I'm reminded of a saying something about fools and their money....

I've seen this at my local pharmacy about a year or 2 ago.

Well as FM is due to be shut down over the next couple of years with the push to digital I certainly don't see this doing well, not to mention the fact it is a cheap piece of junk.

Does not look that promising.

It looks Neat though, and it almost makes me want one.

Not to mention, it's shiny

95% of americans don't even drive sticks.

Joke gift? Though if I received this, even as a joke, I would be pretty irritated. Either it is going to clutter up my house, collecting dust, or I am tossing it which is irritating because I hate to waste anything. The whole thing is just a waste of everything. /end_rant.

I can just see the consumer reports pouring in of how people thought it was the real gear stick, and because of it have stalled at lights/ruined their engine/somehow driven over their neighbors pets

 

[Snipergod87]

What about the people who already own a manual transmission car... This device does not look promising in general

 

[sliem]

Where's "scan back"?

 

[wintermint]

I wonder if anyone will cut off their friend's shift stick and place that on top )

 

[chronicbint]

Too confusing for Americans I fear.

 

[meat81]

I can see this in every "ricers" car in the next few months. Of course they will be driving automatics.

A. It's not meant for cars at all. It's a simple FM radio for your home/office with a speaker onboard. Enough of the stupid car jokes, it just makes no sense and is annoying.

B. "The process of turning off the radio may please those who've driven old cars. It's a simple matter of pushing down on the stick, moving it to the left, and pulling it downwards"

Uh,it's more like putting a Volkwagon (even newer ones) in reverse.

C. If it has a line out to plug some stereo speakers into it and the price was reasonable, I think this would actually be a decent toy for those of us who listen to FM radio.

P.S. When writing the article you may wish to google before posting the price... $17.99 w/free shipping on eBay.

Is it plastic or steel. If it was "heavy" and made of steel with a nice solid underbody and a really nice tuning unit... it would probably do alright! If it's plastic... why are you even writing about it?
