  1. Pat says:

    Figures it’s only a four speed.

  2. Leonardo Cardoso de Medeiros says:

    excellent! it’s mine!

  3. ray says:

    i love the fact that he/she actually made the effort of coloring reverse in blue ;)
    i’d call it art!

  4. keef says:

    It may be a “4 speed”, but when you really want to punch it, shift into “R” for “Race”.

  5. Andrea says:

    The mere fact that they drew the line of reverse in blue shows actual thought put into it…… that’s kinda scary!

  6. Paddy says:

    And the gas pedal is made of a folded-up big mac box!

  7. Evan says:

    I like that he started with a blue line from the R, then decided that black would be classier…

  8. dono1 says:

    It must have one of those floating transmissions.

  9. Luetti says:

    the owner of this car must have very big hands

  10. dono1 says:

    @Luetti
    Either that or he only had a wide-tip Sharpie.

  11. QuickFix says:

    If ya can’t find it, grind it. They’ll make ‘em out of rubber next year.

  12. Daniel says:

    I would say that I am not impressed as I have seen this way too many times already, but I will keep quiet as that probably says more about me than anything else.

  13. Badgirl says:

    Good one, Paddy.

  14. Badgirl says:

    Dono – correction – not Sharpie…..crayon

  15. dono1 says:

    This is actually two fixes in one: a shifter knob AND a viewing porthole for his ice chest.

  16. fresco says:

    Evan :
    I like that he started with a blue line from the R, then decided that black would be classier…

    :-D yeah, exactly!

  17. Arnason says:

    This must be a polystyreenactment of a stick shift.

  18. Jim says:

    Man, he oughta clean up in that car…

  19. That’s a Texas Shiftmaster 5000 shifter knob! Everything’s bigger in Texas!

  20. dono1 says:

    @Leonardo Cardoso de Medeiros
    I commend you! Styrofoam was a such a good choice of materials. Why choose the strength and durability of wood, metal, or plastic over the light weight, thermal insulation and colorability of styrofoam? Bravo!

  21. Prom says:

    If you are driving a manual transmission and have to look at the knob to see what gear you are in, maybe you shouldn’t be driving?

  22. Josef says:

    Where is the fifth ? ;-)

  23. notanengineer says:

    oy vey!! this reminds me of the old spell
    “Wer den Tod nicht scheut,
    der fährt Goggo oder Lloyd!”
    (“ke who isn’t afraid of death drives Goggo or Lloyd!” :-D

  24. wind says:

    looks like somethings been chewing on it

  25. prorigger says:

    Obviously this individual smokes too much pot. Hence the short term memory loss and the need to have the shift pattern reference ready. They might be short sighted too.

  26. Jay says:

    Even my Yugo had 5 gears, I wonder what car this is. Soft to touch, Styrofoam is an excellent choice.

  27. Ramizan says:

    Prom :
    If you are driving a manual transmission and have to look at the knob to see what gear you are in, maybe you shouldn’t be driving?

    true, the only time you may want to look at it is when u put in the wrong gear and engine screams into the red line like it’s going to give birth

  28. jim har says:

    I see a used car salesman talking this car up in the background….”ain’t she a beauty”

    Would you buy a used car from this man?

  29. jim har says:

    I can hear a used car salesman saying in the background “ain’t she a beauty!”

  30. Midnight says:

    Looks like a mechanic in the car to me, maybe they stuck it on there so they could put thier food on there while they worked? And they merely put the numbers and stuff on so it would inconspicious when thier boss walked by?

  31. Ernst says:

    In 2nd and 4th gear it can also be used as an extra seat. Good thing it’s not a 5 speed.

  32. sickcow says:

    What kind of car is it? Is the graphic wrong, or (s)he simply “push up” the shifter to put it to the 1st? (sry for my low-english:))

  33. ernie86 says:

    Just push up is mostly 3th gear. To the left and up is 1st :) since there is no 5th gear you can’t get the stick to the right.. Just guessing by the way.. I’ve also got a 4 speed gearbox ;-)

  34. Deathwish says:

    Finally a use for those rice cakes that keep showing up in our cupboard…

  35. Kwazzi says:

    Wow no wonder there’s ‘bad driving’ tales of Americans in Aus and vice versa; you’ve got your gears on backwards.

  36. KGB Kenny says:

    This looks like the base to a styrofoam head, the kind you would see modeling wigs. So I suppose its use is fitting to have the car heading in the right direction.

  37. anonymous says:

    So son when you really want a new car just switch the styrofoam around when moms driving it

  38. IceFire says:

    Introducing the new and improved MegaShift (TM) for the elderly and hard-of-seeing!

  39. atomantman04 says:

    Ican see how the is could be helpfull while recieving road head it can even double a a stool to sit one more
