Since it's Earth Month, I figure I should share a "recycling" story. When we bought our 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole it came with these snazzy sheepskin seat covers. But the covers were then promptly ejected from the car and lived in our supply closet for many moons until Managing Editor Donna DeRosa and I decided to make good use of them. We put them on our desk chairs to make sitting at our desks a little cozier...
And it worked. I LOVE my sheepskin covered desk chair! Problem is, I now find it hard to concentrate. So cozy, I just want to take a nap.

I love my sheepskin seat. It's almost as good as heated car seats.

Saving mother earth, one sheep at a time.

They sure look real comfortable, but I think I would feel like a pimp if I was driving around town with a set of those in my car. All I would need is a set of big fuzzy dice for my rearview mirror.
Why did you guys take them out of the Ferrari?

I don't know about snazzy, maybe tacky.
They do feel good, nonetheless.

I think every used 80's sports car had them at one point :D
My 944 had them when I bought it. When I was a kid, so did my dads 930. When a buddy picked up an E30 M3 a few years ago, he had to peel the things outta there, too.
Autozone bling :D

People used them to keep leather seats bearable. Prevented you from freezing you butt off in the winter and sweating it off in the summer.
I guess they just suffer now.

We took these out of the Ferrari 4.5 seconds after it got to the office.

^LOL
You decided to take them out faster than the Ferrari can go from 0 to 60 mph.
