i did til 2 months ago....rent was $280/month, utilities free, parking $20/month but i paid the price otherwise...car got broken into so many times, bums asking for change every time i left the room, community restroom for the whole apartment. the place was a wreck, my landlord/apt. owner kept asking me if i knew who's been living in the rooms that are supposed to be vacant, rooms next door were used for prostitution/drugs, cops always asking what i'm doing walking in downtown (hello? i live here?), getting robbed, etc etc etc. me and my lex just didn't belong there, but when it was time to move out, i have to admit i was sad to leave. OH, and i forgot that once, i was leaving to go somewhere, and this bum just crawls out of the manhole in the sidewalk....he lived in there!!!! some scary and funny stuff went on there....i tell you, staples center and all that makes downtown l.a. look clean nowadays, but in the 2square miles, there is a lot of improvement needed

i lived in smack dab downtown. 4th street near central ave. i looked out my window and saw the skyrises every day. you say you visited your friend during college, but most normal people dont actually live in downtown because there are no houses to start off with, they live near it, like around usc. or around sunset, which is much cleaner than inner downtown

haha..4th st. is an east-west street. it is one way, and traffic moves from west to east. obviously its between 3rd and 5th. 4th street runs a bit north of pershing square, stuff like bunker hill and wells fargo building(one of them) as well as the 1940s subway station, now defunct, are on 4th, a bunch of stores and rescue missions too. a part of 4th just barely touches little tokyo. actually the mitsuwa yaohan plaza is on alameda and 3rd. i guess i can bring this back to the thread topic by saying that they sell really cool shift ***** in yaohan plaza there.

Post Levoc Shifter

Okay, so back to that Levoc shifter on the bottom of page 1 that I've been obsessing (sp?) over...

So far I've gone to these sites:

Race Search

BBT MotorSports


The first site shows some Levoc ones, but not that one. And the last one has the shifter but it's not in wood and chrome either...and it doesn't give you a part number or way to buy it.

I want that shifter! Only thing I'm worried about is that it doesn't look like it goes all the way down...and the lexus one is wrapped leather all the way down. I haven't taken anything apart yet, but I don't know if I'm even gonna have some type of rod or stick to put the new shifter on...aaaany suggestions?

oh yeah, and a website for the shifter! hehe
u guys rock

The inside of all es's Ive seen have no chrome highlights inside the car. I understand the outside emblems or wheels might be. I think of it, just like I think of the rides with spraypainted raver ****** highlights. Like yellow ac vents or whatever. Ive seen all kinda crap come through the shop. I kinda want to replace my interior with crushed velvet or something but I couldnt leave the dash the way it is so I gave it up because it looked like ****. Probably would have sucked anyway. Its meant to be leather. I kinda want to upgrade to better leather.
