Looking for a unique shifter

Has anyone seen a shifter that kind of looks like the one in the right had corner of this pic? I know it's a sketch but anything that looks remotely like it would help, kind of like the throttle on a jet maybe?

I think HURST makes something like that if not contact BOMBARDIER, LEAR, or BOEING they can send you in the right direction.

I'm assuming that you do want one without the cannon and missle launch controls

If you get what's pictured, I'm staying out of YOUR neighborhood!

You may want to contact a company that does hand control conversions for the handicapped. Bet they have something like this.

Actually, back in the mid 90's, there was a company that converted PC joysticks to shifter handles. I remember reading about them in Car Craft or Hot Rod. I'd presume they didn't last long as they seem to be somewhat tacky and I don't think a plastic handle shifter will last too long.

Now it would be cool if you can get that and incorporate some gatling(sorry for poor spelling) guns that can be raised from under the hood to take out the pathetic soccer moms and idiots who like to drive far too slow in the fast lanes. Or to be used as a revenge tactic for those who tailgate in the rain... <hint hint Nathan>

That should take road rage to a whole new level

Actually, that wouldn't be too hard a conversion...you know you've already got power running to the hide-away headlights, so just replace the lights with compact uzis with some kind of belt mags, and use a servo triggered by the hi-beam switch to fire....

Okay, I have problems. I admit that. :o
