    How many of you have turned on the 4-way flashers adjusting the fan control (in a manual ECS)? I seem to do it about 3-4 times a week!

    Not I. I did once engage 4wd instead of A/C.

    Oh for a real 4wd with 3 shift levers. Another sign of the deterioration of society :(

    Yeah, in the beginning I almost engaged 4WD instead of fan speed but soon it becomes muscle memory.

    I do it regularly by accident. The plus is that it is in a really good place to use when you want to. I've noticed that some semi truck drivers will put on their flashers when people in front of them in traffic brake hard. They do this to warn people behind them to brake early enough. I've started pushing the flashers for a couple seconds in traffic every day when people slam on the brakes in front of me. It really has kept people from running into me/ escaping to the shoulder. I've even seen some people copying me now after they see me do it!:)
