Dirty shift knob

First off, i do know this seems like a very random thread but its not like its the only one on here lol. I was playing around with the macro setting on my digi cam while in my car and took a macro shot of my shifter. Once i uploaded the photo to the pc, i seen the picture and how dirty the shift knob really is lol

In person when you look at it, it looks nice and clean, then when you look at this photo u think otherwise

Next time you get it serviced take one of your socks off and slip it on the shifter. Make sure one of the mechanics sees you take it off of your foot and put it on.

The wedding band is supposed to be on your left hand. That's not to say guys don't wear rings on their right hand, but it's not because they are married

Okay, oops. The photo was blocked at school (they block photobucket) so I thought it just looked grainy. The higher the ISO the grainier it will be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed
