    As far as the high shifter. I am not very tall and never found the need to have a tall shifter for leverage. If you need one for leverage there is something wrong with the truck. I am inclined to believe the tall shifter is a cool factor, at least to the driver who has one.

    Mom and Dad never let him have a sting ray bike when he was a kid. Maybe the tassles on the handle bars will beat him to death.

    Twin sticks, get the torch out and heat up the shift levers and bend them together to one hand it.

    Jezz, they just put a ban on holding a cell phone with one hand, don't let Lahood see that video, he'll ban manual transmissions. lol
