    Does anyone have or know of where I can get one that looks like an evil pumpkin? My car has been nick named the "pumpkin" for years and I have been looking for one (or something that can be used for one) for years. Everythink I have found looks too much like a jackolantern.

    I keep stopping at all the local lawnmower shops trying to get an old aluminum piston to make a shift knob on my car. No luck so far, but one will show up one of these days!;)

    I own a fantastic devil skull from Kerry too, a very creative friend! He is a fan of Norms work too and creates his own killer skull shift knobs in his own unique style!

    Did this cane for a guy. The shift knob comes off the cane to use on his car.
