Leading evidence: 'dr' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'dr' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it).

Still confused as to what is the etiquette way to using "bro" and "bruh".

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all, my third post. Been an owner of a 2001 C2 for one week now. Fixing many small issues here and there, car missed some love
So I don't know if it's just me, but my other car is an A4, had it for 8 years and kind a used to place my left elbow and the armrest while driving,.
So after first ride in the C2 that lasted 45 minutes, I came home with sore elbow. Thing is just hard plastic/vinyl.
Anybody got any upgrades done on it? Wrap in leather, put some foam under etc...?
Would love to get some input on this
Sorry bro but a 2001 C2 has a very cheap crappy interior standard. The C4S/TT or full leather optioned C2's are much more comfortable. It would cost $$$ to upgrade the interior.

Or you could find used...from a dismantler. Or a race builder - when they build, they strip all that stuff and toss it.
Idk, if it's that bad I'm sure someone can wrap it in leather or put a gel pad there or make something more comfy.
Personally as soon as I want to start and complain about my interior not being as nice as it could be is about the time my window leaks a little and the door gets a little wet, or my pipe ash goes around the dash, or I forget to put the top up as quickly as I should in rain.
I'd rather take care of the plastic on the dash than leather.
Look for a used door pocket lid on ebay. Shouldn't be too hard to find since the design is the same for 1999-2004 and you don't care about the color. Cost for that part about $100. Buy a gel pad and trim to fit the lid (probably a Dr. Scholl's shoe insert would work just fine for about $10). Get a local upholstery shop to wrap it in the closest leather they can find to match the rest of your interior. Probably going to cost another $100. Install it yourself. Out the door cost around $200.
Or, buy a matching leather covered lid and see if that alone solves the problem.
Full leather armrest is no softer, I've had both. kcattorney had a great suggestion, or you could just recover it with heavy weight vinyl or leather that has some pad to it.
Can you not just buy yourself a nice sweater that is padded and has elbow patches and a couple of John Denver CD's. Or perhaps a
one of these
and just man up! Its got to be cheaper. Love to see some pictures of what you go with in the end.

should not have your arm on the armrest anyway
Proper driving position is hands at 9 & 3 on the wheel, arms bent approx 60 - 90 deg
You can't turn the wheel properly with your elbow on the armrest
Someone will probubly now start a "Where do you put your elbow" thread
By comparison, here's a photo of the LUXURIOUS, EXTRAVAGANT interior of a 1981 911:
The 911 is a sports car. Only in the last 10 years has "sports car" been redefined as a 2-ton tank with a ridiculously over-appointed interior that adds at least 800 pounds to the curb weight.
The 996 may be somewhat spartan, but at least it doesn't look like a Scottish **** film with all of the heinous tartan prints and Cocomats of 911 interiors of the past. It's functional and spare, the way a sports car should be.
