I have had several CD players and one DVD player fail (regular TV types) because they could no longer read disks. The major cause of this is the laser no longer being aligned properly. This is even more critical with a software disk, as it can't just skip over the bad parts like with a movie. Aren't you still under warenttee?

They haven't changed the body shape at all, including the mirrors, in all these generations? That is surprising. Most of the other SUVs are totally different sizes than they used to be.

470HI- I forgot to ask - Is your GX a 2006 (or a 2005, which I assume is almost exactly the same)? Want to compare apples to apples. Thanks.

Thanks. That sounds doable. No way will I be backing in though. Backing out is tough enough! B)

Do you put your GX470 in the garage every day? I have what I assume is a standard 2 car garage with standard garage doors, which I measure at about 95" wide at opening. There is a large metal pole between the two car bays, so the vehicle needs to go in straight. To make it a bit more complicated, you come up the narrow driveway, then have to backup for a 90 degree turn into the garages at the side of the house. Right now I am very adept at getting my 96XLT Ford Explorer into and out of the garage several times a day. The main difficulty is the mirrors. I can do it well, but it is close. I note that the specifications for my new GX470, due in a couple of weeks or so, are 4" wider than the Explorer. These numbers are all without the mirrors, so it is hard to tell where I am going to wind up. So, how easy is it for you all to get the GX in and out of the garage??? Easy enough to do it all the time?
