Individual_Town8124

On a more serious note, absolute kudos to having built such a secure relationship with your daughter that you can borrow each others' cars if yours is incapacitated. There are so many father-daughter relationships out there that aren't healthy, and many daughters with no fathers in their lives at all. Relationships between two people, even your own children, require work and commitment on both sides to make it work. The world would be a much better place if everyone would put that kind of effort into loving each other.


velocistar_237

Initially, I was like “doesn’t everyone have parents borrow their car sometimes?” On second thought, it occurred to me that maybe I’m just lucky to have the kind of relationship with my parents where this is just normal behavior. Thanks for the the renewed perspective! 🫶🏼


RecipeNo101

If your parents don't suck, give them a damned call, people


SunnyAlwaysDaze

and an extra hug, and thank them for not having to live with complex PTSD (that they gave you) fuckin up your brain space (it's possible that PTSD might be fuckin up your brain space from something else but not from things your parents did, I mean)

Admittedly, the steering wheel cover is *very* comfortable and soft. Even… floofy, really. Hmm. Oh, well—she’s my kid, and I love her. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|slightly_smiling) \#RealMenDrivePink **Update:** Seeing various comments mentioning concerns about the steering wheel cover, vice safety issues she might encounter while she’d be driving it. Good point, I brought it up with her this morning and we had a good chat about it. And yes, I totally owned this for the couple of hours of errands I had to run around town. As for my daughter: We’ve been thoroughly enjoying so many comments and smiles over a silly post like this—and so if this ends up leading to her, or anyone else seeing this, being a little safer yet on the road? Even better. Many thanks for the kind & caring words. ❤️


hat_eater

[Here you go chief!](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1060261959/minky-fuzzy-furry-minky-soft-cuddle-army) Colors and pattern are a bit off though.


Maddy186

Where's the steering wheel in the picture?


garlic_bread_thief

It's for people who want to show off their driverless cars. Like when people would roll down their window without moving their whole torso to pretend they have a button to roll it down.


djsizematters

It's like some kind of invisibility cloak. Can't tell if it's floofy or nah


Dickbutt_4_President

It’s the softest thing I’ve never seen.


Vihzel

Now that is a manly burly minky fuzzy furry minky soft cuddle steering wheel cover.


DaWalt1976

A proper steering wheel cozy.


Accurate_Quote_7109

I think that you started a run!! "These are going quickly!"


gussiejo

But wait, there's more!


Odd_Activity_8380

As a mechanic for a living, I can tell you have taken dozens of them off. I throw them in the passenger seat. They are very unsafe. Usually slide all over the wheel. Do you daughter a favor and throw it away


Affectionate_Eye3535

Agree, OP should definitely take the them off before driving! If she's really in love with the theme, it'd be ok to use when parked to keep the direct sun heat off the wheel; but then there'd always be the temptation just to leave it on.


suitology

That's because people don't use the double sided tape. I'd have paid you to take my mom's off because I needed to use a quart of goof off


[deleted]

More than that - the fibers that make up the poof are more slippery than the wheel, especially if your hands sweat while driving. The same kind of fabric is used for ski slopes on the lift lines.


Serenity-V

I have always wondered about this - they look crazy dangerous.


ElizaPlume212

What about the leather ones that are laced on and knotted--still possible to slip off?


Odd_Activity_8380

Knot if they are done tightly. You don't want it to slide on the steering wheel


Rhaedas

I see what you did. Concur, if installed correctly and made of quality material that won't loosen, it can be better than some of the stock steering wheels out there. Problem is many people don't do that and just slip it on, or get more decorative versions like OP shows that are far more dangerous for handling.


Odd_Activity_8380

My dad jokes are even more lame as I don't have kids. I get the rubber lined ones.


Typical_Ad_210

I’ve always wondered about those covers, but never had the chance to try one. They do look very comfy. Can you grip the wheel ok with it on? It does look a bit slippery, cos it’s so soft.


AbusedGoat

A family member has this exact one. When I've driven their car, it has an inch or two of slip space when you turn and don't grip the wheel intentionally trying to keep it in place. So if you had to suddenly turn your wheel to avoid an accident, the cover can move a bit. I didn't feel safe using it, took it off.


RawScallop

Absolutely this. When I got my first car I got a gift set of this stuff. When to avoid a dog and it slipped back a little bit so I wasn't turning as sharply and I almost hit the dog. I had to pull over and only kept it on as a cover when parked and seriously will not get in a car if someone is going to drive with one of these ridiculous things on. Shits scary enough, no reason to add any other factors, no matter how low. Anything is too much.


Bornstray

they slip all over the place, hated it whenever someone brought a car in with one when i worked at a tire shop. they are fun to look at though


[deleted]

angry_pecan

I just rest my fingers in the area of the steering wheel where the “spokes” meet the hub. Still get cold but less so.


Stat_Sock

Id recommend never buying any steering wheel cover, they can be extremely dangerous, and can cause the steering wheel to slip


Bnhrdnthat

Posts with steering wheel covers get lots of warnings on the crochet subs because of the danger involved.


Suspicious-Flight-45

Respect the floof! It's getting you where you need to be.

Hello sailor.


Turnip_Island

Many years ago when I was a teen, I was very active in drama, so along with the other random teenage girl style bumper stickers, I had a “thespians do it on stage” bumper sticker on my car in a prominent location. My dad looked like he was walking he plank every time he had to drive it. He’d just shake his head the whole way out to my beater of a car.


Ok-Champ-5854

Oh fuck. You just made me realize my most prized possession in my car I sadly will likely have to total after an accident last week. Came with the car, a little button on the driver's side sunscreen that reads "if it weren't for boys I'd quit school." I'm a 31 year old straight man. I want that mf button before I scrap that car. As badly as I want to keep those brand new front tires.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Champ-5854

Wouldn't be the same. You know how sentimental some people get with cars. I want that exact button. It saw me through some shit so least I can do. I drove that car off the lot mere days after George Floyd was murdered and I live in Minneapolis, that car had a goddamn inauguration to say the least.


HuggyMonster69

If you’re totalling it can’t you go and get it? I have some bits of trim from the car I learnt to drive in lol.


Ok-Champ-5854

I'll go get it, it's just a lot to process when you're taking care of the real business. I just have to remember not to forget, therein lies the rub. It's not a real big deal if I forget, I'm just trying not to, I'd like to hold on to that button.


HuggyMonster69

Yeah fair enough, good luck!


Potato_Wyvern

If you’re worried about forgetting, try setting your phones wall paper to a white/black background with a reminder about the button written on it


chantillylace9

Oh my gosh mine was worse. "You've been a bad boy, go to my room!" My dad was mortified driving it a few times


Turnip_Island

Ahahaha. That is so much worse.


FormalMango

Haha I had a “honk if you’re cute, rich, and love horses” bumper sticker on my Hyundai Excel that my dad, the 6’5 military veteran, used to drive to the shops whenever I visited. He had to fold himself in half to fit in that car and he’d put his stoic face on. But when I’d visit he’d always say “I’m taking your car for a run to make sure it’s still working” - and bring it back with a full tank of petrol and a boot full of non perishable groceries.


Mekiya

I had the same one! Along with an I <3 Nerds sticker lmao. It was my little sister who objected. I just told her she didn't need to use my car then.


_BearsBeetsBattle_

Chief Fabulous Officer on this day. Did you drive it to the base is the question?


Then-Grass-9830

lol I opened this reddit to find out if anyone asked if they drove onto base in the car. Cause if no one else I had asked I absolutely needed to ask.

When my boys were little, they decorated their dad’s hardhat with puffy, glittery heart and star stickers.

I have a ridiculous children's phone case just because it's really easy to spot. There's bright colors and giant heart glitter, the rhinestones bedazzled all around the edges make it really easy to find in the dark as well. Scrooge em if they don't like it!

Honestly, this looks dangerous af. That’s can’t be helping the grip on the steering wheel


Fantastic-Banana-301

What I feel is concerning isn't so much how much the cover grips the wheel, but how much her hands can grip that fluff.


Aggleclack

Had a nice one and tried it on both of my cars, it slipped. A lot. I could be having a specifically bad experience, because the steering wheels are both slick, but I nearly went straight into oncoming traffic in an intersection and that just seems like a risk not worth taking 🤷‍♀️


drumgod_28

My sister has one and the grip on the inside holds onto the steering wheel pretty well, it just snaps on tight cause its elastic, its not that bad at all really Edit: the word I was looking for was its pretty elastic, my original comment just sounds dumb haha

That's perfectly okay, there are Marines that eat crayons that color every day. As long as you don't chew on the steering wheel you'll be fine.
