[quote=squat250]fear is my only true call to action. Basically I was too afraid to sit on cash and not buy a house, and I was too afraid that by merely having started seriously thinking that my old car was unsafe that I would jinx myself into having a fatal accident.

i do need to get some sort of mesh type seat cushion to i don’t sweat up my new ride.

im pretty excited about the ipod usb connection. actually it’s pretty bitching just to have a stereo…[/quote]

seat cushion probaby ok, but don’t get an entire cover if your have side airbags that are inside the car seat itself. It may hinder the deployment of the airbag on a side impact. Just enjoy the car, don’t worry about getting it dirty..If you get it dirty, call up a detailer to give it a wash inside in about a year or two…

Hey, if you want a pair of hello kitty seat covers, I think I have them still from a retail promotion 🙂

Don’t you love the USB integration? I think it rocks. Memory sticks are so cheap now, I got myself a 16gb stick and I slam all my music in there, and my kid has her own music on her own memory stick..Works great for long road trips…

If you have a mini usb hard drive, *sometimes* they work, if you can get external power to them…

If you have bluetooth, check if you can streaming music via bluetooth too. (A2DP audio).

The newer the cars, most of these things are standard equipment (and some of it didn’t exist until now)..
