Fun with 2k2
Hey all
Finally picked up 6 spd last night and just wanted to relate a funny little story.
After we signed all the papers and stuff, I drove the 6 spd home and my wife followed in our 5 spd. We got home, parked the 5 spd, and she hopped in and we went for a ride.
Anyhow, we're driving around enjoying our new car when I decide to have a little fun and play a trick on my wife.
I casually mention something like: "Haven't listened to the sound system yet. Let's pop a CD in". So she pops in one of my Hip bootlegs and listen for a few minutes.
Then, using the buttons on the steering wheel, I suddenly lower the volume all the way down and act all surprised. I go: "What the hell just happened? Why did the volume go down."
Now my wife doesn't know that there are steering wheel controls for the radio, so she's a little confused as to what just happened. She reaches over a turns the volume back up. As soon as she takes her hand away from ****, I turn the volume way up using the steering wheel button. Then I hit mode and switch to the radio, wait a few secs, switch to FM2, then AM, all the while playing it to the hilt: "WTF is this!?!? Brand new F@$! $30K car and the radio is screwed."
My wife just flips: "I can't believe this! We're going to take this car back right now" etc... Finally, I just can't hold it in anymore and crack up. I'm just in tears.
I confess to her what I've been doing which gets me a whack on the arm. It was worth it.
