Stickshift with a Black Metal Ball
It seems slick-looking, but having a black metal ball at the end of a stickshift can be a usability problem:
…the stick shift had a black metal ball on the end. A black metal ball. In Mississippi. This is the car that is responsible for me wearing hats. I’d wear the hat all day and then put it on the stick so I wouldn’t burn my hand on the stick-shift in the summers.
