I like the knob very much even though it is a bit odd that it moves with entire button a little.
However, I think the most important feature of this design is that in the case of an impact your knee will not be hurt at all. For me this is crucial, and my knee would surely impact it in a crash.

I actually kind of like the nob. Good topic because it got me thinking about something I had no idea I had an interest in. As far as posting a picture of one's car, I always like to see pictures. Eleven years of college down the drain.

Trev was only flexing his sense of humour

The area of humor those testing their senses of humor on is too sensitive IMO for a public forum. IMO, it is best restricted to in-person casual yaking and kidding around--maybe in a bar or in one's home around a poker table, for example.
