Living in Texas can have it's challenges. Such as the conversion of your nice shiny shift knob into a first rate branding iron. So I found an addition to the interior.

I like it, I did something similar after having to shift with my shoe on a couple of hot afternoons. My solution was not nearly as elegant and tasteful however :smile:

 

[Warlon]

Never tried shifting with a shoe, though I did keep a rag in the back floorboard until I found this guy.

I could use one of those for for my 3 wood!!!! :lol:

I was a furnace operator at Ford for 12 years, don't even feel it. Your shifter cozy is pretty cool though.

Go ahead, grab it, helps to produce faster shifts.
Living in Phoenix it actually feels kind of unnatural if it is not hot..

In Wisconsin, we don't have this type of problem. The only problem I have is that Dec, Jan, and Feb will see a Bullitt in Hibernation.

You also should watch out toouching it with your toounge in those months Trooper!!! :lol:

I can get wampum big hot here in California too...



I find that covering up the shift knob does two things: 1) it ruins the feel and 2) does not change the actual temperature of the knob at all. While I first thought the know temperature was from sun absorbtion, I have now come to the conclusion that it is really just the ambient temperature in the car. Fortunately it cools down after about 5-10 minutes with the A/C maxed out.



It is now just part of the "character" of the car. Something the Bullitt certainly excells at, having character.

 

[texasbullitt]

leave it to a texan to invent something useful for the heat...
should have been a longhorn though...
maybe a purple horned frog?
hmmmm is there a market out there folks?

Oh don't get me started on that *%[email protected]$( Pets.com puppet! Man am I glad they went out of business. That puppet was one of the most annoying... however, the wrist watch was a nice touch :wink:

In Texas, there's always a market for anything with a longhorn or horned frog on it. Didn't think of either of those for a shift cover.

Hmmmm...guess for the Aggies, we'd have to remove the shifter completely and put it in the ice chest with the beer. :grin: :grin:

 

[Bullitt 4508]

Maybe I'm dating myself--but "in the day" when using the ol' Hurst T-shift handle, we used an antique device called "Driving Gloves"--neat things actually. Just be sure to use both of them so you don't look like Michael Jackson. (Agent M in MIIB to all you youngsters)

 

[2k1bullitt]

My wife bought a beer bottle cozy for the shifter. It still gets hot, but nothing like it was.

 

[bullitt890]

i am thinking about replacing it with a cobra leather knob. couldn't be any worse!

HMMMMM I was just thinking the same thing ! driving glove's what a concept !!!

 

[Conrad]

I keep one of those female use 'condoms' on mine. It does nothing for the heat, but it sure is a great conversation piece!
Chicks dig Bullitts!

 

[H1RESQ]

An Oakley sunglass case works great!

 

[icdengineer]

I moved out to Cali from Tucson AZ, and I learned my lesson in my old cars, I keep a pair of nice leather driving gloves in that little leather well just below the shifter. I just hope people don't think I am an idiot wearing black leather gloves when it's July and it's 95 degrees out.

I cover my shift knob when I'm parked. I remove it when I'm actually driving...it doesn't really get hot while you're driving because the A/C is on, etc. Just remove whatever you use for a cover when you hop in to go driving.
