builds character posted:Easier to ask forgiveness than permission. That's been my life's motto. My wife (bless her soul) is fairly open-minded on dumb car purchases. But the funny thing is she has one car she cannot tolerate and finds absolutely revolting in the universe of cars. That would be the El Camino. If I were to say drag that Rampage (which is drat slick) home that would really test the forgiveness part. Not sure her thoughts on a PT Cruiser though.

Back in 07 or so, I bought an elky. Had my car dealer buddy on the lookout and he traded for a low mileage '85 that the PO had painted yellow. It was awesome. Best tailgait car ever. In an era where you needed a step ladder to load a truck, this one you just slung it over the side with your arm never getting a foot above your waist. My brother in law came to Oxford for the 09 'Ole Miss/LSU game. Heart surgeon from Atlanta. Almost refused to get into the car after the game to take our tailgate home. Bitching the whole time about being in an El Camino. Called me Joe Dirt. Then a drunk LSU chick comes up to the passenger side and asks him if she can dance in the bed while we are stuck in game day traffic. We were trying to get to our tent and wives. We say sure. 3 minutes later a cop knocks on my door, He said, "Is she yours?" Who? The chick taking her clothes off in the bed of your El Camino. Brother in law revised his position on El Caminos. I miss that car.

Can anyone translate this for me? Is he saying you need to open the glove box and reboot the car sometimes? Maybe while in motion? I have so many more questions.

I read this as sometimes it comes out of gear while driving, you then turn it off when you hear a click in the glovebox area you are supposed to turn the car on again and it will then go back into gear.

It's in Wisconsin, so there's a pretty good chance it's a hacked-to-poo poo breathalyzer interlock.
