Oh... it wouldn't matter. The bed could be 30 feet wide and I'd still end up with a little over a foot of space to sleep on. Everytime I get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, and then come back to bed, my wife is laying in the middle of the bed with her knee poked out another foot or so. I would guess I have about16-20 inches in mattress width to work with. This is on a Queen size bed
 
Use your hands as a forklift and roll her over gently

I would guess that there was possibly a transmission service, a fuel filter change , and lubing the ball joints and steering linkage if need be.
 
hahahaha.
 
You are just too used to Ford trucks, joel.
 
Remind me to get my dealer's little propaganda pamphlet on their "recommended services" and show it to you. You may be shocked at how much they tell folks to spend on their cars. And the amount that is charged just for "inspecting" things is truly disgusting.

He offered to put them on for me at the hobby shop or at my driveway
It pays to take care of your service advisors and techs.
 
I do that all the time. When I take my car in for service, I just tell the service advisor to do it on the side, which turns out to be a lot cheaper.

that is fine. the question is how good of a voice recognition system is it?
 
I have the voice activated dialing on my cellphone and it takes 3 or 4 times for it to understand who I am trying to call. Very hard if the car is going on a rough road or wind noise.

The VRS is outstanding, you don't have train it and it understands English, Spanish, and Canadian French.

Okay, I gotta ask .. what's the difference between Canadian French and French French?
 
"Oui, eh, hoser"?
 
(apparently, I've got too much time on my hands this Friday afternoon)
 
Hope y'all are able to close the month strong!

It sounds better than the Jag system. We had a trainer here with a new car last week and I tried it out. The English woman kept saying "sorry", everytime I gave it a command.

And you expected to hear what? You know you can't give them commands, you can only request...

I rarely have problems with the Land Rover VRS and it should be about the same as your jag system.
 
Did you have it set to American Male?

This was on the new XF, it was a preproduction car. I expect the ones we get will be much better because I never have trouble with the VRS we install now.
