Ken,

Along with the various devices etc, suggested by G. Bulley and others, you should
borrow from the aviation industry and include in the package a can of a good
brand of Cone  Spray.

It works best when applied immediately following driver recovery from White
Knuckle Fever after some miscreant  has driven the Pucker-Factor right off the
scale by cutting  in front and then putting  on the brakes to keep from ramming
the guy in front of him.

A high quality cone spray will ensure  the elimination of all ensuing cones, and
that the upholstery material  will flatten back out nicely  in the seat and will
remain in good pliable condition with no lasting wrinkles.

OK, I know it's not Friday....and I'm just funning!!
