Default Time for confession............

I've only had my car for almost 4 year and 79K miles and just figured out there's a little button on the windshield wiper control that activated the headlight squirters.

I just thought they didn't work...... not that I really ever needed them to.



What have you ever found out how to work well into a car ownership?

The first stage in healing, is to confess.


*OK, let's keep this going:

1) Did you know if you hold the cruise control button it will accelerate and deaccelerate in 5 mph increments?

Let me go investigate! Maybe that thing with two fans is a piece of ventilating luggage.

Such a classic ad. Someone must have gotten fired for that one

Engine? I though that was the mother board and cooling fans back there.


If you buckle your seatbelt you can just ignore your parking brake and drive off and it will release.
Try it without your belt buckled though and you'll be leaving two big 305mm black streaks down the driveway.

One thing that took me forever to figure out was why my automatic high beams weren't turning on. Turns out you need to be driving above 37mph.

Lesson learned, if something's not working in this car... drive faster.

I really miss the air-cooled motherboards. Now everyone uses these:
Amazon Amazon
Yeah, I know, now they can really boost the clock speed - but It's just not the same. And the new fans don't sound like the old ones did.

Nothing funny about the coolers. SMI (System Management) Interrupts, if one isn't working, are killing me. lol

And as funny as it is, I get used to a back-up cameras on my other cars to a point I look at a PCM screen (no matter what it shows) and back up
I have a back-up camrera on my 2013 CS and will miss it on my upcoming GTS. What would it take to have one (and perhaps a front one as well) installed?
