Thats a sensor that alerts the coffee-master as you pullup at Starbucks that a master-poser has arrived

Its not a button, its an ambient air temperature sensor.

Also often seen on Alfas (like the 156).

LOL!

Although I must point out, while in Philly, we had Starbucks prepared by one a few Coffee Masters.. and I could taste no difference between what he brewed and the shit coming out of the vending machine down the hall...

^^^ very true! and as for this whole master-poser thing RC... you've gotta get over this whole hate for anything ferrari, or more expensive then what you can afford, kinda getting old. imagine if in every post, someone talked about how much they hate the C5 Z06, it would annoy you, me, and most of the other people who read thro this forum.

What's there to hate about the Z06?

Neema, you gotta have a sense of humor, or else you're just a poser who likes to ride ferrari's dick...

Dutch... i have a great sense of humor, so kiss my ass

RC... i drive an Audi A4, just like it says in my posts. and im not saying people dont clown on the corvette, god knows they have reason to (just like people have reasons to clown ferraris sometimes) but you are constantly putting down ferraris and other italian exotics because they cost more then your car and are slower. i see you doing it all the time.
