The alloy shift knobs were developed to ensure correct driving habits.
As taught in most driving schools, the shift knob is only to be used
during shifting, and with a solid clean throw. The exact amount of heat
transfer during this time period was calculated and the density of the
alloy shift knob adjusted to ensure that when shifting correctly a nice
warm feeling is generated, which enhances the driving experience.
Anyone leaving their hand on the shifter which loads the shifter springs
and is understood to be a poor driving habit will however receive a
nasty burn.

Subject: Billet shift knobs
I just saw the new "aluminum billet" shift knobs in the Moss summer sale
flyer, and all I could think was, "Oh great, now I can burn my hand on
the
shifter just like on the steering wheel rim."
LOL...
