interesting, but5 i’m not a fan of bugs

i’ve always wanted a shift knob with turn signal buttons on it.

so you don’t have to take your and off the wheel & or knob to signal when switching lanes etc…

I love spiders so much that if I was a woman, I’d fuck your shift knob if it had one of them on it. And let you film it.

Spiders don’t scare me and neither do other insects. That said, putting one in a shift knob seems pretty retarded.

you could probably cover the fake carbon fiber with something… it’d be cool if the large button was momentary instead of on/off so you could use it as a horn…

Since when do you need to take your hand off the wheel for your turn signal, where the fuck is yours at?

well if my hand is between 10 & 12 on the wheel & my other hand is on the shift knob…& you’re making lane changes it would be easier of the signal was on the shifter.  
also having a button to flash high beams would help.

plus i have a snap-off momo which extend the column making the turn signal stalk a LONG stretch for your fingers…if you got short fingers/small hands you def. have to take your hands of the wheel…a couple people who have driven my car have complained about that.

i can reach it but i can see how some people would have problems.

but like i said, in certain circumstances it would be convenient…merging onto onto a highway when your steering & go through gears

if you drive a stick & can’t see how this would make certain things smoother then i don’t what to tell you

Friend of mine actually has the Racerboy, but it’s not installed. Kind of a cool part but yes it does look like it’s right out of Tokyo Drift.

Would you rather have one that was CNC aluminum or something? Just like 2 buttons or would you want all 4?
