Nah classy would be a plastic vagina. I guess I was a little red back in the day, but hey, being from North Carolina where the men are men and the barnyard animals run scared....

I got the idea for this post from reading in the compulsive mods thread about an 8 ball shifter and wondered what else people were trying.
Thought there might be some interesting shifter projects.

The one guy that was on here before, ForcedInduction, had a 9 speed shifter with Hi/Lo from a Peterbilt I think. The air switch helped control his turbo too.
