Somebody Explain to me.....

Post by maytag »

Okay, it's been driving me NUTS!!!

tell me WHY the center / radio console sits crooked? Like it's 'tweaked'? I thought it was just mine, installed improperly.... but I see it in a LOT of photos of our cars.

and what's more: it's turned AWAY from the driver?!?!?!?
I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!

Cuz the driver's supposed to be paying attention to the road! I think mine is pretty much centered, it just sits crooked. :?

chris obert told me once that radios were for the passengers. drivers should only concern themselves with the Italian sound eminating from the exhaust, concentrating on how good that sound makes them look as the owner of the fine Italian artwork passing by the spectator.

If you get a late model Spider,like my 82,the drivers seats are all crooked.That makes the console appear perfectly straight!! :lol:
