I hate winter..
So although I do live in Tallahassee, Florida It has been pretty cold lately. tonight the low was 20. I know, a bit cold for Florida huh?
I noticed when ever I get in my car to drive to class or run errands, my shift *** is freezing. I have the mach 1 ball. Am I the only one that noticed this? What shifter does everyone else use?

Single digits would have been nice this weekend. Went on a trip to Minneapolis and somewhere is Wisonsin and it was -19* when we got up to leave and I don't think it got over 5*. Never been so cold in my life.

emission laws... hah
Just more big brother for ya. The real pollution problem is China not our cars haha. And for that matter, India is trying to produce a car that can be bought for less then $4 or $5k, so think how much pollution THAT will add, India has a huge population, haha.
Silly tree hugers... if they only knew....

Considering how "hot" the Mach 1 shift **** gets in the summer (I have a small leather pouch that I cover my shift **** with to reduce the heat effect of direct sunlight when the car is parked), I am not surprised that very cold weather would also have a big effect on that shift ****. I don't drive mine very much in real cold weather (winter garage queen most of the time), but if it is cold, I'm usually wearing lightweight gloves at the very least.
Makes you realize why so many shifters these days are leather covered.
