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...

That's about the only legit excuse you have, Mr. 1320, because I know your not completely inept. Although, I must admit that there was one time I wished I had one. Was trying to back the first trailer up to a con gear at about 4 AM. Yes, I was quite tired by then, and yes it was dark, so I...

Ouch! Sure glad I'm not there. After years of trying to get my Pete registered as an RV in CA, which is all I used it for and it was insured as, I finally got smart and registered it as a historical vehicle. That lowered the registration from some $1,600 per year to $40.

I dunno, Magnified. As it is, if it was a crew cab I could leave it in gear, take a long leak, and still have to wait for that second door to line up. Is it the gearing, the lack of too many doors, or just me?

Thankfully they are not. When I went to register mine (in CA) they wanted to pin it with the "truck" label, which of course is much more expensive than a car is. When asked if it had a back seat I could honestly tell them it did. One of the very few things it did have. Either way, a car you put...

Okay, I obviously worry too much. Taking the last stuff off was easy, and nothing went wrong. So I now have a sport truck that'll do 187 feet per hour in the lowest gear, floored. All I need to do now is figure out what to do with it.

If I can see anything in my mirrors (other than when backing into the garage), it's too close. Basically, it means that I've been driving too slowly.

Yeah, I can certainly see how it would ruin your track day. To me, if the screen died I'd miss seeing what the oil temp is. That's because I want to make sure it's warm before I step on it, but by now I have largely learned how long it takes, at different ambient temps. Backup camera? I have...

Indeed I did. Not even ChargerChallenger has one of those. At least I don't think he does. See, he's going for quality, I'm into quantity. The more vehicles, the merrier. Of course, I've spent the last few days removing the accoutrements from that machine, and today I'll attempt to remove the...
