    Little features on the car - glove box knob!

    noticed this for the first time the other day... on the rear end of the glove box is a little knob with a snowflake symbol on it. The knob seems to control just a valve ...seemingly to vent into the firewall or whereever. Or perhaps it actually is connected to the A/C system to keep your...

    (how) can rear wheel geometry/alignment be set for this car?

    took car - 17k miles fresh - to the alignment shop said the rear tire was off camber (too negative), but also off-toe. they said the rear camber is non-adjustable, and its a function of ride height. sorta makes sense to me. they said the car is sagged below factory specs -- highly unexpected...
