Shifter sucks - who has a cool shifter knob?

Found another thing I hate about my CL-S, the :ghey: shifter knob and it's perforated leather design....

Anyone have pics of cool knobs on their CL-S? haha - I said knob.

That's actually very nice as well... I think it's the 'S' that is buggin me - although I had a 98 M3 and the shift pattern and ///M logo lit up on it... cheesy but *sort* of cool...

jriga, not only is the knob, as you say, gay, so is your automatic transmission...a new knob ain't gonna make it any better.

That's some cold blooded shit. LOL :P

Sorry man, not everyone likes shifting. I have been in and out of that phase... I didn't buy my CL-S cause I wanted to be a race driver... it's an Acura. Can't remember the last time I was at mid-ohio and saw and CL come around the corner in front of an M3 or Supra.

Bottomline for me is, SOME cars need a manual... other cars *CL-S* that are front wheel drive and don't handle all that well to begin with, why bother?

Nice car, my Acura is - but not a race car. My M3 was manual - and that was cool cause it needed it!

Sides - I hear a shiny shiter adds 5hp.

I was tired of shifting...every car I have had since 1987 was a standard...I needed a break.
