    The problem in many of today's vehicles is that they are using old cpu processor and or way too much crap in the start up menu.

    but they worst, the absolute WORST. was when back up a trailer with the bronco. parking space is tight so routinely when backing up a trailer to park i will open the drivers door slightly so i can lean out and look back, i was doing this as i have for years in other trucks and suv,s and the Bronco stopped. it took me a second to realize. as soon as i opened the door it put itself in park.

    I prefer my 90's vintage dumb vehicles. They suit my personality.

    saw a wheel off the other day on the drive home. It was the left front tire. Maybe a snow tire all studs sheered off. It is more likely the left side wheels will come off because direction off the tire rotation is opposite to the right hand thread on the wheel nut. tire direction will spin the nuts loose during rotation...something to keep in mind if you install your own snows...

    Saw somebody changing a tire in a left turn lane yesterday. That was a first.

    People have zero common sense.
