Yeah but Manual, consider the source...

My thoughts exactly.

Ahhh, it's good to see that some things never change. How good do your eyes have to be to see when the air filter is clogged and needs replacing?

My eyes are so bad, that I use triangulation to navigate my truck down the road... that is also how I can go from NYC to Buffalo, NY while sleeping in the bed of my truck while doing 65 mph down the thruway.

I've also turn the cab of my truck into a large microwave oven, controlled by my Pioneer HU. I can cook a good sized pig in my truck while driving. It signifies done when the truck turns off, and the HU does it's 5 beeps.

The next thing I need to do is somehow convert that extra space behind the cab into an additional living quarters... like possibly adding a small couch and some plants...
