For the weight saving you'd get, you'd be better off just eating less before driving.

A richbrook touring mg knob.. Longer, lighter and metal.. So it's always firm and solid, you can feel the gears shift much better.. Lol

The only down side is it does get cold... But no harm done.

By the time you buy a big bar of chocolate and put it on the passenger seat you will have undone all the work.

Weight saving is weight saving though. Imagine if he bought the big bar of chocolate and didnt lighten the knob! It would be well slow!
