Burning your hand when shifting because you have a metal shiftknob, and you left the car in the sun all day. 
Time for a plastic shiftknob...that doesnt retain heat like a metal one does.

Yup, I got rid of mine a long time back just for that very reason. A couple weeks into the summer, and I fabbed something up so I could use my stock leather shift knob again.

The top Hyundai "H" logo on mine is cracked and gone. I really need to get a replacement at some point, I just love the stock one but don't know that I want to get another exact stock one just because of the risk of it cracking again.

I hear ya guys... my cousin machined a custom Stainless Steel Shift Knob for my tib damn thing weighs a TON. in the winter i had to take the knob off and inside to keep it warm if i left it on it would freeze my hand in the morning. now that its summer ive burnt myself a few times lol, but its worth the kickass look B)
