This reduces movement a lot.

Mount the tranny so your knob doesn't wiggle?

The lack of arm rest in this car annoys me. Why is the e-brake on the left side of the console? WHY?! The passenger does NOT deserve an armrest more than I do.

Actually, I do know why it is, because you couldn't shift with a drink in the onegoddamncupholder if it were switched around.

In the end. Poor design. /rant.

The one cup holder complaint I get. My arm rest is the center console - the passenger doesn't get one. Or drive with two hands cause racecar

If my arm is on the center console, it's an odd feeling/difficult almost to shift. My arm rests on the e-brake, because that's where the armrest should be.

If I'm shifting, my arm isn't resting on anything. If my arm is resting, it sits comfortably on the lid of the center console, although I occasionally open the lid on accident.

FWIW, this is the first car I've ever owned where I felt more comfortable driving with both hands on the steering wheel.

Ah, see, sometimes I'll shift with my arm resting on the e-brake (lazy shifting in traffic and such).

Also, the seatbelt buckle bugs me, if I turn the wheel racecar style (

), my elbow hits it and the belt. If I move it, it bothers my arm when shifting.

I can't win. I'm going to sell it.

And yes, two hands is almost a must. Every little line, rut, painted lines on the road jerks the damn thing.

Though, sometimes I just do it one handed (you know what I mean)... I'm surprised I haven't been pulled over for suspicion of DUI at some points on the freeway where it grabs the car.

As much as I have wanted to, I have managed to resist the temptation to jerk off while driving the car
