I think Black Beauty described it best. When you hold it down, it's the "I want to go fast NOW" button

As hard as it takes off, I wouldn't be surprised to see a little flame out of the tailpipe

Kick the tires and light the fire

Ah, the memories, '71 Eldorado, '74 Fleetwood, '68 Ford LTD, '74 Lincoln Towncar, all gas hogs and big as boats but so smooth was the ride.

I bought the 74 Lincoln in 1996 with 42K original miles on it. Mint condition and all I added was a new set of tires on it. It drove like a dream but finally got to where I couldnt keep a starter on it. I finally sold it but it served me well for my $1500 investment at the time.

That's got to be it. 89, 99, 02, and 06 for me. They have all went up 1 MPH for each press of the button.

They usually go up 1MPH and down 2MPH per press.

Nope, from testing, it is 1 MPH/Press, up or down.

I traded a POS PT Cruiser for my HHR. The CC on the Cruiser would gear the transmission down when going down a hill to keep the speed from running past the mark I set.

Want a real rush? Accelerate up to about 70mph and set the cruise, then tap the brakes and slow down to around 30mph, drop it into 'I" gear and hit the resume button. Hang on to your vitals as they will try to escape thru the back hatch

Thats why Viagra dont work for me anymore

Another fun way is to set the cruse for 60 mph. tap the brake, when you approch a upgrade ( hill for non ex truck drivers) hit the resume at around 55 mph then hold on...
