Default AMAZING - Auction for WRX gearknob
I was looking thru some videos the other night & one of them detailed this rather horrific looking accident, where this WRX STi, was basically 'SQUASHED' between 2 semi trailors.
The driver was lucky enough to have walked away from it & decided to host this auction for the gearknob.
Before saying yeah so what - go take a lookie see at the following

that could be a selling point like Mercedes did with the A-class.
