Default Elbow Impression

Ok, How many of you drive with you left hand about 9 o'clock and rest your elbow on the top of the door panel?

I hate the nive little divot my elbow makes in the material.

Just curious to see how many and who notices...

the tops of the doors are so high i can't imagine that being a very comfortable arm position. as for leaving a impression, i don't think a hammer could leave one.

When cruising, my left hand is at about the 8 o'clock position and my elbow rests on the cushion below the exit button on the door. I've worried about the impression my bony elbow leaves on that...but then again the console lid leaves an impression on my right elbow, so I guess we're even.

I have done this as well. I now have trained myself not to rest my elbow on the door. Not so terrible as we should drive with both hands on the wheel anyway.
