At least you can “ choose” to go into 1st gear if you want. But still a shitty design. An that’s just my opinion. Someone out there may love this. An so be it. I’m not gonna hate. I just like the column or floor shifters for automatic trans or I’ll take the good ol stick shift just about any day!!

Hell im tryin to find the shifter for the Mercedes. That one is a real mind fuck. It’s on the steering column like a turn signal lever. An you gotta do all kinds of weird shit to get it into “park” which it reall don’t have. It’s kinda an auto feature that when you stop an shut it off it just goes into park. You don’t “shift” it into park.

If I had a car like that, I‘d be scared I‘d lose focus and hit the wrong button while driving

RIGHT!! I’d get confused with another type of vehicle an think it’s the turn signal or wipers. So instead of spraying the windows I’m spraying the ground with tranny guts, “I know that wouldn’t likely happen. But it’s still a scary thought”. An how are you doing today Mrs/Miss Aviva? Hope all is good in your bubble!

Duly noted. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t say the wrong thing, so I threw them both out there. I’m happy to know your bubble is interesting. That can mean its not boaring or in a rut. Mine is kinda both of them right now. Sucks but I put myself in that position so I can’t complain. But other than that, I still haven’t woke up dead yet. So I guess that means I still have some sort of purpose on this blue marble.

That‘s ok. I‘d say that it‘s kind of in a rut but by ‘interesting,‘ a few unusual things happen sometimes. How did you put yourself in that position? And I have that same motivation lol

I guess you can say I’m kinda like you in the way that when unusual things happen to me. I tend to see them as a little bit more special than the “normal” people do. I’m the one who will “dwell” on a flower that bloomed through a crack in the sidewalk, where others will go huh an then either step over or on the flower. Where I’ll actually take a pic an send it to others hoping to spread the cheer it has given me to others. As for getting into my rut. I’m letting A LOT of stuff that I can not change get to me. An it’s eating away at me. Stuff I know I should let go or accept but not doing either of that. Thus forming a dangerous rut that is gonna quite possibly be the end of me if I don’t snap out of it. So everyday that I crack open an eye, I accept it as a day to send that flower pic to others, an hope I make someone’s day better than mine!

I can relate to that. Are those stuff bad/painful things that happened? I‘ve been in a similar case. It made me not myself and my brother said I was seeing things out of sentiment. I had to say to myself ‘I choose to let these things go so I can be happy‘ over and over. And that‘s pretty selfless of you, but you still have to admit that you deserve better. I may not know all the details but I‘m confident that life has a lot of amazing things to look forward to. I‘ve got your back(if that means anything)

Well coming from a military/law enforcement background an hearing someone say they got my six/back means a lot. When it’s said it’s a big task to be taking ownership to. I very rarely except someone who says that, cause a lot of people talk shit an say it cause it’s cool like the movies. For some reason I felt comfortable when I read that, an feel that ya mean it. So thank you very much. An I got your six. I’m not gonna make you regret saying it. I try to tell myself that I do deserve to be happy. I of course get happy by making others happy but I get to caught up in doing that, that I don’t focus on making sure I try to make myself happy. The stuff was/is bad/ painful things that happened. It’s hard to let go of things you wish you could of done...... different. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to drag you into my Abyss of my life. But yeah I got a lot of demons I’m trying to take care of before they take care of me. Stuff I really don’t wanna make public.

I’m gonna try an keep fighting them as long as I can. But you just need to know if you need an ear or shoulder just holla an I’ll do what I can. I would give ya my email but don’t know how without making it public. I get enough spam from sites selling my info to junk places.

Ok and I did mean that. And I understand what you mean. There‘s no need to apologise though, I don‘t mind being dragged into your abyss. Well, you don‘t ever have to feel you have to fight your battles alone. I can always be your ear/shoulder if you need one too. And if you want to exchange contacts with anyone on here, tap their name. You should see a box that says ‘Share Contacts‘

A column shifter clutters the column and can injure you in an accident. Notice how cars try real hard over the years to have as few protrusions and sharp edges within the passenger compartment as possible? And a console shifter takes up space in the center console and obstructs throughput across the console. Fewer cars use an actual mechanical linkage for any control system except brakes. Parking brakes, throttle, transmission, even steering are “drive by wire” on many cars. There no reason to use a traditional mechanically leveraged shifter and the location can be anywhere because you’re tripping solenoids via CAN-bus. Moreover a shifter is a mechanical part that can wear, break, and need adjustment. The whole point of an automatic is that it is automatic. The goal is to have as little driver effort and input as possible and on an “average” drive most people don’t shift gears much at all in an auto. You may need to reverse when you park, other than that you leave it in drive 99%.

Buttons aren’t as bad as a knob, lot of supercars have buttons for park drive and reverse, it’s easy to use
