    Mystery Devices in the Back Seat

    Did you know that we've got an ash tray in the back seat? I didn't! That damn thing has been hiding for at LEAST three years! I found the previous owner's used brass in there!

    I wonder what else hides back in that impossible to reach area...

    Hey - I resent that monobrow comment (we call it a uni-brow though).

    Hey, it took me almost two years before I realized that the dome light can be turned on or off by pushing it!

    ...it can?! I must test this when I get home from class today...

    I didn't know about the backseat ashtray either; not like I spend much time back there to find it though.

    And for the record, Mark showed me the seat bolsters while I was in Moab; I doubt the last people who owned my girl knew about them either, cause boy was there some nasty crap growing in there.

    ...I wonder what other wonders are hiding in this (still fairly new to me) rig. It's like finding eggs on easter, lol

    It took me months to figure out how to get the cruise control to work...lol. I can't see the switch from the driver's seat since I have the steering wheel all the way up. I was whining about it not working, the wife asked if I had turned it on...duh.

    What? I even did a quick internet search and still don't know what this is.

    The lower front part of the seat slides out for longer legs. Also makes for a handy cup-holder on the passenger side if not being used. Just grab the lip under the seat and pull. Beware there will likely be a lot of debris in there if it hasn't been used lately.

    Not quite the same, but here's my favorite "DOH!" moment:

    After fixing the left door lock mechanism (which I had broken previously), I had everything put back together nice and tidy. Then I had to immediately remove the door panels to figure out what I had broken this time. Obviously I had shorted something out because the passenger window wouldn't roll down. Yep... only after removing the panels did I instantly remember the window lock button - I must have accidentally pressed it.

    Fortunately it's really not my fault though since... well, uh, something, something, something...

    Heh. That's the part of the seat that eats cell phones. I discovered that one when I read the manual cover to cover. I think it mentions the dome light, too. At the very least, I remember looking at it thinking, "I wonder why it says PUSH here?"

    This thread is making me laugh. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is still discovering new things.
