The center armrest does not have enough stuffing/foam whatever it is they put in there...mine has a small spot which is now hard. Its where the soft stuff wore in or just got displaced by my elbow always resting on it. Really not that big of a deal...Also, OEM tires with low thread rating.

It did it on my accord so I'm used to it. What sucks tho is when I just finished washing my car and go to put my supplies in the trunk, the second I open the trunk water spits out all over the place and I have to re-dry the backside.

I don't have memory seats, because i figure i was the only driver of the car. I am annoyed that when the valets and lexus techs take my car, they move the seats quite dramatically. I don't sit in a ridiculous position or anything. Why can't they just leave my seat alone? My seat position is doable on a short drive for anybody between 5'5" and 6'0". Don't move it!

Remember don't drink and drive! You might hit a bump and spill your drink!

There's a super simple solution to your problem... pull the plug under the seat! It won't ever get moved...
