Yes, because they are all part of the Western Region.

i almost bought one in Oakland with PA. i guess it must had been a special order and the buyer cancelled. it's an expensive option and probably won't be used much.

I have the Park Assist and Pre-collision/Radar cruise and I don't know how I ever lived without them in my previous cars. My garage is kinda tight because of the storage cabinets in the front of the garage and with the Park Assist I can park perfectly every time allowing myself enough room in front of the car to move about freely. The Radar Cruise is also really cool too and amazes me how well it works even around twisties.

I bought my F in NC and it has PA (enough abbreviations? ). I think the other three on the dealer lot had PA also. I find it useful at times but definitely not necessary...I wouldn't have bought PA if the car was special ordered. I *do* however wish I had bought the ipod adapter.

The radar cruise option is interesting (I don't have it) but I'm thinking it would have been a pricey waste of time for me. I like driving the car so damn much that I rarely use cruise control anyway.

The cruise radar feature on cars is a major irritant. You're cruising along at 70, somebody behind you with with radar has theirs set on 80, they come up behind you and slow down, tagging behind you when you're not wanting to be part of a caravan processional. You speed up, they speed up, you slow down they slow down.

There's two things I wish would go away, this and fog lights. If you're not driving in a fog, turn them off!

How do you know it's not the driver doing it? Not all cars have radar cruise.

You're right of course. You don't know. And people do that.

But if you hang an empty vending machine on the wall, someone is going to put a quarter in it just to find out what it sells.

Better yet, "You don't know what you don't know"

Yeah sadly, there are all kinds of drivers out there. It's good to be smart and defensive no matter what the conditions.

In this tough economy, I really doubt anyone is willing to gamble their hard earned money on curiosity.
