Early christmas present

Well, we celebrated christmas at my dads the other day (23rd), and my brother made me a pretty sweet shifter ****. He fabricated it himself using a shop at his school, then had it engraved at a jewelry store. I think it came out really good and it has a cool removable top to reveal something on the inside of it.

You cant really see what it says on the inside so ill just write it. The top says "4th Generation V8 Power" (the reason i sold my third gen camaro and got a newer fbody) and the inside says "3rd Generation Soul". Its kinda a nice way to always remember my old car.....i like it.

And i know my steering wheel has issues....its on the to do list.

You could use it for a secret spot for your stash if you needed it!! Good way to do something creative with a personal touch..

Thanks for all the positive replies, I do really like it. As for the stash ill probably leave it empty (so i can read it every now and then) or stick some gas money in there....im sure ill just end up either forgetting its in there forever, or taking it out to buy something other than gas though.
