WHOA! Gear-shift coat rack coolest coat rack ever
The greatest inventions in human history have often been the simplest. Like the wheel. The greatest inventions also have a way of being beyond language -- you can understand them in Uruguay or Urdu. It might not be the greatest invention ever, but the shift knob hanger rack is terribly simple and anyone who's seen the inside of a stickshift car gets it. All you have to add is a wall to hang it on and coats to hang on it. The web site selling it (either Shop Colour or USA Colour, we couldn't tell) looks to accept every form of payment known, and if you're in Japan it looks like you can get it at 7-11 and Circle K. (How come our local 7-11 doesn't carry these things?) It's about $68 at today's exchange rates. Like the ad says: Cool.

If you use your credit card to buy it, it comes with identity theft on the house

@andy
Been in the states for months? Then why does it say shipping may 10th on the website you linked too? I haven't seen it before and I welcome this article. You're like that guy on the forums who says "REPOST" at everything even though other people might not have seen it yet.

you DO know Uruguay is a country and not a language, right?

Tacky does not even jump start the list of related adjectives that can be used to describe that object.

I did a quick check of there website and couldn't find it but I know that it was in a Genuine Hotrod catalog from over 6 months ago. Wouldn't surprise me if they've been around for a couple years.

Hmm... that translates to "the car likeable cool adult hanger"
