Cheap Resourceful driver puts the stick in his stick-shift

Fresh from the car-web circuit is this picture taken of a decidedly low-tech and low-profile retrofit for an apparently missing or broken gear-shift leaver.

Without knowing exactly what kind of car this was, we'd speculate from the picture that it's a 90's-era pick-up truck, either American or Japanese. Either way, it sounds so much better the way our Spanish colleagues at Motorpasion called it: "Palanca de cambio modelo rustico".
