Wish they were in more cars. It makes no sense for FF, automatic, everything-by-wire cars to have floor shifters and consoles. Column shifters free up space and add legroom. 10/10 imo

Column shifters are important for Hollywood-like, overly dramatic departures if you want to fag out this way

They have no place in modern cars. New escalade has it. Its fucking stupid. The tiptronic control is a plus/minus button on the column shifter. Fucking retarded.

I actually prefer them over these idiotic looking knobs some cars have as autotragic shif- ... program choosing knob?

Those look like knobs of a washing machine and do not belong in cars.

>>14249612
They're great if you have a front bench seat. My truck has a front bench seat and a floor shift 5spd and it makes the bench seat fucking pointless. Literally the only way anyone can sit in the middle is to sit damn near sideways with both legs in the passenger foot well with the other passenger, which gets uncomfortable after 5 minutes.

>you will never have a square body Suburban with 3 rows of bench seats and a column shifter to carry 8 of your bros with.

That's not a column shifter you fucking dummy. That's an automatic gear selector.

It's not rightly a column shifter without a clutch you goon.

M8, I was highlighting how the majority of cars today employ these systems and therefore don't need floor shifters, not that I want or drive such a vehicle.

you're not a real portable gaming patrician until you start lugging around a Sega Nomad.

I have one in my truck.

And in my work truck.

I think it's so you can have a bench seat.

Idk what's to hate about em? If it was a manual I would prefer a standard gear stick

But if the wiper stalk is on the left, where will you put the indicator/lights stalk?
>>
>>14251201

On my Pontiac, the wiper stalk also does turn signals. The headlights have the automatic sensor on the dash, so I never need to turn them on manually. There's a knob on the dash if I really want to turn on the headlights on my own.
>>
>>14251201
>>14251201
That is the turn signal stalk bro. Still pulls back to flash the high beams, forward to lock the high beams, up & down to operate the turn signals. Rotate the end piece to control the wipers.

Headlights are on the rotary switch on the dash to the left of the column.

Ezpz

Is it that hard to understand?

On my fairmont, the column shifter is on the right and there are two separate stalks right beside each other on the left

If its an auto i much prefer the shifter be on the column. If the shifter is on the floor it better be a manual

OP, is that a 2000ish Crown Vic? Not a P71 cause no certified calibration, but could be a P70.
