I have tried several aftermarket knobs and ultimately ended up going back to the stock one. The stock knob actually has a fair amount of weight to it so finding a replacement knob with as much weight will be difficult or expensive. Other knobs may look cooler but in terms of shift feel I didn't think they were as good.

I like my Billet Pro Shop 300 series knob quite a bit. It's a little heavier than stock but not crazy. The shape is also similar but a bit lower and bigger in diameter. The delrin outer layer makes it much better on hot days than solid metal knobs I've had in other cars in the past.

Ahhh, I see. Interesting. Didn't realize the OEM one is considered to be pretty good. Maybe I'm just still getting used to it, then.

Wouldn't it be ironic if there was a situation where an LGBT person can save Trump's life and they turn the other way?

I believe it, too, based on how many people around here I see using their phones while they are supposed to be driving.

Why can't people just drive when they are supposed to be driving? This obsession with constantly having one's phone out while driving is ridiculous.

No clue why people can't keep their phones away from their face while driving. Most I'll do it BT calls. If I get a text, that person is waiting until I get to my destination.
