Zele: Shift knob for Nissan 370Z Z34 12.29.08

In Fresno it gets a little hotter than So Cal so even with the cloth or something covering it you can't touch it for about 15 minutes while the A/C

Yeah, my friend used to keep a beanie on his shifter in his Z28. It was a metal 8-ball... At the time, I didn't drive stick, so when I went to drive his car, I took the beanie off not knowing why it was there in the first place. I grabbed the stick to put it in 1st and **sizzle** that Freaking HURT!

If you guys are worried about the knob being really hot during the summer, just put a sock on top of it. It seems to work for me. I have a set of titanium, aluminum, and stainless steel shift knobs. (I have a friend who runs a machine shop, so we made these for fun)

Kind of defeats the purpose of getting a good looking knob for it to always be covered with a sock. Leather = the way to go for the valley of the sun.
