I say we each give a dollar and hire someone to "show" how a shoulder can accidentally hit the shifter.

jimjaix,
There is a way to avoid accidental shift from D -> N. Just set it at the Sport-shift mode (move it to the left) and leaving the gear setting at 6. From what I observe, there is no difference in driving comparing to setting at D. That way, if you or your gf accidental move the **** in either direction, at most is that you downshift to 5th gear which is still fine in freeway driving.

Leaving your hand on the shifter is a bad habit with any transmission, but especially with a manual tranny. With a manual shifter, resting your hand on the shifter puts unnecessary force on the internals of the tranny that increases wear.
