I like that idea for cars. In the dark when I'm driving, I never really know if I'm going to end up locking the doors, opening any of the four windows, or adjusting the outside mirrors! I remind myself of John Candy trying to adjust the cars seat in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

And don't get me started on those steering wheel stalks. Push it forward, pull it back, push it up, pull it down, Twist band #1 (up or down of course), or band two. Push the button on the end. Flip the little twisty lever. That's not enough for some cars ... they put in more than one stalk! I can handle my own cars that I'm familiar with. But rentals?!

I've learned to take my own flashlight and go over rental cars completely before moving an inch. I had one rental car where it started getting dark and I couldn't find the headlights. Nor the dome light switch. I had to pull over and open the door to get the dome light to come on to see what I needed. And I struggled with one trying to find the parking brake release. Didn't have one. It was automatic when you put it into gear. How would I know that? This was a long time ago when I was young and stupid. Now I'm just old and stupid, but I know enough to learn the controls of the rental you're driving. Cars controls are more varied than they used to be.

End of rant. I think I'll try that velcro trick on the drivers side doorlock, window and mirror controls however. Good idea!
