Not sure why you are attacking directly. He definitely chooses function over form, but so do many auto enthusiasts. He has something that makes him uncomfortable such as a hard arm rest, so he figures out a logical solution. I ribbed him and so did others about his choice of materials, but it is his car and he posts his solutions to share his ideas just incase someone else out there has been trying to figure out a fix for a problem. Some car people are all about aesthetics and some are about function and driving pleasure. If his "mods" make him more comfortable in his car, so be it. I personally would never glue a hacked up mouse pad to my car, but that is just my choice.
