-The cruise control sucks. What's so hard about designing a system that adjusts your speed +/- 1 mph based on if you push the stalk up or down once? I have to push the damn thing up 3 times to get it to increase 1 mph.
-the ambient temperature gauge is just off the charts inaccurate. Just yesterday I took a 3 hour drive (charlotte to Raleigh) and the closest the gauge ever got to being correct was 5-6 degrees. For the majority of the trip it was 9-10 degrees off. Minor details like this make me wonder about the quality of engineering that goes into more important items.

Before I placed knee pads, I used to hate resting my legs on the side walls of the driver seat. I was getting joint pains on long 3-4 hour drives.
For a moment I thought I was getting osteoarthritis from driving the car.. |

So where are you supposed to put the jack stands after you use the floor jack?
