    My current head unit's made for AV systems, RCA cables in the back of my stereo! I got a chord for adapting it to a headphone jack, and temporarily slipped it through to my glove box. Removed it for now and I always take my MP3 with me. Already had a cell phone stolen from a locker in high school, so I'm not going to make a mistake like that twice.

    Although, since my head unit's screen has a crack, I'm gonna replace it with something Nvrenuf posted under my "Head Unit Ideas" thread.

    Can you beieve that Ford quality is now equal to Toyota? I wish they did that on earlier vehicles, Mom's old Escort, her Explorer, and two others my parents wanted me to trade my truck for were filled to the top with problems.

    Escort: Don't know, she loved it, but complained about unreliablity
    Explorer: Brakes, tires, sagging leaf springs, horrible mileage
    Mercury Mystique: Let's just say, it has the unflattering moniker of Mercury's Mistake
    Focus: Wouldn't pass emissions (pre-Partial Zero), head gasket, tranny, busted taillight (last one's no biggie)

    With the USB input? That would be useful. Mine's not an iPod, it's a SanDisk e280. Similar in some features, but still not an iPod. Oh well, at least it keeps me entertained on long trips and Gorillaz annoy my dad on the drive home from the airport!:D

    I got to drive the Explorer this week when I ran out of gas in my truck. Other than the fact it screwed up my front end and has all-chick interior, I like it. Got the power to avoid getting passed by jack a$$es. My only real complaint is that it's an auto.

    I am alright with Fords, but I prefer Toyotas, they last longer!

    I hate the music my parents listen to though... COUNTRY!:puke: Whenever I drive the Explorer or Dad's Ram, I either drive in silence, or bring a CD. They've got stock audio... The Explorer's even got cassette with it's CD player!:eek:

    Was first the Toyota MR2 for me, then my truck, then the BTTF truck, then I found this site from Toyota Reference.

    Get a Tundra, I hear they might make a dually, maybe even a diesel.

    Not bad, Chevy can use some help right now anyway. My girlfriend's dad has an '02 Silverado long bed quad cab, and even I love it. Got some rust holes in the bed, but then again, he uses it for working, and towing their trailer and Baja to the desert. I can't wait though, they want me to come with them sometime, but my job doesn't grant me very much freedom. I'm not even allowed a break.

    Oh well Silverados are pretty cool, if I could get newer mini truck, it would be in this order:
    Toyota Tacoma
    Isuzu's version of the Colorado
    Chevy Colorado
    GMC Canyon
    Nissan Frontier
    Ford Ranger

    I know. The Isuzu one is also a carbon copy. Part of the reason why that one's in second is partially because of my sig, and then I also love my Rodeo, even though my cousin nearly destroyed her.

    Lyric from the Gorillaz "Dirty Harry" you're the second one to ask:lol: I like Isuzus, so I thought it would be funny to post that on the site. Especially because I have a heavy foot. I did overheat the Rodeo's Auto on the freeway after fixing the oil cooler line for it... Fun driving the way I do, and I've only gotten one ticket and NO warnings, I don't really speed though drop it sometimes about 5MPH over.

    Overheated the tranny by overfilling it (accidental, warning light was on and filling it fixed it.) and it downshifting over and over trying to get on the freeway.

    Another cool thing is that the Rodeo has an electric fan standard, along with the typical fan-clutch. Also push button light and wiper controls. Have a pic if you're intersted.

    Don't have any by itself, but here's one with my truck. It's currently in Orange, my grandparents use her. Because mom had a dash cover over the Tranny Temp warning light, the previous tranny blew and my grandparents got a new one.
