| Long gearsticks?
Anyone know where you can find an extension for your shift knob?
Maybe one that's sort of like School bus ones
I was looking at the new nissan cube in 6 speed form, and found that the gear stick is placed way low, whereas the whole car has a very upright and tall seating position, and the armrest gets in the way of shifting,
Is there something I can add to the shifter that can make it say 6" higher?
I know theres plenty to make the shifter shorter, but don't know if there are kits to raise them. Would be funny if it had the shifter from a bus though.
I guess a tall shift knob would help too,
Saw some VW bus style ones, but the angle on those are too much, and there won't be enough clearance inside the cube

Circuit Hero shift lever extender.
Fits Honda's, not sure about the Cube's thread though. http://www.circuithero.com/products.html

Why the heck would you want to make the shifter longer when everyone else wants a shorter throw?

I know, haven't gotten it yet, lol CGT would be nice...
But I saw that the shifter was placed pretty low and if you want to use the armrest, it's one or the other, that's why i want a longer shifter, although it's really not a big deal.
The cube is excellent value for money for a new car, and it's got a love it or hate it style obviously. There are facial features that even I don't find appealing, but it's undoubtedly practical and has some character.
Test drove a CVT was pretty meh.

I think everyone is getting confused here between longer throws and extended shifter. Having an extended shifter is nice as it keeps your hands in the same area as the wheel and shifter sort of like the EP3 SiRs. I don't think anyone wants longer throws.
Like the above posted, Circuit Hero has one and GarageSpec used to sell some too depending on the thread pitch of the shifter. But I've used them before and they are kind of clumsy. The best is an extended one piece shifter vs. the extensions.

I have a dildo shifter that measures 8". You can PM me. Looks right at home on a Cube too I would think?

Besides my dad says that he'd much rather have me drive the cube, because it's got quite a lot more safety features, and is quite a bit slower.

^ Just like that guy selling the Ford Focus in the offtopic forum says. Give him a 4 door slow ass car so he can run up to a wall from a mile and still not do shit coz it's too slow. HAHAHA.

Saw an Asian guy driving the Cube today.
He looked like a bigger faggot than the guy next to him driving the Smart car.
I think your Dad is trying to stop you from having sex. Otherwise he wouldn't rather you drive a chick car.
Dude, just keep the Z31.
Buy my shiros, and your Z31 will stick to everything. My friend is running them and its niceeee.
He gets more ass with his Z31 than my other friend with a 135.

I'm pretty sure a cube with a jdm dildo knob will get him a lot of ass, just not the kind you or I would like.
Bruno would love it.
