Spoiled!

[kimgh]

My Prius is in the shop for body repairs: I backed into somebody last week (my bad!) and then my son knocked a ladder over on to the car. So: out for repairs till Friday, I'm told.

So I'm in a DUMB rental car. No cruise control, manual locks, no NAV, no SKS, no AUX in on the audio, no automatic A/C, and no mileage display. I used to drive a car like that, and now I don't know how I ever got along!

The gearshift lever is in the wrong place, as is the emergency brake. I keep forgetting to get the key out to turn on the car, and then try to push the nonexistent button while pushing on the brake pedal. Half the time, I push on the brake pedal even when I turn the key! I tend to leave the key in the door when I unlock it, forgetting that I need it to start the car! Ugh!

I WANT MY PRIUS BACK!

Only two more days; it's a struggle to wait!

OK, I got it back today, good as new. Crisis averted, and I have it for the weekend.

The shakes are over!
