My wife just discovered that my car has telescope as well as tilt features on the steering wheel.  I wish she hadn't. ;) Now there's one more setting to adjust when I get back in *my* car!

Set it once.  I'm not sure my wife know that it adjusts...

:laugh: Women are even worse than men when it comes to RTFM. 

I remember catching a ride with a friend of my wife's who didn't realize that she had high beams on her vehicle.  She drove a new Windstar and thought that her DRLs were the low beams and that her regular headlights were the high beams.  She actually had to turn a knob to get her "high beams"!  She couldn't figure out why the road was always so dark when on her high beams and she mentioned that she'd had it into the garage twice for the problem and they still couldn't find anything wrong.   :rofl:  If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it! She gets the :flowers:

This isn't as uncommon as you would think.  A member of my family bought a 2009 Mazda 3 and drove it 2 hours north into the country.  I was at the cottage when they arrived with thier parking lights and low beams on.

They had never owned a car with HID's and thought they had "two levels of highbeams".  They thought turning on thier low beams was the "1st Highbeam" and the regualr highbeams were the "Second highbeam"  I guess they had no idea how bright HIDs make things seem.
