Default H-t you were right!!

(I don't know if this belongs here, so sorry to the moderator if you have to move this)

Recently I was talking **** on fellow H-T members who were spending more then fifteen dollars on a short shifter. Today is the day I Post this to show you I was flat out...Wrong...
South Jersey got slammed with a blizzard and after digging my car out four times (my si's still have falken azenises on them, I didnt check the weather and just got lazy with putting my steelies on) i broke that SOB right off immediately after I got stuck for the fifth time coming into my development. The following is pictures of my misfortunate situation...


there she is stuck




Exhibit A on why not to buy cheap short shifters..


Exhibit B on why i cant talk **** anymore



Point and case, you were right and I was wrong. Sorry...

i would never buy a non-brand name shifter from ebay. last time i was borrowing my friends crx, as i was going to put it in reverse the shifter broke, causing my hand to slip and by doing so i cut my hand pretty bad.

Whoa! A friend of mine broke one too but he was involved in a bad accident, he held onto the shifter pretty hard and it snapped on impact.
