Topix Underground

The first time I drove my wife's car I almost had to call for help. First off, there was no key. That took a while. Then there's that bit where it shut itself off at stop signs. My entire driving experience is based on managing anxiety of stalling at stop signs by having a foot on the brake and gas pedal simultaneously when not in motion because I have been driving cars that might break down at any moment since...well...always.  The long and short of it is that replacing the starter and TWO batteries ($500) becomes part of 'regular maintenance'. And then there's the completely unecessary, confusing and distracting video screen for the driver to attend to instead of the road ahead.
