This reduces movement a lot.

Mount the tranny so your knob doesn't wiggle?

The lack of arm rest in this car annoys me. Why is the e-brake on the left side of the console? WHY?! The passenger does NOT deserve an armrest more than I do.




Actually, I do know why it is, because you couldn't shift with a drink in the onegoddamncupholder if it were switched around.


In the end. Poor design. /rant.

The one cup holder complaint I get. My arm rest is the center console - the passenger doesn't get one. Or drive with two hands cause racecar :driving:

If my arm is on the center console, it's an odd feeling/difficult almost to shift. My arm rests on the e-brake, because that's where the armrest should be. :p

If I'm shifting, my arm isn't resting on anything. If my arm is resting, it sits comfortably on the lid of the center console, although I occasionally open the lid on accident.

FWIW, this is the first car I've ever owned where I felt more comfortable driving with both hands on the steering wheel.

Ah, see, sometimes I'll shift with my arm resting on the e-brake (lazy shifting in traffic and such).

Also, the seatbelt buckle bugs me, if I turn the wheel racecar style (:icon17:), my elbow hits it and the belt. If I move it, it bothers my arm when shifting.

I can't win. I'm going to sell it.

And yes, two hands is almost a must. Every little line, rut, painted lines on the road jerks the damn thing.

Though, sometimes I just do it one handed (you know what I mean)... I'm surprised I haven't been pulled over for suspicion of DUI at some points on the freeway where it grabs the car.

As much as I have wanted to, I have managed to resist the temptation to jerk off while driving the car :eekdance:
