I miss that one too! And based on the number of non-functioning brake lights and single headlights out there on the road, I think that feature should be added to more cars. Maybe even retroactively...

Yeah, what's up with that? I see burned out brake lights all the time here, and sometimes I wonder if that's related to the fact that we don't have an annual safety inspection that would check that. (In Maryland you only have to have cars inspected when they are sold or when you bring a used vehicle into the state.)

I was complaining about it one day to my coworkers, and one of them was like, "I don't know how to check that my brake lights are working!" I thought, "I live alone, and all of mine are all working, and I check them regularly. You have a husband and daughter living with you, and you can't figure out how to check your brake lights?"

that one gets the . you have to love the people you work with

i check them by closing my garage door and then pressing the break, you can see the reflection of the lights on the door and you can do it every time you get in the car. it's not that hard. i must see 3-4 cars a day with one light out. it annoys the crap out of me.

I don't know about NY cows, (or really NW cows), but would say the calf poo color is ash gold. Autumn Orange is a dark firey orange. if NY calf poo is that color... wow, I think we all should avoid beef from NY.

I dunno, I love the first gen exterior, the second gen rims, def love me some booby action, 2nd gen interior EXCEPT the seats. Me loves my round headrests. And my non leather power seat... And the bulb out bulb... Gotta love that.

Are the 2nd gen rear seats better than the first? Cause ours suck.

How do they suck? I love the 99/00 rear seats except for the lack of headroom which doesn't really have anything to do with the seats.

[freednighthawk]

Because I'm skinny as all get out (6'5 and only 135lb) and sitting in them feels like I'm sinking into a little tiny black hole.

Newborn dairy calves. I don't know what beef calf poo looks like, actually.

They also suck for people with wide hips and/or fat asses. (Like my sister.) I actually thought they were quite comfortable, but I rarely got to ride in them.
