why i didn't go to work today
 

my new turner motorsports cf shift knob arrived and i thought that while i had it off, why not install the coolest shift skirt there is. i checked my friendly hyundai dealer for a tiburon rubber skirt, but he didn't have any. then i asked about an aftermarket one he had hanging on the wall and sure enough it was for a tiburon. i honored his "license to steal" and paid him his "marked down" price for it and headed back home. i have to thank sid and octane guy for the how-to on this. (you could have warned me about the sore thumbs) i've always admired this look and i think it's a good birthday present to myself. (that's really why i didn't go to work) if anyone is looking for something a little different in a shift knob, this one from turner is the most beautiful i've seen, and it's the same size & weight of the original, just not heat sensitive. i guess i'll go back to work tomorrow.

The shift knob looks cool, how much do they cost?

happy birthday!

jay, check out turner motorsports to see the knobs. climbergirl, where are you located? i climbed for years and do k-9 therapy with my cattle dog "mallee". she looks alot like me.:wink:

Now that's a cool look! Gee, familiar too:

Not much difference between the real Tiburon (mine) and yours, eh?

cheers,

I came across this terrific how-to link http://www.littlemini.us/technical/shiftboot/index.asp from OctaneGuy.

You look like your dog? I hear that happens. Not sure if I look like the chocolate lab or the golden retriever. Guess it doesn't matter, they are both adorable!:lol: :lol: :lol: I am fairly new to the climbing world. Started this year with a little more effort. Outside climbing around lone pine, ca (alabama hills, near mt whitney) Bouldered in the buttermilks around biship. I hear redrocks is awesome. Thats near vegas, right? I can only climb 5-9's right now. Before I hurt my shoulder in June, I was trying a few 5-10a's. Now I am sure I will be back at 5-8 level.:sad: Hey, I used to have an aunt named Malley. I am sure she worked with cattle too!:lol: :lol: :lol: :nod:

yes, redrocks is just a 20 minute drive from the strip. there's over 100 climbs (both trad & sport) under 5.9 there, plus it's a beautiful place. i've climbed the gorge near you before, hated the approach. next year, come early for AMVIV and spend a day or two climbing here. here's my happy pup.

Nice one Rick. Looks good.
