the PWJDM was fine until i mis-shifted the other week when the rear of my Z spun out about 65degrees requiring a 120 degree counter and i was trying to get into 2nd gear when the knob slipped out of my hand causing me to spill- water-from-the-cup which is a big fail.  it was an abrupt recovery from a drift and i did not enjoy it one bit. i blame it on the knob.  |
HAHA blame the knob!
It certainly will get hot here in TX in the summer, but my hands are pretty heat tolerant from working in a kitchen for many years (I try to keep up that ability by handling hot stuff on a regular basis - like grabbing the exhaust tips with both hands after a spirited drive
). If I really need to, I am considering purchasing some driving gloves to keep in the car since my hands tend to get sweaty when I'm holding onto the steering wheel or shift knob for an extended period of time. Its more when I'm taking a trip out of town than during DD. I haven't decided if it makes me pretentious or just lame, but I figure if its for the purpose of better maintaining the leather surfaces my hands touch, then its perfectly acceptable.
