<VV> Update - Automatic Floor Shift kit

[Vairtec Corporation]

I was one of those who suggested a gear indicator, not only for the 
convenience of it but also because a gear indicator is required on 
automatic transmission cars for State inspection here in New Jersey.

So Mark went to work and made it happen.

In the meantime, the State of New Jersey announced that they are 
discontinuing all mechanical inspections, and that only emissions will 
be tested.  So the "inspection" portion of the need has become moot here.

Still, Mark, you did the right thing.
