Gear stick (stick shift)

[Ruud Van Driver]

Is this the wrongest gear stick ever or is there a problem with Ruud’s head?

[Abdullah71601]

Some kind of weird distortion?

[GradyPhilpott]

It seems to be a bit of overkill for an automatic transmission.

I do believe that rally cars use these for manual transmissions, though.

Whatever, if it does it for you, then more power to you.

Looks like a candy here in North America called an ASTRO Pop ....very yummy.

I’m actually out and about today. We run a course every quarter for young lawyers and claims handlers in the marine industry; we give them a series of lectures and try and take them to local ports, ship simulators, the MPA vessel traffic service tower and a ship visit. This is the gear shift in our mini bus, which is the organised transport for the two days. I wouldn’t have a shift like that in any vehicle of mine, ever.

And what's that little blue rubber hand just inside the steering wheel?

[tritium8]

That just seems dangerous and a bit unnecessary but to each his own.

I think it’s a rest for the heel of the hand. I’ll ask the driver when we get back in after lunch.

I had a friend once that put a beer tap handle on his car. Pretty cool actually.

Looks like some sort of marital aid.

Love the Polish AC.

It acts like one when the van’s under acceleration

Suggestive of some sort of obsession, not sure what.

I’d probably laugh my arse off every time I looked at that thing, especially under acceleration. I’m easily amused though.

Lol oh my.
