Let’s face it, car upholstery has had its ups (any Mercedes before 1975) and its downs (Levi’s Edition Gremlin, anyone?). But lately, it just seems like we’re settling for way less than our fat asses deserve, especially when there’s companies like VIP European Auto Interior that offer upholstery replacements that make your car look as good as new.

I don’t care how many dalmatians it takes, that’s guy’s a dude! (relax PETA, that’s cowhide and I ate every single one of those steaks so it’s ok)
But sometimes you should just opt for the factory-installed pleather and call it a day or else you’ll end up in undeniable, inescapable, douche-dom (cue: ominous music):
“Oh no he didn’t” says Christopher!
