right side of the rear liscense plate mounting area is a recess into the plastic which is meant to be a handle

I didnt know that one ... COOL! I have been worried about breaking the key off while opening the pod bay door.

Also learned that the dome light can be operated on its own by pushing its lense upwards

learned about that one first time I sat in the VX... Looked up and wondered how the heck to turn it off... I think 'push' was the giveaway...

Did you know that if you ever got a flat (stock) tire, after replacing it with the space save in the door, there is an ingenious way to secure the flat tire in the back of the VX!!! Yep...its in the manual!!!

Yes, I Saw that in the manual.. and even used it once...

How about the fact that the rear window defogger/deicer is on a 30 min timer incase you forget to turn it off

Every vehicle I've owned has had some variation of this feature... Usually less than 30 mins though. Some even cycled on and off every 5-10 mins until you turned off the car.

but the side mirror defogger/deicer will not and you need to rememebr to turn it off!!

Learned that the hard way ... glanced down and saw the little green light still on after quite a while, and mirror was still warm...

Of course when you turn off the VX you cancel all these systems.

Even the door handle? ;Dr;

Anway... seriously... thanks for pointing out some of these things... The door handle one has intrigued me, and I wanna go make sure mine works before I head out for lunch..
