    Let's see now - I have a PhD, am a pubished author, teach college level classes including Critical Thinking, get invited to academic conferences, AND JUST YESTERDAY I DISCOVERED WHERE THE CUP HOLDERS ARE IN A CAR I HAVE HAD FOR TWO YEARS! Another Psycho Ninja moment.

    Lilienne is going to have a field day with this one.

    I know the feeling, I'm useless with cars, I still cannot use the cruise control or the fog lights after nearly a year! I was once asked about my car, the only thing I could think of to say was- It's blue!!!

    Well I just discovered my computer has a cup holder. You just press a button on the, the...whatever it's called,,,the big thing with all the wires coming out of it, and just like that a cup holder slides out. It's so handy.

    I tried that same sort of cup holder thingy as well.
    But my cup kept falling through the hole in it, and it kept sliding in and out for some reason.

    At least at this time next week I will be in Albuquerque having a small vacation. I wonder what I'll discover before then?

    When I first bought my Trans Am I was figureing whats what in it and I managed to turn on the emergency flashers, and I couldn't figure out how I did it or how to turn them off. there I was sitting in front of a convience store with the lights blinking for about 20 minutes. Luckly someone with a Camaro pulled up alongside me, and I asked them how to turn them off. Turns out all i had to do was pull up on the button which is right on top of the sterring column, then let it snap back down. Geez it was so easy, yet I couldn't figure it out. I almost felt embarrassed.

    I'm still learning new things about my car all the time, although finding the cup holders is usually the first thing I do

    Sorry - no cup holders for me - I'm left handed and I hate spilling drinks in my lap
