Well, I love driving. Passed my test (fourth attempt Lee) in 1968. HOWEVER - I got a new car a few weeks ago and it's scaring the shit out of me. It's the updated version of my last one so I thought life would be easy, BUT, since 10 years have passed since I got the other one, life has progressed and technology has taken over the car. I swear it's possessed by an alien trying to drive me insane, because it does things on its own - like turning on lights without me wanting it to. The other day the windscreen wipers began working spontaneously because a few spots of rain had started. Today's venture is unexpected noises to attract my attention and about 300 lights coming on to tell me I need petrol, despite the fact it says I can do another 15 miles. This is my seventh car and I've never read a car manual in my life but I have actually read the first 100 pages of this one (before giving up in despair). It has not so far offered to clean my teeth or make the dinner.
