TL shifter knob wearing out?
I know that many of you already have wood shifter knobs, so this wouldn't apply to you, but my shift knob (stock) is wearing out. The leather is just trashed just from regular driving. Do you think this is normal, or am I just bad b/c i shift all the time? Anyone want to get rid of their original?

Tell you what, YU888: I'll sell you mine for ten bucks. I don't really care to know how much you're WILLING to pay, that's a decent offer I think!

Oh, yeah YU888 - I saw one for sale at eBay a month ago, you might check there. Seems like the last bid was around ten dollars at the time. I imagine Acura will want something ridiculous for it, so better to get one used or perhaps just sport for an aftermarket knob. IMHO, of course!
If ya want mine, just email me...

Ok ok very simple. Everyone send me your money and exchange shift knobs with one another. I am willing to take large amounts of money too. So hopefully you'll be willing....
My guess is that YU888 is willing to pay as little as possible.
Do you wear a ring on your right hand? Maybe that wears the leather faster??
