We bought a new car! It is a Subaru same as our previous car which mom still misses a lot. The old one had a manual transmission and was great for driving up and down hills in the snow. The new car has paddle shifters so it can mimic a gearshift and slow the car down on a hill but it’s not the same as real gears with torque or whatever.The new car has a moonroof that at first mom did not want (just another thing to break) but now we love it! This car has all kinds of safety features such as imminent collision braking and blind spot detection; it has dozens of computers and a bunch of cameras. We are still getting used to it! Here are things we have learned, in some cases the hard way. When you go to the car wash you should put the car in neutral; if you can’t lock the car when you leave it is because the engine is still running; and you don’t need to get the key fob out to lock the car you can just touch the little indicator on the door handle.
