Wow, and I thought that the owners manual was only there to keep my tire
pressure guage from ratteling around. It's funny, this Dealership is only a
few miles from my house, and I have never been able to buy anything from
them. Not a car, a part, nothing. Every time I walk in there, it's like they
take bets on how fast they can piss me off and get me to leave.
