My last 3 cars I've taken the driver's seat out, taken it apart and added extra lumbar support by putting extra material between the cushion & the springs at the leading edge of the seat bottom. Helps a lot.

EDIT: whoops, that's not lumbar! But I did lumbar too, with added stuffing between the seatback cushion & springs.

I know what you mean about sore elbows. Haven't padded the Flea's door handle (which doubles as an armrest). Oh well.
