What do you think of this custom shift knob? Feeler?
Ok, I just had to share this. A buddy of mine is spending the night at my house with his girlfriend. I'm surfing this site, checking out the new threads, and "Trish" comes in and says nonchalantly, "Huh, that looks like my special friend. Look how he's holding it, I bet it's his special friend too..." Then just walks out.
I was literally ROFLMAO. Literally ROFLMAO. I fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard. It was mostly in the way she said it. No thought in it, just talking off the top of her head.

We are very close to the number needed for production. So I've decided to continue accepting orders through Wed of this week. Then I'll give Clint the OK to begin production. He is already talking with his machinest about scheduling time on the CNC mill.
HIJACK - www.zainostore.com - I know there is a lot of marketing gimicky stuff there ... but believe me, it works, just as described on the site. I have a silver car, and really shouldn't care less about wax. BUT, this stuff made me care. Zymol, Meguairs and Turtle can't hold a candle to this stuff in terms of depth, smoothness and dirt repellance.
/HIJACK
wohoo ... keep up the orders everyone
Let's get into production asap

IIRC, most of the aftermarket ***** I have seen are without gate etchings or markers on them.
First thing...is what are you doing letting people drive your car? kidding....
Of course...etching sometimes doesnt help, as I've let Clint drive my car at 8psi, and he still missed 2nd....haha!

I prefer the pattern-less look

I use a few wraps here and ther with teflon tape to get it lined up and tight.
How do you like it? You try the B&M? How would you compare it to that? that's what I'm using right now

I have showed this shift **** to several people at ZDAYZ, and most everyone that has seen it really likes the look and feel. It's a very different and unique shape, vs. the other ***** on the market. And unlike the aluminum ***** that get VERY hot in the sun, this one stays very lukewarm to the touch.
Take a look...any comments? I am sure Clint will chime in with his commentary on how he developed this ****. If there is enough interest, my company is thinking of ordering a special production run of these shifters.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
