Have an entire page of this magician.

He used to sell a walnut shift knob with a Jaguar Heritage logo that I wanted more than any car accessory ever

Bonus:

I now want a Miata.

Happy Birthday!

Not a typical gated shifter, but an awesome one.

Instructions unclear:

Shifty gate

Wooden Wheels

Ridiculous desert, and something you should eat later.

the one and only time I drove a car with gated shifter, I couldn’t get the damn thing to line up. Gear was a bit off where the channel is. Took me a while. I might be the only one who hates gated shifters... or that damn car was broken. It was a ferrari something or other. Doing valet parking back in the day

It takes a bit to get used to but the click and clack as you change gears is so nice. I miss my gate a few times out of 10 still, but nailing that perfect downshift is very rewarding.

Glad I haven’t gone fully senile, yet! I really need to convince someone to let me drive an R8.

Nice! I’ve thought about valeting on the side but I think that opportunity passed. I value my free-time too much now. What was the ratio of cool cars to boring cars when you were a valet?

That’s no moon shift knob!

Yea it was fantastic as younger guy, the company will still call me every now and again asking if I want to work some holiday, my answer is always no haha.

I worked at the companies original/most lucrative venue, which is in a equally fancy pants area. I’d say it was 30% regular cars/entry level luxury, 50% bigsedan/suv luxury (weird amount of Maseratis), and 20% exotics. 911's, amg mercs, astons, then always a few Italians/Bentleys.

That’s not a bad ratio at all!
