Bacteria?

kfull · 09-13-2013, 11:07 AM

If anyone's really paranoid about bacteria in your z we've got some industrial sized sterilizers where I work that are big enough to fit a few cars in

so hit me up if you're interested. It only would cost you about 20 grand!

Those too.

On a side note, I'm in the medical field and look under a microscope at bacteria on a daily basis.

A silver or silver plated knob would be a natural anti bacterial.

i keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol in the garage to wipe my hands clean before snacking on something while admiring my cars.

i dont like those hand sanitizers cause they smell.

"fee fi fo fum, i smell" said the green giant.

I used to work on a Scanning Electron Microscope. Lot's of cool things to see.

I took your comments tongue in cheek.

Dangerous combo is FOOD + SHIFT KNOB. 80% of poultry products are contaminated w/ Salmonella. Swab the conveyer belt at your local grocery store for chicken juice. Now, everything you touch that you bought has it on it. I know this because I spent 5 days in the hospital w/ Salmonella. Have a jug of alcohol hand sanitizer stuck behind my passenger seat w/ dispenser nozzle. I don’t lick my fingers any more regardless how good especially in my car. My shift knob is relatively sterile and safe for performing surgical procedures.

So I guess it's ok to consume fecal matter with your sandwich as long as you used hand-sanitizer first.

If that is not enough... Tommykaira is a famous Japanese car tuning and manufacturing company. The shift knob is very rare too. That should give enough reason for those JDM lovers all over it.

Now I am gonna go ahead and read WTF is this bacteria on shift knobs and steering wheels all about.

Nope. F=MA. Lighter and shorter FTW.

Just avoid letting anyone with open, running sores drive your car.

Or share your drink, etc.
