But no, not doing what you have unless I get the furry dice too.
If you steam that area chances are most of the wrinkles will disappear and fill right back in... very slowly move a handheld steamer up-and-down on the area and you'll see the wrinkles disappear.

Might have to give that a try. Just so happen to have a hand held steamer

OMG you guys.

Besides, you should be driving with both hands on the wheel. No elbow on console.

I also bring my laundry with me so I can press a shirt or two. Might as well kill two birds with one stone, I say.

I have little girl arms, which explains why I don't have dents on the arm rest.
