    MT shift knob replacement question.

    I searched, read all I could on here, but found no answers. So .... how is the shift knob removed? Is a special tool used to remove it? Does it have to be destroyed? Or is it something as simple as unscrewing it with some force? I've been thinking of installing a leather knob with no shift...

    More Velcro!

    This stuff is great for attaching things in the car :D At least ... I will see how it holds up in a few months when the summer heat gets here. But anyway, I installed the big first aid kit on the back of the rear seat, so it can easily be accessed by folding the seat forward.

    "PlastiDipped" ?

    This is simply out of curiosity for my own learning ... On all the other car forums I've been part of, I've never heard the term "plastidipped" for painting. On all the posts I've read on here about it, I've not seen anything actually 'dipped' ... everything has been spray painted (maybe I...

    I have been wanting to get my Droid4 suction cup car mount off the windshield and onto the dash, but I couldn't really find anywhere to actually stick the suction cup on without adding a disk to the dash. Next problem was that the center cup place on the dash has ridges, so a suction cup disk...

    Knock-off Chinese cell phones

    Some of these phones look interesting as a spare phone to buy and play with. I have no idea of the quality, but they *look* decent.
