funny quirk
usually the dash lights come on in that perfect little spot on the swith, but tonight they didnt, so i figured what the hell ill fix it later. but when i was going up the on ramp i accidently bumped the horn and guess what, my dash lights came on.
i thought it was rather funny

Thats funny. My truck is much the same way. For the most part I can make my turn signals work, except one, but the parking lights don't work, but the side markers work. Right now I'll be happy to get my turn signals working.

sometimes my dome light doesn't come on when I open the door. it's usually when I need to find something that's lying on the ground. even if I turn the lights **** to the left it doesn't turn on. you gotta open and close the door til they turn on.

It is funny that we think these are funny quirks...most people would automatically take their vehicle to the dealer or mechanic because they would consider this catastrophic failure. When it gets pretty cold out the dash lights in my ol' girl won't come on until it warms up...I chalk this up to the fact that she hasn't woken up yet and needs her morning octane.

Good to know I'm not alone in this...or just crazy!. I talk to mine, kiss her good night, encourage her to wake up on cold mornings, and tell her she done good when we've hauled a big load.
I'm this way with my Harley too, which I also swear is alive.

WOW, now I don't feel as weird!! 
And my wife still thinks I need counseling though,,,, when she asks where I spent the money, I just tell her another truck!!
And quirks,,, everyone of mine has them. Had a friend borrow my 66, had to tell him how to start her, not to touch the gas when doing a warm start and so on.... !
But I like to work out most of the quirks, dpending on what they are.

i am so glad i am not the only person who talks to vechicles and machines, lol, some people think that's crazy, i for one believe that sine new cars are so robot made in factory's, and there design, they have no sense of a soul, look back to the old steam trains, and the old conductors said the old steamers had more of a soul and where alive! i guess that's just part of being car crazy!
