It's my car. I'm driving. Everything is at my disposal and only my disposal. Don't you dare reach around and change the station while Foghat is playing. 
The only way I can envision liking it in a German Looker would be if it were going into a one-seater. Even still, everything these days is about pods, not imposing clunky fiberglass.
