I restarted it ONCE and decided this wasn't for me. I have cars that won't let you have the keys until you turn them off all the way. I'm OK with that. except for the AE86, on which the key - singular- is so worn it almost falls out regardless of key position. It took me a week to figure out why the radio was staying on. It's because it's a manual, and you have to do the extra thing to actually get the key to "off", and I was just going to accessory and removing the key.)

MrLogan posted:There are even people who still smoke cigs in TYOOL 2024 As he pulled up, noticed a guy outside the office smoking. Approached the door and smoking guy said "Oh, you must be Mr. Guywithappointment! I'm Joe, the advisor." Chatted for a minute and basically said something like "if you make such bad decisions for yourself that you still smoke in this day in age, I cannot trust you to make good decisions with my life savings." and left.

Have some respect, that cop will have given his life so they can tack a murder charge on to the suspect of the high speed chase they instigated.

I do the "we're not going anywhere until you put it on" thing in my car.

Maybe he did? I don't know. Sounds assholish, especially since it obviously has nothing to do with someones slave to drug addiction, but I also get where its coming from... assuming it even happened.

A touch late to the interlock chat but how about this: Not allowing wipers (auto or otherwise) to turn on while the drivers door is open when starting the car. Everyone who's ever lived in a snowy area knows the feeling of jumping in the car, door still open, to start it up and get defrosters going, only to have the snow on the windshield trigger the auto wipers and push a huge pile of snow over the a-pillar and into the car. Or say, you left the wipers on when you parked in the non-auto wiper example. CMON!!!

Hondas (at least my 2017 accord and 2016 odyssey) have an interesting feature where if the wipers are set to intermittent, they will always initiate at least one full sweep when you come off the brake from a stop. The rear wiper will turn on continuously if the front wipers are on at any speed / frequency and you shift into reverse. Handy, but was confusing the first few times it happened.

Oh one other auto wipers necessity - add a moisture sensor somewhere on the front of the car, not just the optical sensor on the glass. Drive for 50 miles in gnats or something and one big one triggers the wipers and smears them all over the glass. As pinpoints they're nearly invisible, but one swipe of the wipers converts them to a lens covered in Vaseline.

Is this why they laid a bunch of people off by just Disabling badges at midnight? Night shift guys really got a shock trying to come back in from a 2am smoke break.

When I activate the windshield cleaner spray on my Toyota it will spray fluid on the window, run the wipers through three cycles, wait 5 seconds for the windshield to dry, then run the wipers an extra cycle. Annoying as hell if I'm not trying to use the spray in rainy weather.

I hate the courtesy wipe. It re-smears the windscreen.
