!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! it’s finally, and literally, in my grasp. Say hello to my new-in-the-box wooden Nardi teardrop-shaped 5-speed shift knob. Thank you eBay seller who sold this item for about the same price it was new over 10 years ago! Now I’m suffering from that “it’s so nice I almost don’t want to use it” mentality but I’m going to overcome it once summer hits and black-colored knobs won’t be fun to touch.

Thanks, I’m sorry it’s not crystallized and LED light-heated for pleasure.

Only looks better with a bit of patina.

Agreed...at least until the shift pattern wears off. I’ll probably end up swapping back and forth between knobs. The wooden Nardi for hot, sunny weather when I have the hardtop off and the top down. The regular black knob for colder weather and for when other people need to drive my car for emergencies or shenanigans.

you can always put some extra polyurethane on it to make it a little more durable.

wow, all this time I never knew those had a shift pattern on them. What car is this going in?

Miata, I’ve been acquiring the wood-trim parking brake handle and steering wheel to tie it all together.

nice man. I feel like the nardi pieces class up the interior a bit.
