I'm WAY ago old to be in the millennial group

Cob is a millennial?

Naw, he's just a yuppie, but he hangs out with the millennials trying to make himself feel younger during his midlife crisis.


Though he prolly does qualify for a coloring book.

I do love a good coloring book

I grew up a little bit. I color LMC Catalogs now. I color all those pretty diagrams and detail photos.

As someone who was born at the very tail end of the Millenial generation, I can empathize with the frustration that the Gen X'ers and Baby Boomers have. There are a lot of hopeless idiots my age up into their mid-thirties. I could rattle off negative adjectives until the cows come home, but there are some good ones out there. I really think that as a whole this next generation that's coming of age right now is gonna make mine look like the Greatest Generation. Social ignorance and general ineptitude in life are inevitable due to effed up social values, lack of discipline and moral upbringing, and technological influence. That's not saying that'll be all of them, but as a collective, things probably won't be so great.

^^^ That shortened quote above sums it all up in a nutshell.

I've been teaching high school shop class for 20 years. The young bucks out here ain't looking to be too stellar neither. Some good ones, but not many.

Looks pretty sharp if I do say so myself.

By no means am I putting down SEM or any other company that specializes in these types of products, but rather showing an alternative method that yields very nice results and is easy on the wallet. Also only about 25% (if that) of the panel is seen and the areas where the arm/body will contact is not on the panel itself.

Nice work

I thought I'd provide an update of how they are holding up with over a year of daily driving. Overall not too bad, most of the places where it had come off is the where the plastic itself that had turned into that chalky dust (most of the panels are like this)

The dash pad cover I also painted with the same paint, prepped the same and it has held up very well.
