The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 12, 2022

Art imitates life. My car operates off GoogleAutomotive. The touch screen in the car can do the search and it can also be done by voice command.

Is that so you can do a check engine search?

see…shoulda bought the extended warranty…they only called you 1000 times!

The new cars are really getting technical!

Too muck tech. Cars are less fun.

With all the fancy electronic doodads, there’s practically a “googol” number of things the problem could be. (Better check the gas tank gauge first.)

Is it an electric car?

I remember the first ‘multi-screen digital dash nightmare’ I drove. It was a rental. My passenger did something that turned the radio and air-conditioned up full blast. It was the middle of the winter. We actually had to pull off the road and get out the owners manual to try and shut both off. Owner’s manual helped very little.

If it was Zebedees car, would he be using Boing?

Update and reboot. I knew you were in a hurry.

So glad I still have a 1993 [last model year] Volvo 240 SW. Video was taken 4 years ago:

Must be a Tesla.

You can get Google built into your dash now?

“check engine” light has to be one of the least informative instruments ever put in an automobile. (it can be anything from a loose gas filler cap to the valves are about to seize.)

The warning light means that you need to search for your engine. Somebody stole it.

A well placed piece of tape will fix that check engine light.

You were supposed to press the “any” key.

The new Google car, won’t start if you have an iPhone in it.
