Nothing has a Vehicle Identification Number Number.

But your aftermarket shift **** definately doesn't have a VIN.

My 10th Anniversary Skunk2 shift **** looks new out of the box still. I've had it more than a year.

Yours is either fake and the finish is rubbing off, or you've been driving with dirty hands and you need to clean it.

You don't have the shift **** we're talking about. It's not that old.

If he had a 1st gen Skunk2 shiftknob:



I could understand. They were powdercoated. I used to have one, and I wore a ring one day .... lines scratched in the coating everywhere.

Yes, they're anodized. They're a more "blue" color as well. Sort of a really dark gun-steel.

I didn't repremand him on it. I just pointed it out with the rest of my post. It just sounds uneducated in my opinion. So I point it out thinking that he (like most of the other people who use that term) probably didn't even notice what he was saying.
