Do you get overwhelmed trying to understand your electronics ?

Shit with new TV's,cars,cameras,phones,GPS,etc..., it gets ridiculous.

Your TV doesn't come with an instruction sheet, it's more like a 200 page book nowadays.

Every one of these things is complicated beyond belief. I have to try and figure this stuff out for my much dumber wife, all the time.

The other day she asked me how to unlock the used (2000) truck I bought, answer is stick the key in the door and turn clockwise.

hno:

I got a VW Jetta to drive for about a month, when wife almost totalled the Accord ( a few years ago), never did figure out a lot of things on that temporary car.

my dvd player got smoked and purchased a new one, can only watch movies in black and white. gotta call the guy that put the flat screen in to come and hook it up correctly as i've got a dvd, direcTV tuner, radio tuner all hooked together. Shit is too complicated for me.

Maybe... whatever its the low trim level (XL) Ford, you actually stick the key in the door and turn it, what a novel concept !

I have a couple of gripes about an XL level F-150, owned a 1993, and now a 2000.

It should have a power windows standard since its too big a reach to crank a window closed when entering a highway.

I totally don't get having a radio with a cassette only player in a 2000 vehicle.

This truck has a lot of other stuff. AC,remote start,Cruise control,etc.

It needs power windows and a CD player, IMO.

Overall even a low level (XL) F-150 is nice to drive, I feel very safe in it, as a 4X4, if you rear end this truck of mine, you probably total your Honda Civic, while I barely feel it.

I like a big Ford truck, but they have room for improvement, or maybe you have to buy the higher trim-level. I am fine with a used truck, and live with minor BS.

There are too many sensors and shit now. Wife has a 2007 CR-V, damn sensor says tire pressure is low ( because its cold, I presume). She wants to trade it in for a 2008 because of that. So, I have to add two pounds of air to the tires, I'd rather it didn't tell me this.
