I know, right? The owner's manual from my old 300D is ~50 pages. The one from my '94 Buick is ~200 pages, the one from our '04 Corolla is ~290 pages, and the one from my mom's '08 Sienna is 500+ pages!

Something I've noticed is the newer owner's manuals seem to have been partially written by lawyers, because they are filled with warnings in yellow boxes that are usually something like, "Do not stick your head in the glovebox and then attempt to close the glovebox door. Serious injury or harm may result."

I mean, like, holy cow! I had n o i d e a that I shouldn't do that! No wonder my head hurts so much!
