rubber shift boots

i was thinking that is might be nicer to have a decent looking rubber shift boot than a leather one, because the rubber is just so much more practical

in a certain type of interior, mink would look pretty sweet


but, the saabs rubber is 13 years old with 259000 miles worth of shifts on it, and its in excellent shape

Different strokes for different folks. Me, I prefer the classic sports car look of leather.
