If you can't figure out how to work a defroster, you shouldn't be allowed to drive.

that thing looks like an overgrown civic hatchback

I had an Avalanche which is a cross between a 4 door truck and an suv and I still think a Suburban would have been much better.

i'm referring to one in particular story that i'd seen on 60 minutes that had a digital screen. not even the test driver could figure it out. the story was about things being made overly complex than they should. kind of like how we need 3 remotes to watch tv nowadays.

That's why they have universal remotes. I have one that controls my TV, Cable Box, DVR, DVD player, VCR, and stereo.

I get what you're saying.

That would be even worse because I wouldn't have the saddle bags or water proof bed area.

how much did that one cost? i've never found a universal that could control everything. but then again, i've never really looked hard enough. i've settled with a tv remote, a dvd remote, and a vcr remote, and since i run my dvd player through my vcr, it takes all 3 to watch a dvd

i've sure you'd come across having to transport something that would make you wish you had a truck instead, like a fridge or washer and dryer. even though you can borrow someone's it's still a pain having to.
