Except in my case, it's the clock in the car.

Lol!

I can so relate!

Was it a nice simple turn of the clock in my car? Oh no, can't have that!

To menu, to clock, to settings, then try to remember which knob to turn, then clock, then menu, then click and back to the main screen again!

I can relate to the stove picture.  It took me several tries on Sunday morning to get my stove clock on track.

I'm so glad I don't have to bother with changing time twice a year.

@Kachina624That is a riot!  I had to buy a new car in the summer and STILL haven't figured out half of the fancy schmany things yet alone changing the clock.  Just give me A/C, power windows and a radio and I'm good!

Same here. The manual that came with the car has 1,000 - 2,000 pages lol.

@Bonkers1  The manual that came with my new car was promptly shoved into the glove box.  LOL!  I'll never read that monster of a thing, unless I have an emergency need to do so.

 

And use that backup camera? No thank you.  I still crane my neck backing out of the garage.  I don't trust that camera!  I guess, as they say, "it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks".  😉

LOL!  Your fancy schmancy new car may have wifi.  If it does, the clock will change on it's own.  Ours did...but there are still a LOT of things I don't know about it.  Now that it's getting cooler, I can sit out there and read up on features.

I find it odd that I set back the coffee pot, micro and stove.  At the same time, however two days later all three show different times.  5:04, 5:06 and 5:03.

I got a 2007 fully-loaded Avalon with only 500 miles in 2010 and absolutely love that car.  I recently got it retrofitted with a backup camera.  

 

At almost 81 this month, I can say it made handling the car so much easier.  I can't twist around the way I used to do, so backing out of the garage or a busy parking slot it so much easier  and SAFER to boot !!!  

 

I practiced for about ten minutes to make certain I knew exactly what the red, yellow and green lines meant in terms of "closeness" to an object.

 

All in all, it was the best $500 I ever spent for the peace of mind when I am backing up and turning around.  Be safe.
