That's what warranties are for

Me too!

Crank windows, manual locks, washable floor. It's what a truck should be.

When I step on the brakes, it stops. Instead of giving me a dashboard display that says "Error 3583. If this error persists, contact your vendor." But then, I have an oldish car, not state of the art.

I rented a ford Escape this weekend. It had cupholders with a little laser eye thing. As far as i coudl tell, it reads the temperature of thatwever you put int he cupholder. If it is cold, cupholder gets cold. If hot cupholder gets warm. If neither cupholder does nothing. If that is really what it does, that is a really neat feature. i could nto tell for certain. Maybe the cold or hot drink just changed the cupholder temp really fast, but that sure seemed like what it does.


Two things I find hard to get along without - cup holders and lighter plugs. I also cannto stand long time in a car without a sunroof. Just a clostrophobia thing I guess, not realyl sure why. I really like 6 way electric seats. A rear defroster is pretty important to me. Compass and outdoor temp in the mirror is great.

I do not care about electric windows and door locks, adjustable pedals and steering wheel, adjustable lumbar pllow in the seat, climate control HVAC, or automatic transissions. Those are all things I woudl just as soon do wthout.

maybe I said this already, better go back and look

I think this is part of the accent lighting in the car. I have a focus that has the same lights on the cupholders.

Turbo, five-speed manual and AWD, that's enough features for me!
