Reading the Owner's Manual

The new car is the reason I found out about the ostrich and alligator upholstery.  The man in charge of accessories at the dealership is a fellow fiber artist, and he and I had a lovely conversation about textures and colors.  Upholstery can also come in bright yellow or red or blue or pink or orange --- you don't have to limit yourself to black, tan, or gray.  It turns out that the man owned one of my favorite little shops downtown, now, sadly, defunct.  

There are adjustments to make when you have a new car.  I've usually always said that once I get used to the brakes when I'm driving something different, I'm good.  With this, it's the gas pedal.  Oh, and the digital EVERYTHING.  There's a back-up camera.  And no CD player.  I have to get music through Bluetooth, which I have absolutely no experience with whatsoever.  Look, I could pack my own music in the Highlander, including cassettes.
