    Default power button

    How do I explain to an engine illiterate moron that the power button does not increase the engines Kw output, it changes the auto's shift points so the car pulls harder. The idiot treats the power button as though it is a nitrous boost button... I speak of him like this because he is one of my sons-in-law. Oh, by the way, he does not drive. He pushes the button from the passenger seat when he thinks it is needed.

    The fact that your calling your son in law an illiterate moron and an idiot, makes me think you dont need help with your car but with your attitude. Leave the car and spend more time with the boy!
    Every1 relates in their own way. he will understand soon enough!

    w8stedYouth thanks for your evaluation of my mental state... the "BOY" is 40 years old and lets his wife chauffer him everywhere rather than getting a license himself. Do you really think that at 110kph on a freeway (where we were) you want someone dicking around with your controls? Did you jump the gun a little with your comment? I was looking for a way to let him know that he is putting everybody's life at risk by doing this.

    love this idea. what you could do is next time he pushes the bloody thing wait a few minutes & say "bugger that last nitro blast musta did something to the car". then pull over & ask him to get out & check the exhaust. when hes at the back of the car,drive off

    if that dont work,make up a picture book for him with bright colour pictures showing the use of the shift button

    but honestly,you think at his age he would have some idea about the workings of a car. i would honestly expect this sorta thing from a teenybopper

    im thinking get urself an old ignition coil and rig up some metal probes under the passenger seat, with the right knowledge im sure someone could disconnect the power switch and wire it up to a vibrating relay which is then connected to the coil so when this idiot pushes the power button he gets a few thousand volts going through his ass
