I have been taking all my cars through auto car washes for well over 25 years and never lost anything yet. They do a good job and besides, it is just a stupid car, not my wife.

The right side wiper does Not hide under the hood like the left side does. Should it be this way ( I hope not) or hidden like the left side is. I see it each time I drive wife's car and it bugs me, her on the other hand as long as it has gas and oil she don't pay attention.

I think the Hybrid is a geat smooth riding car. But I'm 63 not 83 and have driven/owned a number of sports cars performance cars and like that type of ride. Before losing a lot of money getting rid of it why not talk to some aftermarket auto places and have them put softer shocks/struts on it. Would be a lot cheaper in the long run.
A lot of it is you were brought up in the time when everyone thought a car should ride like a boat and float down the road. Now people realize this can be dangerous and you just don't have the control over a big old boat floating down the road.

You need to turn the key full on WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE until after the key is full on.

I have a Fusion Hybrid with the Nav and there are 2 vents just above it. I wonder if there is any way of making them so they will blow air higher up as I'm 6'4" and find that near the roof the hot air (no, not my head) lingers the longest. If they would blow the cold air up higher I think it would displace the hot air sooner. Has anyone taken the part off and looked to see if they could be made to tilt up higher?
