They should make it so when you first register the ONLY thread you can access is this one. Then to gain access to the rest of the forums you have too "agree" to have read and understood the entire thread. Kind of like a "Terms and Conditions" agreement for new software!

Of course...somehow someone would still get stuck at a gas staation looking for their tank release.

Note before flaming: Yes, I searched. In the secret compartment (where else?). It's not there.
my radio was in the passenger floorboard. I had to get rid of it because everyone kept reaching into the car and trying to take it. (viva la Velcro) I just decided to get rid of it and listen to the engine. would you like it?! I would suggest mounting it under your seat though. out of view

Sure, I'd love it, thanks!

But... is there way to hook those controls up to a new radio? Has anyone ever done this?

And another thing -- I rotated the tires and now I think I may be getting some rubbing on the fender. Is that normal?

xviper - thanks for clearing up my shift pattern problem. Now, sometimes when I drive my speedo and odo are really high, other times, really low. Is this some sort of parallel universe thing...?
This is one of the mysteries of life. I don't have the time or the space required to cover this topic. However, I can tell you this:

If the speedo reads anything higher than about 5, STAY IN THE CAR!

I regret to have to inform you that you have mistaken this thread for something entirely different.

Yes, as long as you drive backwards all the time.

I drove past a highly reflective store the other day, and noticed my passenger side wheels were rotating. Does this mean I don't have to pay to have them rotated, cuz it's doing it already?

I'll take the road in the other direction tomorrow and check the drivers side and let you guys know.
