Oh and I still hit the wrong stalk more often than the correct one. It can really wake you up when it engages the cruise unexpectedly just when you thought you were slowing down for a turn.
Her Xfire wasn't for sale, but when I gave her the keys back I advised her that I had lowered the seat. It was in full up position. Fill me in on the pedal adjustment motors??? I wasn't aware of that option. I hadn't thought about the possible danger of accidentally hitting the cruise control stalk, of course, it probably won't engage below 25 or 30!
