Hey, I was trying to go easy on poor B5QuattroPorte here. Of course I know that installing the meter, roof sign, divider, and such, takes a bit of extra time. Just wasn't about to go there quite yet, okay?

Well, yes, that is normal procedure. No different than when I buy a vehicle from farther away and the paperwork is handled through emails and FedEx.

If it shows up unannounced, have the dealer transport it to your house.

"101 reasons not to tow with a 1/2-ton".

It's inflation. Each hp isn't worth as much as it used to be.

But did they guess what year, too?

Yeah, that was my initial thought, too, but after looking at the details I ruled out the Land Cruiser.

That was my guess, based on the windows, door handles, and mirrors.

Ah, I knew there was a reason I haven't driven the 'Hawk much. Since it has a smaller screen, maybe I only have to wait six months before I can stomach it?

Aw, c'mon. We all know that it's the excessive amount of doors.

Not if you buy my "pre-owned" 'Hawk. (Shameless plug, huh?)

You left out that they had to turn the lights and wipers on and off themselves, too. The horror. But seriously, not having Jake brakes must've been a thrill and a half.

Yeah, the discharge situation sucks. But as mentioned, if I could just have an oil temp gauge, the rest of the touch screen could go in the dumpster. Funny that you mention the seat coolers, though. I got stopped by road work two years ago, so there I sat, able to play with the touch screen for...

Hey, @Stormtrooper1320, I just had an idea. I"ll add one more item to your curb feeler Christmas gift package; a backup alarm. Yeah, the kind that they have on dump trucks and other machinery. By having one of those beeping at 110 dB as soon as you put your car in Reverse, you'll be much...

Indeed! It's amazing what eliminating two doors can do for a vehicle.

Hey, at least most of them are a (minority) voice of reason in this goofed up world.

Sure is. So I'm back up to six again. But this is the first civilian one I've owned.

Thank you.

I think I may have thought of a reasonable facsimile. I'll tape a photo of the innards of my garage to the dash, then look at it instead of in the mirrors.

If going by those uber safe standards, I shouldn't even be driving mine. At least not the way I drive, and where. Usually I don't bring a spare (or a jack and such), so even a flat tire could leave me stranded for many hours, and that's without cell service for the most part. If I ended up...
