I am returned to GWN. Adventure over the past weekend was to pick up SWMBA at the airport, drop off air freight shipping, then hit the homestead to gather last minute goods going to ND for the drive to Billings MT for car swap with #1 boy. Heading east was the decade old RAV4. No nannies in the thing and it had just gotten major service with my demand that all fluids and filters be changed, I did not care how pretty they were to the technicians eye, make them new. We only made 400 miles the first leg of the trip and overnight in ID. Did around 500 through all manner of twist and turns with continental divide the next day, meeting #1 boy at Costco and SWMBA getting into her new CRV. Overnight in Billings and then hit the road back west. SWMBA did the initial leg with all the bells, whistles, and nannies engaged. She was remarking every time a car passed or some active interference took place by the installed overlord. I got the second leg and turned it all off except for adaptive cruise. Damn thing still got up in my grill and told me I needed to stop for a cup of tea because I was obviously not paying attention in the manner it deemed I should be. It also would not comply with my desire to set CC above the posted limit by more than three miles. All manner of flashing on the display and warnings when I tried to make it go just a bit fast. Cruise does not work above 90 anyway. By the time I got back to the house to do the load out on the CRV to ship thing to GWN, I had to pull the SL out of the garage and bask in all the analogue glory to be able to re-center myself from nanny state overload. clay
