LOL, I've had my wife for 8 years now. Now that she's kinda broken in I have noticed certain things also. Here are my experiences.
When the mouth is above 2 WPM I start thinking about my truck. It's not that I've noticed it myself, but I was told so, er screamed at a few times for it. At low speeds she starts getting winded or out of breath and a loud wheezing noise starts to sound. There is no high speed. sometimes her eyes look blank when I am talking to her so I don't know if she is understanding what I am saying.
LOL, my truck is doing great though, even though I think I did fry my alternator the other day playing in mud puddles. I will change that out soon though.
I will not say anything about the new girlfriend smell to her, but I kinda like it. All of this just kidding.
I agree about the new car smell being just glue and not being any good for you at all, If I ever buy a brand new vehicle again, I will get it cleaned up very good just to get rid of that smell.

I had my 07 for a month and I am already hearing noises coming the the drivers and passenger door. It's like a ticking or clicking type of noise.

6 months, wait till you hit 36k
this is a quote from John M
Right at 36k miles you hear the losing music from The Price is Right. Engine seals give way, hoses split, and all 4 tires go flat. As a final insult, the cupholder gets stuck in the closed position. So much for that warranty!
HA love that one, good thing i have a center console so my cupholder cant get stuck.
btw I hate the new car smell, i left the windows down at night, left a pizza hut pizza in its box in the cab over night, took a good month to get rid of it.
as far as the loud sound with the windows down, are you just having the rear windows down, because that will cause a pressure imbalance and will put pressure on your ear drums and make it seem like youre feeling a subwoofer, youll also hear a low wooomp sound, thats common in most vehicles, if i ride with the windows down, i always keep the rear windshield open as well.

Man after hearing all of these problems with peoples rams and me having to take my RAM twice to the dealership for electrical problems and I have only had it for a month, I am starting to regret buying it. Don't get me wrong, I love the truck but I am starting to get a little worried now.

It must be the "big horn" edition. The only diff is i have a diesel not a hemi. Anyone ever drive with the windows down. I have this loud deep bass sound when i do.
