Default What have you never used?

I have never used the:

1. rear window defroster
2. heated mirrors (not sure how they work.. maybe with defroster)
3. windshield washer fluid
4. heater
5. jack, spare tire
6. cassette player

anybody else think of anything they haven't used.

Never use the cruise control.
And I hardly use the air conditioner because the top is off all summer.
And my C4s cassette player plays too fast, so I don't use it.
It sounds like the "Chip Monks" if you remember who they are [prolly not].

All of it. But it took me two years to find the door lights turned on by clicking them.

Hell yes, Alvin and the Chipmunks rock! In the mid 60s when I was just a kiddling, I had an album of them singing all of the Beatles' hits! I wish I still had it, that album was a hoot!
I've never used the spare or jack (knock on wood) and only install them for long trips. Ditto on hoping that I never get to road test the air bags. I also haven't had the top out for driving since the first summer I had the car. The last time I had it out was last year to install the roll bar. Before that, it was to replace the clear top with a painted one that I found here on the forum. I like it much better for these hot NC summers.

I installed a switch to keep the antenna down when the stereo is turned on. I never use it. We have crap reception here and I only play CD's.

I installed one of these, but I wired it so I can keep the antenna either up or down, at my discretion.

Thanks for jarring the brain, more to add. Never used the cigarette lighter, cup holder and ashtray either.

I am sure if this was a daily driver, I'd use all of these things.

I'd like to do this too... where does the antenna wire run so I can grab onto it.

I hate cars that think they know what I want!!!

OK smart guy, what were the names of the other two chipmunks as well as the human? And no using the Internet to cheat - this isn't "open book".

Spare tire (yet) which reminds me, I should check the PSI

Solid top -- I use the glass one only.

PS -- not cheating --- Simon and Theodore are the other chipmunks. Human was Dave or David.
