yeah, i know...but it sure is freaky to have your vehicle "ticking" when no
one is inside of it. :-)

So you don't use elevators???

If you don't believe the salesman, believe the owners who have children:
crushing isn't an issue.

Once you've had the electric doors, you never go back. Even with
babies/toddlers.

well....they DO give me the creeps. and i DO make sure my little one is
fully in the elevator before the door begins to close. if you'll remember
last year in houston, a surgeon was decapitated in a hospital elevator when
his head got caught in the elevator doors which did NOT open back up (like
they are "supposed" to do when they detect something in the way). the
elevator went up...and his head was sheared off as it changed floors.

well, i should just believe "you" right? just because it hasn't happened to
"you."

yeah, kinda like eddie murphy eh? "once you've had a man with no legs baby,
there ain't NO going back!" <g>

yer fun to argue with, elmo.

seriously, though, another reason i hate those electric doors is when it's
raining very hard, you have to sit there waiting FOREVER for the silly
things to close. when you close them manually, you can close them as fast
as you want. with as little rain getting in as possible.

forgive me, dahling, for not liking "gadgets" as much as the next guy (or
gal, as the case may be).

ps...i also hated the wheels on the EX. i much prefer the cheaper, albeit
nicer looking ones on the LX. i also thought the cost of the wheels on the
EX was highway robbery and therefore refused to spend my hard earned money
on something so grossly overpriced. so ultimately what i did was got an LX
and had all of the extras (top of the line sound system, luggage rack, tv,
etc) added to it that i wanted thus getting (and paying for) "exactly" the
vehicle i wanted. ;-) and nothing more.
