When said customer gets his Wonderbar, he may realise that you might ought to watch what you ask for, because you might get it.

I donno, you get a good Wonderbar or find someone who knows how to service and tune them, they're not bad. I've had two and could not wait to get them out of the cars.

One in particular was horrible about never locking onto any frequency, and the only way to get it stop seeking was to shut the car off, as in key off and then restart the car. That would usually reset it to where you could use the pushbuttons or tuner ****.

My regular buds were used to it, but invariably if someone new was in the car, they'd say "what's this button do?" and before I could stop them, there went that Wonderbar merrily seeking a station to latch onto. I had to keep the glovebox locked to keep the trunklid from popping open going down the road, and I understood why Cadillac incorporated a power window lockout. Wish Olds had.
