    Yea and if I put about 3 inches of air in the seat it's just the right height for me, you can also shift with 1 finger too.

    Because I can? I don't know, what's the significance of a short shifter that's about 18 inches off the floor, I've seen those too.

    Well do you think it's cool? Or is it a signal " I'm an outlaw" or what?

    I had a pistol grip in my one 'Cuda, which was massively cool, but really wasn't me anymore.

    I don't it's just what looks neat and works for me. Doesn't really signal anything, I honestly don't care what 99% of the people I know or meet think, and i coukdnt care less what people ive never met think. Most things I do in my life are not meant to send a signal to somebody and if I'm sending you a signal, it'll be pretty obvious.

    That's no fun at all, I don't ever want another automatic transmission vehicle, if was to buy say a challenger it'd have to come with the 6 speed, if they don't have that I don't want it.

    I don’t want the real tall shifter.
    I want the regular stock height shiftrf so I can see the shift pattern
