Yup, that was me.  It's the b-pillar tape, it's been replaced once on the 
passenger side already, and I'm awaiting more to replace it again.  The 
dealer offered to leave it off, but I like the flat-black look.  Maybe 
they could paint it instead (did that on my last car & it stood up great).

As for the 'Groaring' noise, I think it's neat.  Sounds like the car is 
just tired and gives a big sigh.  My wife & I get a kick out of it every 
time -- usually compliments our moods.

Here's a new one, probably for all ti & is owners: Drove down to Boston 
last week for Macworld, and I had the windows down & sunroof open for the 
morning while it was cooler.  Stopped at a rest area and decided to open 
the two rear vent windows, got back on the highway, hit a small bump, 
FWUMP!, FWUMP!  They both closed!  Pieces of sh**, I said.  Here's the 
deal: both windows were open and in their 'locked' position -- I'm 
positive.
