"Tour" setting on F55, twilight sentinal, lighter & windshield washer fluid (probably original, never tried it & don't know if it even works!)

Daily driver so I use it all. I have sentinel turned off and I keep traction control always on. Windshield wipers, heat, A/C all get used.

I have a VW Turbo GTI as a daily driver. Its a blast to drive. Hits the turns like its on rails, and comes with decent Recaro designed seats that hold you in place (unlike the crappy C5 seats).

I run my Z06 in "comp" mode every time. I like letting the tail loose around turns. Its fun !

Maybe you meant to say a Camry or something...

Got a question for those that don't use the HUD.

Curious as to why? At first I thought it was a gimmick and I would not use it either. After a couple days I found I liked it.

Garage?

Mine were turning on every time I entered the garage....
Yes, it was one of the first things I turned off. CD player. Still haven't used it after owning for 10 months. Don't even know if it works.

LOL! You mean you guys don't use EVERY SINGLE BUTTON AND FEATURE on the car EVERY DAY?!

You guys are living boring lives.

I even use the gas door release pulley behind the wheel well often!

Daily driver, and most everything is used. The Twilight Sentinel is even on, but that's because my headlamp multifunction switch doesn't work anymore so its the only way I can drive in the dark.
