Has anyone noticed that when you shift the shifter left and forward it makes the car go backwards. Shift left and backwards makes the car go forward……does anyone else other than me think that is backward?
If you were sitting in a little red wagon, and you reached ahead and grabbed a fence post, pushing forward on the fence post would make the wagon go backward, while pulling the fence post toward you would make your wagon go forward.
It is, what it is... I always thought reverse polish notation (RPN) was wacky on an HP engineering calculator, but it was called Polish for a reason. Sometimes when I need to work on German or EU equipment, I'll need to reverse the order of things - to understand how it's suppose to work. I still can't figure out who's brain is messed up - Let me know if you can figure it out.....
I know alot drivers I see on the roads these days who I wish would be sitting in a toy wagon pushing and pulling on a fence post far away from roads!
R is above N, and D is below N, just as it is on other automatic transmission shifters. The quirks that could make this seem off is that P is separate button and not above R, and the shifter not staying on the selected gear.
It’s the same pattern as a “3 on a tree” shifter from times passed but laid flat. Toyota has used this pattern on Prius since at least Gen2.
Bite your tongue, RPN was and is great, lol. Say for something like this: 8x(4+2) Which becomes: 4 ENTER 2 PLUS 8 TIMES An app I'm using on my phone, PCalc, free and fully functional, if you don't want some of the more obscure extras: Had a venerable HP RPN calculator, the landscape oriented one, very durable. Decided I wanted their "new and improved" version, portrait oriented, mostly plastic, which lasted just outa the warranty perion before it developed a locked, flashing display. It's around here, somewhere... And my old one, the durable/venerable one, I gave to my daughter, and it was promptly stolen from her locker at school.
Someone realized what it was; since it's only worth something to an old timer, collector. Everyone uses their phone and apps now. Kids don't even know how to correctly use a slide-rule or abacus anymore. Don't even get me started on making cash change. You don't use it; it turns to mush. I might have that problem, since I can't follow or understand what our current King is trying to say???
