I want a shift knob just like that, I seem to shift better with a taller shift knob so I can negotiate the shift gates easier.

I'll pay you for one like that if you can make it heavier.... and possibly make the hole on center

Up for the job chief?

You can't afford me.

More to the point, I wouldn't make one for the $30 - $70 that Delrin shift knobs typically go for.

That's my cover. The paparazzi are always after me.

But serious, you have something against New Orleans? Don't knock it 'til you try it.

You're response reminded me of the Ferrari scene from The Fast and the Furious.

I've got more money than I know what to do with right now (so I'm going FI and buying an M3 daily driver )

But I understand.. labor like that is usually not worth your time.

isn't the purpose usually to ADD weight to the shift knob for quicker and lighter throws?
Why would adding weight make throws quicker and easier? Newton sez you fail.
