    Well, actually, you are wrong. The first couple of posts gave the right answer a little bit vaguely because the question was a little bit vague. The handle in question wasn't precisely identified, no picture, but it was close enough for the helpful folks who answered.

    Dulcimer, who also plays the Irish Harp, came back at once and was satisfied with the answer. Charles just responded like a windbag and made everybody else mad as hell, as well as bringing folks out of the woodwork who stated they avoided asking questions because they feared being put down with smarty answers like his.

    And, since the question had already been answered, his response wasn't so much an attempt to help as to show everybody what a literary genius he was.

    Bravo, Charles! You made a couple of friends here.

    No, I guess you missed my statement "one of the only people " which might have been clearer if I had said "one of the few people".

    Right! I always tell my students, "The only "stupid question" is one you DON'T ask because you're afraid of 'looking stupid.'"

    Best regards,

    Yeah!! What the heck was the OP thinking? I clearly found out what it was in my Owners Manual...

    it was under "that thing that looks like a stick under the steering wheel" Section in the index... :blink: :rolleyes:

    I read the whole entire manual and don't recall seeing this feature mentioned so I, for one, am grateful to the original poster. I'm going to check it out as soon as I leave the office. As someone mentioned, not every bit of information read in the manual is going to be recalled.

    So far as Charles is concerned, at the very least he has a very cute cat! He can't be all that bad.

    Haven't visited this site in a while, now I remember why. There is another site with "just the facts mam", not all of this bullshit!

    I read through the manual after I got the car and I keep it handy, but I get more information from reading this web site, usually. For example, I logged on today to see what other people were doing with tire inflation, because I know the recommended inflation in the manual is actually a little on the low side. It is actually easier to do a search here than search through that manual.

    I have read my manual, but when I try to go back and look something up, it's damn near impossible to find topics. The index sucks...the TOC sucks...it's just sucky in general. MUCH QUICKER AND EASIER TO ASK ON THIS FORUM...AND THE MANUAL DOESN'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING, ANYWAY!

    Did I mention the manual sucks?"

    Why not tell us how you REALLY feel about the manual? :eek:
