Even some pretty intelligent people have the occasional lapse of logic. My father drove and fixed all sorts of cars and trucks, beginning in the mid-1930's. One day he needed to haul something, and I loaned him the Dodge Dakota I was driving at the time. When he returned it, he mentioned that he was not able to adjust the outside mirrors- - - - -"Can't find the switches anywhere!" "Uhhhh- - - -Dad- - - - -it doesn't have power mirrors! Just push on 'em!

These days a manual transmission is a pretty good anti-theft device.
