my help to others in return. At times I became very frustrated with the job, but overall I had fun. If you ever need help in the future, just let me know. Now take me to Hooters biotch and buy me some wings and beer.

I've got you covered on the wings and beer, but you are not lying about the frustrated part. I wanted to throw the damn master and stomp the crap out of it. Who would think that a small part as a pilot bearing and a master would give us the most trouble!

Yeah I've met him and he seems like a nice guy in person. It's cool for him to help out like that. I'm sure it's all appreciated though.

Good luck on the project Mike and Dragaholic!!

Thought so. You and Josh stopped by my house right as I was getting my car on the road from the tranny swap. I think you were coming from Aaron's house.
