Well the turd gen cars are getting a little worse now. My combination meter failed today, dash went completely dark. I guess the same problem that's been plaguing the 2nd gen cars, now going to the older turd gens.

(I put a sunshade up on the windshield when not in use. I hope this helps prolong it's life)... (EDIT- That reminds me of another word, maybe not an official word, that I haven't seen in a while. It was used when someone was complaining about his/her not so friendly car, that put a good laugh in me. I wonder if the forum filters will prevent it:. craptastic)...
