Stupid Explorer Tricks

So this week the National Law Enforcement Explorers Convention is here at GA Tech.
They seem to have a real problem with some basic concepts, such as the secure doors on my apartment complex. It has a buzzer that goes off after being open for more than 10 seconds to prevent people from propping them open. I hear that buzzer constantly up in my room on the 7th floor... Not only do they cause it to go off, but they continue to hold open the door.
And these are supposedly future cops?

I have a friend who had a 2005 Ford truck. The cruise control switch that had the recall. The truck caught fire and this person canned Ford big time. My friend now has a different truck from another company.

Ford Explorer-Gas hogs and are noisy :)

If it's not a Mac vs. PC war it's a Ford/Chevy/Dodge dust up.

FORD: Found On Road Dead, Fix Or Repair Daily, etc.

I used to own a '95 Ford Aerostar, drove that thing nearly into the ground.
