How very true.  I got a new car recently and was looking at the manual that 
came with it yesterday.  It is SO busy and I would say well over half is 
stuff that has nothing to do directly with operating that car.  (I guess 
Pontiac covering their ass:  The safety advice just runs the gamut)

Enjoying this tread as well.  Thanks Alan!!
