Well - I hate to show you guys up, but I think I have the most unique knob (on my Boxster) of any of us.

This is on my base 2000. The car came to me with the 8 ball shifter mounter on an aftermarket short shift kit. I'll eventually put a standard assembly back in the car and I already have a Tequipment Carbon fiber knob waiting to install. Surprisingly, the 8 ball wasn't that hard to get comfortable with.
Fortunately, the rest of my Boxsters are more traditionally equipped.
