I use the same technique, but I do it to hear my wife beg me to slow down. It's the only thing I can do to get her to beg me for anything. I love my wife too...

If you have a cd with more than 20 tracks, like a ton of MP3's, you can turn the right dial and scroll to the track you want without having to search through every song with the foward advance button.

I LOL'd, I had the exact same thought.

USB will not play mp3s with a size of 1,171,698 or 585,093; but will play files sized 228,545. Not sure where the break point is but but it won't play those somewhere between 585,093 and 228,545.

Found this out today. While playing a playlist, turn the right knob and it will show you the upcoming songs. This comes in handy when I have my 10,000 song filled iPod on shuffle.

1. Did you know that your right rear view mirror is longer than the left one?
2. Arrgghh.................also, I just happened to notice that my 2012's carpet that is oppostite the gas pedal does not have that nice plastic carpet protecting insert that earlier models do. I'm gonna have to look into something to stick down there because I have a bad habit of resting the side of my foot on the carpet while driving.

Has anyone noticed when you have the small overhead cabin light on and then activate the turn signal, the overhead light will dim slightly at each tick of the turnsignal timing.

The early build 2010 Camaros had the GM "Chicklet" just behind the front wheel. I found that out at one of our car shows this past summer...I like it.
