I guess i don’t really need anything. Althought I have grown quite fond of automatic transmissions. I can smoke/eat/drink/drive and do my taxes all at the same time. ---

And a working radio… says mr range rover :lol: power windows & locks, good stereo system, and since I have a prescription, as many layers of tint I can put on before it’s hard to see out. That’s really all I need I guess. ---

Must have: Power windows, keyless entry, cruise, manual trans for me, auto for the wife, decent power. Like to have: CD changer, leather, power pedals, power seats, ipod integration, remote start, heated seats, stability control/traction control if it can be turned off, One touch windows, auto headlights, auto dimming mirror. Don’t give a shit about: Push button starters, Homelink, Bluetooth, heated mirrors (have them on the truck and almost never use them), multizone heating/cooling, E85 ability. Would prevent me from buying: Stability control/traction control that can’t be disabled, underpowered POS’s, auto trans for me, manual trans for the wife. ---

> [@newman](#): > > I like that my mirror tips down in reverse to park. Back up sensors are nice… Ugh I hate car mirrors that tilt down when put in reverse…maybe its just because I am tall that when I look in my side mirrors I can see the pavement/ground. It might be different with a truck though… ---
