From the looks of all those idiots lights on, the least of your worries is the "possible ice", or the light switch.........

I once rented one of those stupid PT Cruiser things (all the normal cars left had Ohio plates and I had to go to Ann Arbor, so I didn't think that was good). My kids cracked up an thought I turned "rainbow" on them, so it was at least worth that laugh.

It was night when I picked it up. It took me 20 minutes to find anything, only after I looked through the manual. The controls were all on the console between the seats and had funny pictures instead of letters or words.

It's funny, I grew up in the UP which is a long way from Ohio, but we were all taught that Ohio drivers were the worst in the country.
I guess it's just a Michigan thing; I know that people in Ohio had nothing but respect for us:-P

We picked up the rental care at SeaTac at night and got to the exit booth. How to roll down the windows? No idea. Looked in all the usual places. Nothing. Then the man in the booth held up a sign that said, "Between the seats." Since he had the sign ready I gather it was a common problem. That's when we learned to figure out where everything was before we moved the car.

This is quite a coincidence. I bought a new Silverado around Thanksgiving and last night was our first cold weather below 32. This morning when I started it up I got the same message about possible ice. I had no idea it could even measure the temperature.

The younger generation seems to think that just because you can make it different it must be better. The Microsoft mindset.

Myself, I think having the window control by the window makes a lot of sense, and I would rather make the decision as to when the lights go on and off.

And get off of my lawn!

You better get on to the gas station pretty quickly, you've only got a quarter of a tank left!

Perhaps you have thought of this. But you may find your answers in the "Book of Knowledge" found in the glove box. Sometimes referred to as an owner's manual. 🙂

In case you are wondering, the M is for "Muddin", and you have to say that with your best southern drawl.

I'm sure you're pulling our legs, but M is for manual shift.

I doubt Scott has much use for a "Muddin" gear. But with all the foot-traffic in NYC is could mean "Mosey".

"... M is for manual shift."

WHAT! You must be kidding! Why? Is there a manual shift lever?

This mission of headlight control is too important to be fouled up by humans, especially surveyor humans.

Technically, yes. Shift the lever to the M position and then you can manually shift via a +/- rocker switch on the shift lever.

What did you do, Dave? Turn the camera upside down for this shot?

Scott, there probably is not a headlight switch.

The Chevy trucks have had daytime running lights standard for quite a few years.
The headlights automatically come on when the light sensor tells them to and they automatically go off when you shut your truck off. Best thing since sliced bread!!

Your very fortunate the taxpayers are not frugal with their money....wait that didn't come out right. Well anyway - you got the idea.

No, we hung the chair from the ceiling then used contact cement to hold me in the Chair and Jameson too.

(That picture is not on my iPad so I must've used a digital camera which plays well with Beerleg)
