The driver window - which was powered by my elbow - had to be held so as to not fall into the door frame forcing me to be forever with the window down. The glove compartment latch held the cover on. I don't mean held the glove compart CLOSED, I mean, held the glove compartment ONTO the dashboard. The ceiling material - or whatever the ceiling cloth is called - was coming down and was held up by 100 pins organized in little star shapes. <BR/><BR/>And the car was olive green.

Thanks Bone.<BR/><BR/>I made the mistake, though, of getting the cool galloping horse on the grill (instead of the standard grill), which cuts the airflow down. Bad idea if you live in a part of the country where the daytime temp is rarely below 70 degrees.
