rosebeeDid you know that it is actually possible to add cruise control to a car even when it didn't come with it originally?
I just found this out recently. My car *could* have come with Cruise (it was one of the available options) but whoever bought the car when it was brand-new decided he/she didn't want it.
I called my dealer to ask about the process, and he said that while the original manufacturer's part isn't available he gave me the name & number of a local car accessories store (Sounds On Wheels) that can install an after-market version in my car for $399.
Since I see a frequent amount of 8-hour drives (to go see HTB) in my future, I thought that sounded like a deal!
HTB has pretty much the same car I do (his is a wagon & a year older, mine's a sedan), and his has cruise. It'll be interesting to see what this after-market kit looks like. I'm hoping it'll look just like it was an original part of the car.
