The designer originally purposefully didn't put a clock in it; he wanted you to enjoy driving without the restraints of time. This was MY00-01, after that they added one in.

There is also no door unlock button... excess weight that wasn't neccesary.

i don't feel so bad now!

still tho, my friends pick on me about it - got a text this morning from my friend Jon (who owns an Element with a KICK ASS non-rice very tastefully done soundsystem in it, McIntosh everything practically... drooling already) - anway - simply said "get it into reverse this morning OK? No phone call so I got worried"

pisstaker.

ok good - i'm not batty.

i kinda like the whole "no clock" thing - my ride to work was great this morning, dorking out to NPR and just getting updates on the time from them.

also, good on the no unlock button thing, i'm not crazy.

it needs a wash first

completely stock (right now) so there's not much to see as far as "ooh nice bumper!"

I'll take pics after I do my best at detailing it whilst in Raleigh on the 15th

BTW - I'll be at the LTJ Bukem show on the 15th in Raleigh, staying until at least the 16th if not the 17th.
