Default Just back from 500 mile road trip

The stupid 12V plug in the console wouldn't work for the computer so I had to put it in the front one where I had the radar detector plugged in. Thought I had blown a 20 amp fuse. Got some at Walley's and went to put it in and the old one was fine. I said WTF! Guess I'll have to take it in under warranty. My 14 year old son got to poking his finger in the plug in the hump, and he said something is loose in there. I stuck my big fat finger in there and sure enough, I could turn something. I got a toothpick and tried to work my magic and got the thing out. It was a freaking penny. No more will I simply dump my spare change in there. Had computer and radar detection on the way home. Good trip. Got 32 mph going and 25.2 coming back (uphill)

Good mileage! I remember the older explorers had cd changers in the center console and they would always get change suck in them and become inoperable.

Great mileage. I never put change in the console. I use the gear shifter boot.

It's got a change holder thingy in there, but I just have it all filled up. Guess I need to cash in.

In Orlando, we have a device called the E-pass that you stick on your windshield (inside).
No need for change (change, got change? South Park...) and no more line at the toll booth.
You go straight through and the thing beeps to let you know you paid the toll.

This is the only thing this stupid town has done right.
