I've got an RSide shifter, and it comes w/ a chrome knob.

Yes. It gets very cold. I'm gonna buy some driving gloves so I don't have to deal w/ it over the winter.

what a weird topic... obviously its gonna be cold, your car dont heat during night time right? LOL I say the best way is get leather shifter, or just give it a few minutes, mine warms up after heat on and grabbin it a few times... think of nice cold titties wink1.gif play with em, the get hot... just dont stick your tongue on knob like you would on titties wink1.gif

In the middle of summer mine is about 105 degrees. I would much rather have it be cold.

The insides of cars in Vegas can get to 150 degrees and up. Just imagine that and then in the winter it gets down to the 20s and teens sometimes. I know that's not as cold as come of you guys but after just getting used to triple digit temps on a regular basis it sucks having a 100 degree drop in temp sometimes in the span of just 2 weeks.

When I was using my Juntos shifter knob..it would burn the crap out of my hand in the summer and freeze it in the winter. I replaced it with the OZ shifter nob and, for some reason, isn't effected as much by the temperature as the Juntos was.
