AM/FM radio was leading edge tech in vehicles when I was growing up. My brand
new shiny Toyota pickup has one of those screens in it. It shows a warning every time
I start the pickup. The warning says not to pay attention to the screen.

I have one of those warnings. It's the major reason for wanting a new
raido.

It makes me agree that the map might be wrong, EVERY time I start the
car. I want to tell it once and be done. Are some radios like that?

One feature that is nice is the cruise control. It uses radar to keep me from rear ending a slower driver if I catch up to them.

That's smart cruise. I have dumb cruise.

I listened to Click and Clack last night, and they said when there are
two jets to spray wash water on the windshield, one is ment to be
pointed up, so that it goes over your car and lands on the windshield of
a tailgater. I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds good. When the
snow melts off my car, I'll look.
