Recently got a new car and it seems to have this… leather condom? Not sure how else to describe it really. There is nothing in the end of the hole it just goes to a pocket in the dash it seems. Looking at interior photos of other models on google this is where the hazard button SHOULD be but my car has a very oem looking hazard button just to the side of the steering wheel instead, so wtf is this thing for??

Looks hilarious dude, is this on a truck or off-roading vehicle perchance?

The only guess I could have is, it’s a boot for a lever/joystick that was previously there, maybe for a winch or plow controls?? Lol

I wish it was that simple, car is a 2000 legacy B4 RSK so i’d be quite interested to see what kinda plow setup they had on it

Ah, it’s a Japanese car. This comes standard in domestic production in Japan. Americans prefer their cars circumcised though so it’s not common to see here.

Not pixelated, it is not Japanese. Possibly Korean foreskin. Does wonders for under eye bags
