Aw heck, I double dog dare you!

It kind of looks like some sort of left over prop from Star Trek Voyager or something...

Let me know if you ever move it forward, and William Shatner appears in front of you!

Attachment 393431

I'm hoping for 7 of 9 to appear actually.

lol..

I think that's one thing I like about it is that it looks like some sort of futuristic, mechanical, warp drive engage lever.... fits with the whole "transformers" thing I got going on.

and his mom was in line behind her eh?

why people gotta post their hate... Miraculous Mutha used to say if you don't have anything nice to say, STFU.

I was so excited to get my new shifter too, and I love how it looks and feels. Jeepfreek, nice score - now go get wifey her own RY SS to dress up.

isn't that what the shifter looked like in one of the concepts? It looks neat but yeah better put a hat on it in the summer to keep the sun off it and wear some gloves if you drive in the winter. Nice looking shifter though, hope you like it.

Would you like me to build you a flux capacitor?

And yeah, it would be nice if people would steer away from words like "horrible", and say something like; "that's nice if it makes you happy, but it just doesn't speak to me...". The fact that we personalize our cars means that things that appeal to us won't necessarily appeal to others. If you want to get an appreciation of individuality, go to a Mopar show. BORING! All you hear is "numbers matching" and "factory original". Trust me, after an afternoon of that, you'll be dying to see even a mediocre flame paint job, bolt on carbon fiber pieces, or even a weird shifter!

I got a fairly thick skin.. I assume that if someone says "it's horrible" they are expressing their tastes..

My car is an expression of MY tastes.. and that's what I love about Camaros and Jeeps.. so many choices, so many things you can do and mod..

I'm proud of my car and especially of the DIY work I've done to it since I've had it.. (which is only 3 months).

Sorry Scotty, I just couldn't resist! Once I got it in my head, I just had to post this. I truly do respect your work!

(You can punch me tomorrow when you see me...!)

LMAO..

Ever notice when Bumblebee is in robot form, he has all this "battle damage".. but when he transforms back into a car, his paint is "showroom perfect" ??

With envy · 07-03-2012, 02:13 PM

Maybe you should be the first to customize your paint to "battle damaged Bumblebee"! Bet you could win some shows with that. Or at least kid's choice like Jayhawk. I like that category. All shows should have it, as well as ladies choice.

LADYBMBLEBEE · 07-03-2012, 02:27 PM

Hey, what about my Bumblebee???? He wants a little piece of the action too!

Ladybugsmom · 07-03-2012, 03:31 PM

You didn't say if I could drive it...

J-ROD-210 · 07-03-2012, 03:54 PM

I wasn't digging the shifter ,until I saw the Camaro Concept interior. Yup,if you could the the rest that would be pretty cool. I've seen the colored gauges somewhere around,Juiced Motorsports? Maybe?
