i think I FING know what the color is called.

copper does not rust. rust is what happens to a ferrous material- something with IRON in it. by defintion COPPER is NOT IRON. it does oxidise but then it has a"patina" of green which is very dsirabl. of course this wont happen to your car 'cause it isnt covered in COPPER, its PAINTED a color called COPPER RED

your catching me in a mood. i just had to close like 7 threads all over the forum "is there really a recall?" then you wanted to be smart and correct ME. when i was explaining why your car is definetly a shinka which is what you asked. its abit annoying to go around trying to help people and ferret out all this info and then get disrespected.

I can understand... but considering colors on cars are specific when refering to them, for such things as touchup paint, its really not plausable to argue copper vs cherry... So it was all in fun. Thanks for that info though.

Also, it doesnt say in the book that the 6disk plays mp3's. But on the sticker outside the car when i looked at it, it said mp3/cd.

I think it's a '98. I'm not even sure that you can't disable the audible portion of the alarm, it's just what pop told me after reading the manual (alllllllllegedly!). Next time I'm visiting them I'll have to see for myself, I just took his word for it.

What a great design, wakes up everyone in a two-house radius if you want to unlock the car in the evening... Perhaps not a bad thing if you don't LIKE the neighbors.

I don't think you can do it on the '98, I'm not sure on this but I think '02 and newer you can disable the audible sound.

Tape deck??? Ok, so the last guy/gal that owned it ordered the tape player which means he/she had tapes, which means that he/she was old and maybe drove the car in a civilized manner while listening to the pan flute or maybe old Vegas entertainers. Or, they were my age (old) and listened to recordings of Led Zeppelin cause they had the tapes left over from the 70s and drove the crap out of it. Look for doobies under the carpet.
