The point was you weren't contributing anything.
I cited a clarification as the motivation for the text you quoted.

BTW When did Evo owners become so elitist anyway? We're talking about shift knobs and I get slammed for not owning an Evo...
Not exactly. You tried to pick a fight and got grounded in the fact that your participatory mode isn't relevant.

It's not even the first time. A shift knob is a shift knob. It doesn't matter if it's on an Evo or a crx, they get hot and people are trying to find solutions.
Are we finished now?

Our cars do not have a transmission tunnel Your shifter is actually connected to a plastic tray with two cables attached to it.
