well, we women have so much more on our minds whilst driving...I drove
my darling '87 Corolla standard for so long, that when I decided to take
a road trip to New Brunswick & Nova Scotia, I rented a mid-size
something, fully loaded, no clue what all the buttons & bows meant. I
learned quickly about the OD button on the shift, never had one, didn't
need one, but apparently I hit one, sounded like we were going to
explode; quickly figured it out. My lovely '03 Corolla has one of
those OD things, I stay away; also has cruise control...must look that
up.
LOL Iove my OD switch! Gives you a nice push when you need it!
Especially
on icky roads.
Someday I'll tell you about how I couldn't start my VW squareback
because the steering wheel was locked, no one told me I had to turn the
wheel, then the key...back in the day, this was all new...a steering
wheel that locks?
Oh, you *have* to tell that story!

I can give you what's likely a better one Nat...friend of mine
had just taught his wife to drive and had warned her in no
uncertain terms about not running the engine if the oil pressure
light came on...(I'll just bet that a sharp gal like you is about
two steps ahead of me by now).
He was on a trip to Europe for a week and she had called a tow
truck to haul her car to the shop where they couldn't find any
problem and delivered it to her driveway. She called another tow
service next day (etc etc). apparently the total bill was a
couple hundred bucks (this was years ago)...hubby was not highly
pleased...
