All the new cars have this keyless system. You can start the car before you get in, tap the key pouch or whatever they call it and the engine revs up! If that isn’t scary, I don’t know what is.
This year was a hard year as far as my car was concerned. I had problems, two major ones and I had to step back and decide if I should give it up, trade it in for a new car. I did do that or was about to do that. Let me tell you, the experience wasn’t a pleasant one. We went to two or three dealerships, a friend and I, and it was mind-boggling. I saw some really nice cars but all with the keyless function. Add “hybrid” to that and my whole being rebeled automatically. I’m not equipped for new technology. It seemed I had no choice. I asked if I could get one that started the old-fashioned way, with a key no less!
The guy shook his head. “It is so easy, once you get used to it you wouldn’t want to go back.” Hmm….but I want what I want. No can do. So I stepped into one to do a test drive. It started when I held that thingamagig to the start knob, I think that is what I did. It revved up. My heart jumped and wanted to run away from that place! I took a deep breath and we took off. It drove like a dream and I felt good driving that car. Inside my “tech demon” was jumping up and down. It hates all things new and kept screaming, “STOP IT! You and this car don’t jive.” I went against what it had to say and decided to buy the car. Two weeks later, I had to sign the contract and this new “tech” machine would be all mine. An hour before, I backed out. The “tech demon” had been working hard and it gave me the pros and cons. I must say it had some good points. One of them being, “Don’t expect me to get in that car with you!”
So I got my current car repaired at a huge expense and it is running fine. Tech demon is happy as well. Here’s the thing, the keystart method is still there if you find an older model and at a used price. Most new cars have a whole new technology going.
I know Elon. You think different but you’d never catch me in a Tesla! Why? The “tech demon” has been giving me pointers on that one too. It is enough to make you want to go back to when cars took you from Point A to B and didn’t have all the gadgets they do now. My current car has them too, I use some but I don’t know how the rest works! It is there for decorative purposes, nothing more, nothing less. That is my opinion and I will stand by it.
You think I have problems with men. I’m on the same path with technology as well, anything new that is!
