Sometimes power just flippin’ sucks with a capitol “S”. I’m talking about power options, like power windows and all the gadgets on the inside of the car including most of all power seats! My cushy power seat motor just went out this week, that’s great especially when the kids had maneuvered it closer to the steering wheel…so close that I can’t even fit between the seat and the steering wheel to drive it.

Sometimes power just flippin’ sucks with a capitol “S”. I’m talking about power options, like power windows and all the gadgets on the inside of the car including most of all power seats! My cushy power seat motor just went out this week, that’s great especially when the kids had maneuvered it closer to the steering wheel…so close that I can’t even fit between the seat and the steering wheel to drive it.

What ever happened to all those non-power options ya know?

When I was a kid there was a little bar that stuck out from the bottom of the seat and if you wanted to move the seat, all you had to do was just raise it up. My car even has one of those buttons that adjusts the air in the seat to keep my butt comfy. I guess that’s what I get for going hi-tech…a 2002 model at that.

Why is it that I have a Ford Van, a Mercury mini van, a Crown Victoria and an Oldsmobile that I have no trouble with at all, the newest one by the way is a ’93 model out of all four of ‘em.

Leave it to Chevrolet!

Anyway, now I have no clue as to how much it’s gonna cost me to get the seat fixed but I already know that it’s more than likely going to be $100 and then some. And it’s a 2002 for crying out loud, Grrrrrr! I could understand if it was one of the other cars but I think this is a perfect example of…they just don’t build autos like they used to.

Have you ever noticed that every car show you see has old and I mean older car models, some from the 1920’s that will forever run better than any modern piece of crap I can find. My parents had a Datsun and you know what those were like, little balls of metal rolled up to resemble a car that used blender parts to run on.

If I concentrate real hard I can still feel the sound vibrate through my butt. I thought my dad was foreign for years because while we had that car all I ever saw was the whites of his eyes, until one day he actually sold it!

I can’t imagine who would have ever paid for that car but I’m sure the damn thing is still running, I’ll probably see it one day before I die and it will be some die hard Datsun fan driving around like a luxury sedan…wouldn’t that just be ironic! Oh well, I suppose there are worse things in life and right now I’m just having problems thinking of those.

At least the Datsun didn’t have a motor to screw with to move the seat.
