You can adjust the brightness of those lights, or turn them off completely from one of the menus accessed with the steering wheel buttons. I like them on, too.

I don't recall Marcus putting any money on this.
At the end of the day, all that matters is that Turdstar finally purchased his E55.

I'm sure in the future, we can look forward to many interesting threads started by the Turdstar.

The refinery fire was in Blaine. 10 minutes from Canada.

And odds are all you need is the BT puck, check the classifieds. Does your radio have the sat button?

Nice choice Toad-
Car cleaned up real nice after your trip. Nothing worse than being around a ton of gravel being sprayed all around.
My money is that within the month you will begin the downward spiral of modding !!!
Seems like you have an active group out your way to keep it all real.
Enjoy.

It's an early 05, but the jury is still out on what denotes the change - there are 03s with the slide as well

I could have sworn CNN said Tacoma, was watching TV for 3 hours at the dealer... I could almost regurgitate Obamas speech I heard it so many times LOL

I do have the SAT button, but no satellite installed...

Haha, nah, it was the BP refinery up north. When you hit the sat button, does anything come up?
