Yes, we wives are good with that. I don't have any kids, but my hubby still gets the "elbow in the solar plexus" and the lament "I'm in here you idiot."

Man, I am racking up the miles! So the first pic is the latest shot of my odometer, and the second is of someone who either didn't have or just didn't use the backup sensor. (Or maybe someone ran in to them? Nah, I like my story better!)

Yep--They of course would pay you...Then you could go gamble a little and fill up that drawer in your house--just in case the 2010 models are too tempting

Im not sure anything is easy to keep clean. I've had two white suvs in a row and you could sure see the dirt on them - particularly after a trip to Tahoe. I have a blue two seater and it shows a fair amount of dirt as well. Only the wife's minVAN in a goldish tone hides the dirt well.
Besides they are all expensive cars so we might as well try and keep them clean. right?

The accelerator pedal only needs to have the new one slipped over the existing pedal. There is a rubber lip around the underside of the new items, you have to stretch fit this over the metal pedal base. It takes a little bit of effort to do this.
The Brake Pedal old one has to be removed. It just comes off by pulling on one edge until the lip releases and you continue until you pull it off. The new one is the most difficult one to put on. I started with the big upper right edge and then went around lifting the lip until I got the entire lip over the metal pedal base. I used a small screwdriver to pry the lip edge out and over the base metal.
The Parking Brake has a small plastic pin holding it in place. I just took some cutting pliers and snipped off the plastic clip and then it came off very easily. The new one goes on easily and you have to force the little rubber retained though the hole to anchor it to the metal base.
All in all pretty easy but a little squeezing into position to get it done. The brake pedal caused some expletives during install but once completed was worth the effort...:-)
