Elbow Pads?

[Fastlane68]

After driving my Magnum for over 200 miles I've noticed one thing about the comfortable interior. The seats are nice but both the center console and the arm rest don't have pads, just plastic shelves on which to rest your elbows. My elbow is starting to get sore. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I've noticed this as well on the 300's. Hasn't anyone come up with a leather pad for the arm rest and console that looks like it belongs there and protects your elbow?

matter of fact, this has been tackled already! the link to the information you require is in this thread:

(did a search for "leather AND armrest" after remembering the thread..)

Also keeping your hands at 9 and 3 on the wheel prevents you FROM getting sore elbows FROM the centre console.

I took a driving course operated by police and they actually told us tat studies have shown that the 4 and 8 oclock positions prevent fatigue like the 9 and 3 cause and still retain same amount of control...

Fact is that I used to be right hand dominant and was no good at using my left hand for driving until I had a truck with a manual, then it all changed.

i usually drive with my right knee at 7, left hand holding the phone, right hand doing the crosswords..

but serously 9 and 3 doesn't cause much fatigue for me, hooking my thumbs over the spokes when i'm not using the wheel controls takes a lot of the strain off..

Here's something odd. I don't know if it is related to the topic of this thread or not.

Among other injuries, I broke both of my shoulders in an accident last May (a pickup ran over me while I was sitting on my Honda Valkyrie at a stoplight). The shoulders are the kind of break that the doctors really can't do anything about, except take x-rays every couple of months and go: "Yup, they are still healing, but they've still got a ways to go". Oh well, at least my shoulders have healed to the point where unless I do something to aggravate them, they don't really hurt anymore (a major improvement over the first couple of months).

The odd thing, is that I've started noticing that my shoulders will ache any time I have spent any significant time behind the wheel of my new RT!?!? Whether I simply didn't spend enough time driving my old car after the accident, to notice the same problem, or whether the problem is related to the seating position of the new car, I don't know. I have started playing around more with the seat controls to see if I can figure something out.

How hard are you going around corners and shaking you fist at slo-mo drivers?
