Here is something that might interest all the car freaks out there. Though changing gears and monitoring them are such a pain, it is always nice to have a gadget that might just come to use. AC Schnitzer has launched their new LCD-equipped gear shifter, which may help people because it stops people from guessing which gear the transmission is in and does the job itself. However, most people who drive a manual don’t think about what they are doing.

They just know which gear they are in and which gear they are planning to shift. Hence the new gear shifter might just look good and please your eyes, but nothing more than that. This device might be installed in BMWs and MINIs, which already look good. Hence, something that looks good may make sense even if it doesn’t have any functional value. So, in case you were wondering if you should get this LCD-equipped gear shifter by AC Schnitzer, it may not be all that useful and may just be a showpiece.
