At the base of the shift lever outer shell slice the rubber where it meets the shell inward using a razor ~ 1/16 inch. This is so that when you remove the outer shell the lower rubber flap stays behind. Mark the shell the amount that you want to remove. I used a Rigid #20 pipe cutter to do this.
Hickenlooper was viewed as a possible contender for Governor of Colorado in the November 2006 election to replace term-limited Republican Governor Bill Owens. Despite a Draft Hick campaign, he officially announced on February 6, 2006 that he would not seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
You technically don't give up your current position while running for President. Texas is one of the states that elects their governor in the off-year.. Thus, Governor Perry's term does not expire until January 2015. So if Perry is not elected President, he stays governor. For those with terms expiring in January 2013, it depends upon state law. Some states allow candidates to run for both President (or Vice-President) or another office. The technical justification for this is that the voters are actually electing a slate of electors rather than the President so the candidate is not actually running for two offices at the same time.
