Default Mr. Plum has developed a neuron problem. . . . . the trunk lid automatic closure quit

working. . . once manually partially close it the electronics will finish the job. . perhaps the little button one pushes to close the lid went south. . . you can all imagine how embarrassing it was to have to manually close the trunk in a public parking lot yesterday.

Default As I've mentioned before, mine doesn't always open.

After pressing the button on the keyfob about 187 times for it to open the other day, my wife mentioned in that less-than-subtle wifely way, "you know, you could actually open it by hand."

Next thing you know she'll be expecting me to get up out of my chair to change the television channel.

Default If that button went south Mr.Ricco. I do believe

that it will find its way into an A8L in Alabama! LOL. With a backseat so large, why use the trunk? I mean, you dont live in Philly so you really dont need it!

Default DO NOT, I repeat, do not get out of that chair! Actually,

it usually takes two hits of the remote button to disengage the Silver Bullets hind quarters.

Default I can empathize... When you push the button...

you expect it to actually do the task. My trunk buttons seem to work just fine <yeah> However, my espresso machine is driving me crazy. It doesn't want to dispense hot water - Randy keeps saying, why don't you just use the microwave, instead of pushing the button 100 times and cursing the whole time? But there's a button there... it's supposed to work... d*mn-it, I'm going to *make* it work!!!

Now if I could just remember to push the little button to release the gas filler door. (before I walk around the car to the pump)

Default Hey! I resemble that remark :)

But then, I'm not sure I'd want to understand those deep thoughts sometimes ignorance is bliss!
