Re: Unthinkable read !!
Hmm, I've never asked for directions in my life, so I KNOW I'm a man.
But I always read vehicle owners manuals (when I first get them).

When pulling the stock radio be sure to give it away and then remember to toss the papers that come with the aftermarket radio. This way you will ensure a peace installation and use of the equipment

Re: Unthinkable read !!
I was lucky my recently purchased '96 Safari actually had the owners manual! ... And yes, I did the same thing as far as the radio goes... Feels like a 'confession' of sorts... LOL ;-)

I've got to re-read the owner's manual each time the time changes from Standard to Daylight Savings and back.

Re: Unthinkable read !!
I am sorry but you will have to hand in your man card now...
Remember stopping to ask for directions goes against the man code in the worst way possible. But having a GPS is OK because the techie factor out weighs the asking for directions bit.
