damn, if i was paying 75k for a shift knob i'd at least want it to look like it cost 75k - that thing is indistinguishable for a chunk of aluminium or steel. a great sodding diamond would be all class, but that thing is just dull.

You would need an armed guard to watch you knob every time you parked.

As long as she's female, she can watch my knob whenever she likes.

You'd be a knob if you actually bought that.

Probably be cheaper to buy the Platinum yourself, melt it, and make your own damn shift knob.

40ct diamond would be more impressive.

You know what that shifter is good for? When someone is riding in your car, you can point to it and say: "I paid $75,000 dollars for that shifter alone!"
I can see how it could be useful. Hell, it might be better to price it at $150,000, because then it would be twice as cool.

It's such a shame that Big Ass Diamonds closed down. They made monstrosities that would be perfect for a blinged-out shift knob. OK, so they used cubic zirconium, but hey; it would have looked the part anyway.

It worries me that people have game consoles in the car, period (folks can't drive worth a crap without all the distraction). What in the heck are you supposed to do with more than one?
As far as the shift knob goes, it better drive my a** around like a chauffeur for that much money.

I can see why it is so expensive if it indeed comes with a certificate that says it is the only one ever made But other than that, its ridiculous. You need a 400,000 USD car to be worthy of installing that thing. And I agree, it doesn't even look special...

Q: Platnum or not, don't you think $75k is rediculous even if it is the only one?
For $75,000, I'd think they could spell "ridiculous" correctly.

Let me see. My reaction is...
DOUBLE U TEE EFF!
What would be the point of having a big honkin' chunk of platinum as a shift knob? It would get all grimy and gooey with hand contact-particularly in the tricked-out Vega I've been eyeing...

You should really clean your knob off after you've had "hand contact" with it and made it all "gooey."

Or for that matter, "platinum"?
