It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

It'll be interesting to hear about how quite your ride will be...
Should make a big difference.

Looks like an amazing amount of progress.

Gotta ask, what's the 'lift' for the console do?

So I don't have to lean so far to the right to rest my right arm on while driving.

Perfectly good reason.
Didn't know if it was for a 'monster' amp or a multi disc CD changer or something...
