Um, turn in your consumer card. Doritos are corn chips, lays are potato chips. Cool ranch is a flavor. Frito lay owns both. Self promotion. This is marketing 101.

Lucy has said that she and her husband don’t have assigned cars. It’s based on need.

My parents were the same way and Lucy & husband are the only other couple I’ve heard of that did this.

Like when I was a kid they had a motorcycle (most fuel efficient) that only Dad rode, a small car (medium fuel efficiency) and a station wagon (least fuel efficient). If the weather was good Dad took the motorcycle to work and Mom used the small car unless she needed the big one. If the weather was bad Dad took the small car and Mom took the big one. Occasionally on the weekend if Dad had a project involving a large amount of supplies he’d take the station wagon since it could haul a lot more cargo.

it takes a lot of seat and mirror adjustment for me to drive after my wife

We just drive whichever car is most convenient. Mostly we’re shuttling kids around these days so it’s often the minivan. I usually ride my bike to work, and weaselette mostly works from home, so we don’t drive all that much anyway.

Does your car not have memory seats?

My car scans my face and adjusts my seat to my settings.

I do have to adjust the mirrors if anyone else drives it though. I don’t know why memory mirrors aren’t also a thing.

Some cars have this.

Mine has neither.

We do this. I’m more likely to take the SUV and he’s more likely to take the minivan, but we both just grab one based on convenience often as well. One is parked out front of the house and the other is out back in the garage.

Teslas have memory seats, mirrors, steering wheel adjustment, climate control, and audio. Oh, plus drive settings like sport/comfort (or whatever it’s called) and braking settings. It’s pretty neat.

Our van has memory seats and side mirrors. Central rear-view is manual though.

Yeah it might only be my center mirror that I have to adjust come to think of it. It’s so infrequent that someone else drives my car that I forget.

i want dumber stuff, not smarter stuff. i don’t want something scanning my face and adjusting my seat for me, i don’t want my refrigerator monitoring my ice cream consumption and telling me I’m almost out, I don’t want my phone to have 37 apps open all the time.

My wife and I do that. We had a car and a van. I would normally use the car and her the van (because kids). But if I needed to haul something or had to run the kids I used the van and she used the car. We now have a smaller SUV and a van (older leftover from when we actually needed it) and we use whatever vehicle suits our needs.

Our newer SUV has memory seats but it is by A and B buttons. But when you park and get out the seat moves all the way to the back so it is easier to get in and out for anyone. I like that feature as my wife is quite short and if I don’t move the seat back on the van after she drives it I almost can’t squeeze in. Somehow she has figured out a way of parking and getting out without the seat moving all the way back so when I go to get into that vehicle I still need to look at the seat to see if I need to move it back or not. It is quite annoying.
