[Shotimes] Gen4 seats in a Gen1

[Carl Prochilo]

I alway tend to overlook this little feature when I describe some of the
nicer attributes of our cars, like the 2 layer sun visor, or the auto-lamp
system (that my mother-on-law's Mercedes E430 doesn't even have!!!).

I've wondered how many people don't even realize their headrests swivel.
Really one of my favorite items in the cabin.  I always keep them tilted
completely forward so I can get better head support.

Cheers,
Carl Prochilo
