The perils of a touchscreen...
I accidentally nicked the edge of my car's touchscreen with a ceramic planter. That caused a tiny crack in the corner. The display is fine, no visual glitching. But the touch sensitivity has gone insane and the screen is now picking up random clicks everywhere, as fast as it can sense them. It's adjusting the heat up and down as fast as it can, changing radio stations and the volume. While I was sitting in it a minute ago, it opened the glovebox and started changing the screen colors. I wanted to see it change the mirrors, but I gave up because it had turned the seat warmer on high and I couldn't take the heat.
So it's undriveable.
Service can't get it in till the 19th.
Sweet.
That’s what ya get for giving the Marx Brothers a ride in your car down to the duck soup dispensary:

Artificial mayhem.
Will your insurance cover this hilarity? Or did they have a sanity clause inserted into the small print?

that guy (Dean Winters) is so funny. we just started watching 30 Rock again and he’s the boyfriend in the first season. hilarious.
Touchscreens in cars that control everything are an abomination. Give me lovely tactile knobs and switches any day of the week.
man, i miss the Marx Bros.. used to watch them every Christmas season with my dad.
Touch screen controls in an automobile is the worst fucking idea I have ever heard of. There is no tactile feedback, and you have to take your eyes off the road to use it.
I miss knobs, and will not drive a car that does not offer them as controls.
Also, too, get off my lawn.
