I kept looking at the boost and trying to figure out where all that extra power was coming from. Felt like much more than different shifting.

Probably better gas mileage also!

Watch out cause she may get sideways.

I have a 93 performance tune. I did this. Pressed the traction control button twice for Advance Trac mode or something. Rev'd up the engine, let go and hammered it. Do this in a parking lot, not on a two lane tree lined road. Trust me. I bit my tongue.

Seems like a bit of a miss IMO.

Exactly why I got it. I have the one with the combo lock. It is no big deal to open.There is also about 3 or 4 inches of space between the top of the vault and the console cover. Many times I lay things like a wallet or sunglasses there.

Noticed something tonight. Might be me thinking this but it was noticeable that when lane keeping was enabled the check seat belt sound was very loud. When disabled it went quiet again. Wife was with me and noticed it too.

Manual on E-reader?

Dunno about the rest of you, but my 73-year-old eyes ache from trying to read that manual! So I found a PDF copy of it (free) via Google search, downloaded it to my laptop, and used another free program called Calibre to load it into the Kindle app on my tablet. Had to play with it a little, nothing fancy, but it now works fine.
One of the neater functions of this is that I can increase the font size so I can read it!
Same thing works for Nook and other e-readers.

Then I got to wondering -- I never checked to see if something like that already existed.

O well, it works well for me!
