Thats cool! And I am pretty sure you guys have already discussed this, but why is there a cruise control icon in the cluster if there is no cruise control option? Also the Prez says its due to some bs about not enough space in a wiring harness in the steering column or something, but there is a cruise control icon in the dash?

With some of the earliest 451, there wasn't a cruise control icon. There were two "ECO" words where there's now the cruise icon and an unused (black) position.

It was the Midwest Rally in Wisconsin Dells WI. June 12-14. There were over 100 cars in attendance, and was a great time!! Plans are for a repeat next year in Kansas City (last I heard)

As one who can vouch for the fact that my smartie will do 83 in a 55 - with the 451 tucked somewhere invisibly with a stock-like install + John H's LED on my dash - I'm one changed woman. Literally.

Neener neener neeeener. No Radar Love.

Many blessings upon Steve and John H...smart's Ride Enhancement Heros. Kings of Krooze. The Cruisinators...

Cruise easy, smarties. Miles of smiles...

OK.....well after our trip to KC this past weekend in "Lil Panda", I told 'Deer 1' that we've GOT to have CC on this by the time the Nationals comes around next year.

While the drive wasn't that bad, it would have allowed me to 'stretch' my legs from time to time.
