What? I have to use a KEY?

recalcitranttoyHeh...after driving a Prius for so long, it's now quite an interesting event to drive a different car. The Prius is out of inspection, and I didn't notice, so rather than drive it like a nitwit and risk a ticket, I took my "baby" 97 Jag. First, I looked for the power button. Oh dear, it doesn't have one. How will I ever start the car? Oh, a KEY! How quaint. Upon starting the car up and putting it in reverse, I notice a strange thing.....several choices of gears. Whatever shall I do NOW? I chose the "R" to back out of the driveway and looked at the dash for the back up camera and....well there just wasn't any! I had to...get this...TURN AROUND in order to back out. Well, after I figured that part out, perhaps I should program the GPS since I don't know where I'm going. But wait...it's not where I thought it would be. It was this strange little doo dad with an Australian accent that kept saying "recalculating" when I didn't go where he thought I should.
Ok, got that part sussed... now it was time to make a phone call. But wait...there was no hands free I could discern. Not wanting to actually put the handset to my EAR while driving (horrors), I figured out that the GPS has a hands free feature. The good part about that (unlike the Prius) is that once you pair the two, the Nuvi grabbed the phone book directly off of the phone. How lovely is THAT? So I called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
exsmof who was still awake. But, he couldn't hear me very well, and I couldn't hear him very well. I couldn't seem to find that little thing called volume control.
Ah the fun. The CDs had different music on them (win). And it had this other button I was confused by. It said "Roof." Good thing I had my baseball hat and glasses, eh? Much stronger air conditioning fan than the Prius. W00t!
