My new wheels
:eek:

My 11yo windstar is in the shop so they gave me this!
Doesn't quite feel "me".......
How's the instrument cluster?
Well if limey'd just get that goddam :tuba: out of my rear view it would all be OK.....
Um, I managed to turn the radio on. And note the mileage. And start it twice (the rental chick seemed to think I should be orgasming over the push-button start malarkey). She's all "you're going to have so much fun driving this" -it's a blooming tank!

Not the same car, but .... still
Hey that was my rental before the Ford Flex!
Monster, remember this: the fuel door button is on the bottom of the driver's side door.
I drove it for 300 miles and turned it over to J. She found, what I didn't find in all that time, some radio controls are behind your hands on the steering wheel.
Popdigr bought another Grand Cherokee a month or so ago, and, whaddya know, stereo controls on the back of the steering wheel.
Guess we ought to look at other cars more often than every fifteen yrs or so.
ETA: Anybody know where ya can download vehicle owner's manuals (I've tried googling)? The local junkyard wants $25 for a not-gently-used one!
My 99 Laredo had them, my 06 Commander has them. Nissan puts them on the front... the back is better... I sometimes hit the source button when turning the steering wheel in a nissan...
you know what's REALLY cool about the commander? Rain Sense wipers! They know when it's raining, and come on accordingly.
what manual are you looking for digr?
I need a 2006 New Beetle 2.5 'vertible manual. ;)
NEVERMIND.
thought I found one. just links to the OBDII tables
That should get you a few tickets for speeding.

Oh yeah, i picked it up empty, we had to fill in a hurry before swim practice and the play tonight, and for a minute I couldn't remember where it was...... this is the most ridiculous car ever. the interior is black, it' slike cruising around in a coffin.

hm will look at that. for now, on and off has been working fine....
oh, just tried out the acceleration on the freeway ramp. It was kinda smoothe and fast. Shut the boys up for a second or two :D
I bet. That thing rocks. Great purchase btw.
it's a rental, tailpostman
Might want to repost that pic with the plate numbers blocked out as the person with the right connections could easily find out a lot of personal info about you.
^^^^WHS
It's a loaner/rental. the van is in the shop with a rusted out subframe (recall repair)
Cool. Well that should make a huge difference in finding you. Love the Rental btw.
Why? Because I was trying to look out for you or because I thought your rental was your new car or because I thought it was cool? Your turn.... GO!
Please make sure the boys (including Beest) get seen cruising around in that. It would add coolness points, which leads to social respect, improved self-efficacy, and better grades.

How about because it proves you don't bother reading other people's posts before responding? Not even the OP.
and because you think I'd be stupid enough to post my licence plate. That's wouldn't be SMRT
If you were evenly partly attentive you'd see I was not in Illinois
<<<<hint
and if you cared, you'd probably remember I have vanity plates on my vehicles.
That was all about you, nothing else. [COLOR="Silver"] Here look at me, I'm so rich I can talk with authority about a nice car and even be patronizingly caring. Aren't i awesome. Did I tell you I'm loaded, by the way. It's time we talked more about me and my expensive vacation......[/COLOR]yawn
Yeah but he still finds the time to denigrate Ibs for his supposed
Rich Parents. It's priceless really - the mind bending hypocrisy
merc engages in. Very twisty-turny. No wonder he's pissed off.
And then the required "Hey, that is cool! Good for you (insert dwellar he is trying to ingratiate himself to)! lest we don't get to hear what a really great guy he is.
We went to the school for a play, in the parking lot on the way out when another parent saw monser getting into it she said "that it is the least thing I ever thought I's see you in" or something like that, it's just so not monster.
It has no attraction for me either, I don't mind the power and acceleration I just prefer light and nippy
maybe more like this. ( 10 nerd points available)
I'm with you beest. Cars, like houses, need a personality. I didn't care for my rental. For one thing it drove like crap even though it had all the bells and whistles.

blah blah blah .. yeh all that and the chicks like 'em!
Pipply o' mipply!
Chickas seem to be drawn to the smurly mobly dinna ken?
Espo if the parto of the man is the pasture paker!
I ate an egg for dinner. Rumbly of the ponging, it was.
Caterham 7?
Not Googled, just the only car I know which ends in a 7.
PS - Paramedics to Infi's please!
She seems to be having a fit!!

maybe a point for that, it's got a big 7 on the front.\
Trick is when I was looking for a picture of the style of car I liked I didn't google the car, I googled the name of a person.
Who's car is that a replica of ;)
I will take my point gladly - I am saving them up you know.
I don't claim to know anything about cars, so yes, the seven was a big clue.
BTW, the Aston in Aston Martin comes from Aston Clinton, just outside of Aylesbury (where I live).
It has a steep hill on which they used to test cars. And when I lived in London I used to test mine on the way home; A41 to get on the M25 and I only had a 1l Nissan Micra.
No searching needed re the famous Caterham.
He's a free man, not a number.

So you new that answer instantly, but hought it was too obvious and looked for a harder answer.
I think that qulaifies for the 10.
Not sure what the conversion is to get your own nerd, or a blender.
what manual are you looking for digr?
I'd like for the old man to have an owner's manual for his 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo.
My Westfield (an SEiW). I loved it but sadly it had to go to a new home...
I drove it for 300 miles and turned it over to J. She found, what I didn't find in all that time, some radio controls are behind your hands on the steering wheel.
Found the radio controls this morning, thanks, UT
...and happy to be back in my van this afternoon. Had to pull weeds without my wheelbarrow, though -go job it's been dry recently
maybe that's where the Lotus Position came from?
The one in the picture is a Caterham, McGoohan's was a Lotus. Caterham itself changed ownership last year.
I don't even want to think about the Caterham position......
All I can suggest is that they don't go into providing buffets for Bar Mitzvahs or Asian Weddings.
