i think its a waste putting money into what a $1500 cavalier looks like... its not going to be worth money.....
the money he spent on that shift knob could of bought more oil, or a new oil filter.
you don't need to be thought to drive stick... its self explanatory....nobody taught me...
and its not spray painted yet..... i gotta wait till spring....
i am gone from this forum

The darn boot keeps slipping off the shifter though, thinking I may shorten mine too to stop that from happening.

Obviously you don't need to know how to spell or punctuate to drive stick either

No... you're stupid because you put 'to' instead of 'too'! Sorry, I couldn't resist

It's called a hobby, you don't do things just because they're worth the money...
OT - Just when I think the OP can't do anything else lol. It's not recommended to manually shift an auto tranny and like most everyone else has said, the boot is for aesthetics, couldn't imagine swapping mine back...

you think its a waste and others don't. I have the money that i can dump into my car knowing i won't get the majority of it back, i could care less. its won tons of awards, gotten free parts thru sponsorships and won several hundred dollars with it at shows. if you are that worried about getting yoru money back then yeah maybe you shoulnd't mod your car. but tehre are those of us out there that have the money to do it and ejoy it.
not to mention i could show you stock automatic cars straight from the factory that had the shift boot on them. its purely aesthetics to hide the big ugly rod sticking up.

Great job on getting defensive over a joke, you said " I don't know where you got we will played from", so I explained it, and you got offended. Your grammar was corrected once and you laughed it off, I point out that your response also had mistakes and you get defensive. What I said was a joke, hence the smiley face.
Example of a joke: wright =/= write

"'ll = will, I'll = I will, we'll = we will... your apostophes were unnecesary..."
i see no smiley face. you finished?
btw there's are R in apostrophes, and 2 S's in unnecessary....but who's counting
I think most people are just lazy I drive my manual all day everyday in bull@!#$ traffic and its really not that bad/hard, people are just too lazy. IMO Manual> auto. not to mention I actually dont like getting bored driving my car.

Dang somebody is getting mad over here!
And to the guy about me not knowing how to handle a stick,
I worked for a dealership and have driven every single make and model out there.
The bad boys I like the most were the EVO and WRX, the only one I was afraid to really drive was this GTO with a true short shifter in the was so low and stiff that you could bearly tell it is in gear!
But trust me I have been there and done that and at the end of the day, yeah shifting gears is fun and maybe a little more control over the engine, but when you work all day long and drive awhile home its easier to just put in gear and go!

AMEN !!!! I don't have alot of cash to play with between bills and my kids but modding my car is a hobby...keeps me sane....I love doing mods and such when the cash is in.....I will never get what I have in the car as for labor and parts but so what..It's all part of the game....I prefer a manual because I like my car to shift when I want it too plus an auto is boing to me in these cars..not that i think they suck but just a preference....

so when can we expect a post about you trying to modify the transmission out of a snow blower to put into your car as a cheap way around doing it correctly?
Hmmm, maybe a self propelled lawn mower would be a better option.

I blow my knee out how do I get to therapy now????
I have a 5speed love it to death but makes sure I have an auto car in the drive just in case I screw up my knee again. There are needs for both styles of car and not just because your lazy.
well It all comes down to personal preference, I Prefer stick over an auto and I have even owned an ls 4 dr a/t and I will never go back to that. No offense to anyone at all but Its seriously dissapointing to see so many nice cavs just to see two pedals its almost like a facepalm.

I guess it comes down to what the owner likes. In my case, a nice automatic ls sport got to me first, so that's what I have.
I often wish I had a manual transmission to keep it interesting, but I really enjoy what I've got.
