i'm sure the guy in the ferrari was like DAYUMMMM! i wish i could have a car like that!
lol
I know it sounds ridiculous..

Well heres the story-

I was about to pull out of a gas station and there it twas..:drool: i gave the guy a thumbs up, and he kinda gave me the signal to go in front of him, so i did.. He followed me for quite awhile.. (downtown Northville thru Hines.. downtown Plymouth.. ) got on it a few times.. Gave me goosebumps.
 
Wow, a magical lucky heatshield!!!

The heatshield was definately the bestesess mod on the 3L SE i had. My $3.00 heatshield definately did the job a heck of a lot better than expected.

For $3 we made 2 heatshields. The funny part is we didn't plan on doing this. We were walking through Jewel, saw a plastic garbage can. Tg]he crand name on the garbage can was "Contour", we knew it was a sign...:laugh:

I used to like my rubbermaid heatshield... until I got Pudmunkie's. There is just no comparison between heat absorbing rubber/plastic and heat expelling aluminum. My rubbermaid used to get hot.... my Pudmunkie is actually cold!
