I had a set for a bit, and found they were thick enough on the sides that it was a constant battle with the seatbelt, threading it between the seat and the door armrest. I finally dumped em, too aggravating. Hope you're not having the same problems I did.

and yea it depends on which part of LA you are in, we get a lot of those too range rovers, benzes and bimmers, with their designer bags and all that, but there are normal ones as well, just harder to find

Those aren't Jersey girls--those are Bennies.

I want a nice, petite, sarcastic, loud-mouthed, big-hair South Jersey girl, in her mid 30s to mid 40s--brunettes and redheads slightly preferred.... You know where you stand with them.

The ones here in PHX are polite and smile nice, but are incredibly materialistic, fake, and shallow.

no issues on my ride to work today. seat belts seem to clear them just fine, can't really see where they can interfear with eachother really.
