This. Plus for me at least the e-brake stick works well as a wrist-rest kind of thing. Sure it's not as comfy as a real arm rest but it's good enough (I thought when buying my car earlier this year that I'd need a real arm rest).

I do the exact same thing in my car. I was looking at armrests before I got the car but now I have no desire to get one

Do you drive with both hands on the wheel ALL the time? (A serious question)

Nope, I've got the other one with gears and the knob and the extra pedal. I put an armrest in mine after a long road trip. I went with the EUDM 86 armrest. Its so nice and its for good storage.

Stock suspenion is fine, suspension on mine is still 100% stock after over 5 years of having it. Things I would recommend for better driving feel/ride quality are changing out the steering rack bushings to solid Delrin pieces, more solid/denser motor mounts, and a good solid strut tower bar like the Grimmspeed. Other thing I really like are lighter 17x7.5 +40mm wheels with lighter and higher performance 205/45-17 tires, much more lively, precise, and fun than stock.

After reading everything one can find, I wouldn't waste time/money with anything else other than following two. I am glad I didn't do anything other than a cheap K&N filter and I am still thinking if it did anything useful.

Good on you. I was paying attention to how I hold the wheel today on the highway. Left leg bent, left arm resting on said leg and was holding the wheel with a thumb and forefinger. Alternately, steering with my wrist.
In town, one hand on the wheel and one on the shifter. I did look around and there is a good number of people driving with two hands. I'd say about half. I've never really paid attention before. |
