My 22 year old Astra is the most automated car I've ever driven, including later model rentals. It won't let you remove the key unless the transmission is in park. Won't move out of park unless the brake is being pushed. Beeps like mad if you open the door with the lights still on. Probably standard on most cars these days.

That first sentence on this subject was just that my daughter, only yesterday, told me that the transmission selector in the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach 1 which she is intending to order has that arrangement.

Interesting that this article should pop up today. Ever since I've had a licence, I've driven cars with the turn indicator stalk on the right of the steering wheel.

It gets weirder. I located his entry in the Members list in this forum, but AircraftPilots came up with No Record found, even though there is a Community Map Marker for him there.

I've mentioned a few times how the AI powering closed captions on TV is often hopeless. On Weekend Sunrise this morning, Channel 7 crossed to Washington a number of times, where their reporter in America, Mylie Hogan, (grand daughter of Paul Hogan), was reporting on gunshots at the White House while Trump was inside. On at least 8 occasions when the hosts referred to her, closed captions had her as Molly Hogan. Only once did it get it correct.

Boomers, or baby boomers, are the generation born between 1946 and 1964, after WWII. Baby boomers are the demographic cohort preceded by the Silent Generation and followed by Generation X.

Spot on Marty.
