I bought the Subaru when I was delivering newspapers in the middle of the night in the dead of winter, and the power windows sure helped immensely! Now, it's just a great car to drive in the winter. It's almost as fun to drive as my '85 Hachiroku! |

Back to the Future Part III is on the EACT tv channel right now.
I don't like power anythings.Only power from my Dodge engine and starter motor and alternator and windshield wipers. cuhulin |

Power mirrors - MUCH easier to adjust the mirrors if you're sitting in the seat the way you actually drive. Power seats - more range of positions available than with the manual seats. Power windows - Great for those times after a trip through Taco-Bell or Burrito Joes, Trust me on this one... Power locks - With a small 2 door these are not really needed. BUT take a larger 4 door or a full sized crew cab truck and the option pays for itself the first time you don't have to crawl over the seats to unlock/lock a door. -- Steve W. |

I once read somewhere, if somebody is driving a fiberglass body car and
if it catches fire,,, Get out as fast as you can! That burning fiberglass stuff gives off poisious fumes.Not only that, but there wouldn't be anything left of that car but the thick iron/steel pieces. cuhulin |
