Although, on the real... That wheel cover is, thankfully, discontinued. But I bet there's a Pepe Boys warehouse full of them somewhere.

And if that fails, you can always find someone on alibaba.com to make you tens of thousands of new ones!!

But seriously, man is that thing hideous. There is no reason to ever put one of those on. If your steering wheel is that trashed, I'm sure you can find a used good condition wheel in about 47 seconds of searching.

I mean, seriously, who puts a fake acura wheel wrap on? They should've stuck to the wicked Tasmanian devil one, like I have

I'll admit that the 5 or so minutes I've spent this morning looking at steering wheel covers is entirely wasted and worthless; but in actuality I did come across this gem:



So now I'm on the search for the same, but in blue or gray to match my car.

Plus, adding the short disclaimer initially of: "this is now discontinued, but does anyone know..." makes a big difference over: "Here am pikture. where am me can get! Me liking."

ok cujo, you still win the coolest steering wheel competition. I can't even compete with that.

But think of the dirt, grime, germs and everything else that would get caught in there...

There's a fine line between being a dick and reciprocating their level.

Post a screenshot asking an obvious question?

Get a screenshot with the obvious answer.

They appear to come in pink, purple, and black.

I really sort of want a set, just for that one day where it'd feel gloriously puffy in my hands while driving.

Okay. While the auction is for $15, we'll soon see if they're worth the $9 I offered.

Put some "Acra" stickers on it and see if you can get a few more dollars for it.

I put Acra decals on my brake calipers. True story.

I was hesitant about the RDX caliper covers on the rear, but, they ended up coming out really nicely. I painted them copper, along with the rear calipers.

The only thing I'd do different next time is buy brand new rear calipers (and mounting brackets) and paint them. I initially was going to sand them by hand, like I did the brembos... except the brembos don't ever rust, so they were easy peasy. The rear calipers and mounting brackets were heavily corroded. I ended up taking the die grinder to them to remove the rust. The metal was pretty pitted all over, and even with the grinder, I can only get them to look so good again. They look nice for 11 year old calipers, but my OCD is telling me I could do better... looking up caliper prices now...

I wish I was that big and lean. But I'll do absolutely nothing about it.

excuse me while I go back to eating McDonald's double cheeseburgers for the remainder of the day.

I've been grinding. Last weekend was basically recovering from travelling earlier in the week, coming home to a sick kiddo, and then trying to rock through a homework assignment due today. And then stupid work wants things to be done too. WTF?!?

Funny, I got WagonJr shouting out "get to da choppa" whenever we're loading up the truck to go somewhere. Makes me laugh each time.

At least not the whole movie, eh? Just like the first 3 minutes, 40 seconds about 4 minutes in, 20 seconds at about 8:30, then the last 90 seconds?

Hell no. I want him to be happy and successful. Even if that means doing art or something.
