Our first night in Texas was a lesson in Uber. We have taken Uber before, but not to this extent. Im preparing for old age fro when the boys take away my drivers license. It was painless and pleasant. But when we got the rental car lot, we had to pick out our car, we picked a red Toyota Yaris. The problem was that it took us 20 minutes to figure out how to start the car. OK, for those of you who are not familiar with us, our cars have keys and were built in the 90's. She keeps saying she wants a car built in this century.
Lesson 1: Keep the FOB close by, and yes there is no key. Make sure the gear is in Park. Press on the brake pedal. Push the start button. I miss my key.
Lesson 2: The radio controls are not on screen. They are either on the steering wheel or on the center counsel below the shift knob. When did they move the volume knob? At least it is still a knob.
Digital odometers do not measure in anything below full miles. Analog odometers have a wheel for tenths of a mile. When google tells you that the next turn is in .7 miles, you can't judge by the odometer.
Lesson 4: I actually qualify for senior discounts!! Hey, I save my $1. I gladly admit I qualify to get my dollar discount. I am more used to people holding doors open for me. Wait, they asked me if I was a senior, does that mean I look like one?
