For anyone who is not familiar with panel fan, he is Batman (or maybe Dudley Do-right. He is Canadian after all).
He showed up at Homecoming and made it almost all the way there from Canada before his 5th gear crumbled like burnt Canadian bacon. He boldly removed the T-5, took it all apart, found the totally destroyed 5th gear, put it back together, then decided to drive it back to Canada in 4th gear.
He then decided that his 4.10 (I think) rear end would scream in 4th gear, so he then proceeded to swap the too steep rear end for the 3.90 rear end which he just happened to have brought with him. All of this over a 3 day weekend! He made it all the way back to Canada no problem.
He never once scowled, nor cursed, nor even harrumphed.
THAT is what Batman would do!
