A brother of mine worked his way through school using his advanced higher rating as a top rated Life-Guard, at a very exclusive high end resort every summer. Some of the members were from other countries, all drove very expensive vehicles. One day my brother was talking to a young adult and he mentioned that he had noticed the vehicle that this person drove (a high end sports car) and asked him how long he had it and how he liked it. He said that he had it two years but that he did not like it because it drove like a truck. My brother was surprised by that comment and asked him to explain what he meant by it. He said that the steering wheel was way up by the dash and awkward to turn. My brother asked him to show it to him. He opened the drivers door for my brother and said see. My brother got in, sat down and hit the lever to adjust the tilt steering to the proper angle. The owner of the car asked him " what did you just do to the steering wheel".

He had been driving that vehicle for over two years with the steering wheel in the up position.
 
LOL... I've had a saying for years.. "the nicer the car the dumber the driver"

This is similar to Ben Affleck's dilemma when he was recently stuck in traffic because he did not know how to push the E Brake release.

Proof that people don't read the owner's manual.
 
no wonder our race is heading towards a hot place in a hand basket.
Cities should be built like in the old days, where you walk everywhere. That way there would be no obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, etc., society would be rich because it wouldn't be wasting TRILLIONS on oil wars, and not be able to afford looking after its own citizens when they get sick. Plus, we would be able to afford to build an excellent mass transit system with all the saved money, and then people wouldn't even have to walk, except for enjoyment.
