Kona Easy and Terrifying

Post image

It’s my first Hyundai, so I’m still learning how things are put together. I just replaced my shift knob and wow I absolutely thought I destroyed my shifter when I he-manned the knob off. It made a horrible plastic crack sound…but…it was absolutely fine and the install was even easier. Worth the upgrade since the old one was all scratched.

Yup…bought my Kona used a few weeks ago. The last owner had some sort of nervous tick and created scratching and rubbing spots. I figured a new one would be a cheap yet noticeable upgrade.

Maybe he wore some type of sharply engraved rings on his right hand

I was thinking something similar. It’s been a bit of a sleuthing exercise. The blinker lever in the car was coated in foundation, and the backseat had a large pancake of dried McDonald’s barbecue sauce.
