Yep, this comes up every few months. Figured from the thread title that it had to be this or the cupholder. Now everyone following this thread is thinking, "Cupholder? What's up with the cupholder?" Answer: Go pull out the front one.

If you have kids on the way, then you should be on the lookout for lights being left on once they are moving around and getting into stuff. Kids can click on the light and you won't know it until your battery is drained.
Dont ask me how I know this!

This happened to us too! The dog must've hopped over seats and tapped it with her back... took me quite a while to figure out it was a touch light.

I got all the options including a 6spd...didn't get the 6.1 hemi though for now you can only get a manual trans with the 5.7 which is more then enough power for now. Just nice to have a pistol grip shifter haven't had that since my 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Hemi (first car hemi orange...wish I still had it...that car could pay off my mortgage lol)

Thanks...looking forward to the baby...been assembling furniture all day lol.

I am a financial advisor/stockbroker for mostly retail clients however I have been taking on some institutional business this year mostly to help out a friend who ran his hedge fund into the ground and needed someone to bail him out.

lol..i can only imagine...I'm thinking it is probably a good idea to keep this light a secret (from my nieces anyway my son probably wont be able to reach the light for a couple of years)unless I wanna invest in a battery charger.

If my wife gets the daughter, the mail sits in the box and the mail lady has the habit of just forcing all mail in to the back of the box... if I'm gone for a few days... oh boy the box is STUFFED!

I digress... Thank you for the info and congrats on the tax deduction, hopefully it'll be an '08 model.
lol...funny you mentioned that the original due date was december 31st (new years eve) after the last sonogram it was changed to the 27th..which still doesn't mean much with a standard deviation of plus or minus 4 but my sister and husband whom live in texas just sent us a present with all sorts of clothes, toys etc, one item was a bib that is embroidered " Tax Deduction" lol
Either way if the baby is an 08 or 09 model it's still a deduction but if it's 08 it's like a free deduction since he was born at the end of the year. Which only seems fair since they only let you deduct a fraction of what it actually costs to care for a child.
