I like the graphite but on the six speed I was hoping to find a white one, but I just seem to find the deals on graphite. And I suffer, like several on this site, from that desease that if one is good, two are better syndrom. I'm even worst on old corvettes, I have two '57s, one '59, two '62s, one '63 and two '67s and I'm looking at a '60.

OK - you got me both ways. First, "pry that little cover off and let the pin and spring drop out". I've been reading a number of posts on this subject, and I was convinced you had to pull the lower panel & instrument panel in order to get the lock assembly out so that I could remove the steering wheel lock portion of the thing. Your saying this is a much simpler task? Which little cover do I pry off etc?
Second way is your cars - Eight Vettes - dang, that trumps 7 MX5's. Well, by comparison with your collection I am a real piker - you have to tell my wife about your cars so she can get off my butt about having too many my own-self!
