I don't know if this has already been suggested/requested. (and I'm too lazy to search for that...) but....
Can I recommend on the 'Archive' and 'Technical' drop downs include the Directory for each as a drop down item? I've had to help people find the directory a few times because they don't know to click on 'Technical' or 'Archives'. People naturally assume that the drop down are the only items available under that topic.
Thanks for listening..... |

For those Archives and Technical, the links for the top level menu items "Archives" and "Technical" and the first sub menu items "Literature" and "Owner's Manuals" are the same link.

I have the same issue with my own web site (finally got tired of all the "how do I register my car?" emails and put a link on each registry page back to the main registry index page that contains the submission form). People do not understand the concept of hovering the mouse over the main headings and seeing at the bottom of the browser window that there is indeed a URL (i.e. an individual page) for each one. 
As far as I'm concerned, if one doesn't understand ^that concept, s/he needs to sign up for Internet 101.
