This Is Really Bothering Me!!!

This is obviously your attempt at gag thread because if it isn't you would be locked in a medical facility where you would not be allowed to use the internet.

 

Yes, beat me to it! First thing in my mind. Haha.

I’ve got a PRNODD21 in my car.

The OD and D thing always bothered me. Why not just PRND321. Ah well.

 

Yeah, it should be a vertical column like the way the volume buttons should be oriented. “L” at the top for “lots” and NM at the bottom for “Not Much.”

 

I always figured that the turn signal stalk was placed there because of manuals being the predominant configuration back in the day.

would be quite a challenge to hit your turn signal if it was located on the right side while you need to shift as well.

as for the up/down directionality...it lines up with the (counter)clockwise direction of the wheel as you turn.

what really gets me is the clock. why would i need to know what time it is when i have a watch and smart phone already? It should be a countdown so i can time my 0-60 while fully loaded.

 

Maybe the turn single switch should come out of the center of your steering wheel and you can use your mouth to toggle it.

 

I wanted to add that but thought it might take away from the Fridayness of my thread.

 

I always thought the best transmission selector went like this 1-N-2-3-4-5-6 and was operated with your left foot.

 

I wasn't gonna drink tonight.....but this thread.....fuhgit..!

 

same honestly I've always had this issue and I thought I was the only one

 

That is a lot of work put in on a Friday. You are my hero for your dedication.

 

I get confused by this too

My last ride didn't have this "reverse" mode.

I assumed it was the ctrl+Z of the car world. It was not.

 

My God man... how old are you?
