Exclamation What the hell is this
Was looking under my dash and found this next to the pedals

Isn't this supposed to be covered or something? Can someone share pics of theirs:

Looks like the steering driveshaft
Make sure to oil it but not overly as it will grease your pants spinning at high rpms

Just cover it up with some black tubing so it will hide it.
