Well, we are in St. George. We drove down with my Brother and are staying in his in-laws vacation home. It's really hot here. You could say "It's hotter than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest," but if you did people would no doubt look at you strangely.
On the drive down I learned something about my car manufacturer. For the record, we drive a Nissan (Pathfinder). I don't think that they understand that the dash warnings, and they associated sounds should reflect the severity of the issue that they are warning the driver of.
Take for instance your oil leaks out, probably should start flashing red and a scary alarm sound to let you know that you need to stop ASAFP!! But on the other hand, lets just use tire pressure just for kicks. Sure a warning light to let you know about it, but if any warning probably a quick quiet beep to let you know.
So we are driving...we are driving along and having a grand time. We are talking about this and that and laughing about that funny joke that Johnny Carson said last night....WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!! THIS HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL IS UNLEASHED WITHIN THE CABIN WHICH CAUSES ME TO JERK THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. When I catch my breath and get back on the road I notice that my tire pressure light has been lit. "Ohhh good, I thought maybe we were on fire" I thought to myself.
So we are driving along talking about how we almost lost our lives because of a stupid tire pressure wHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN ANOTHER 20 SECOND BEEP IS ONCE AGAIN INFLICTED ON ITS OCCUPANTS. It's a good thing that there is not one, but two ear piercing warnings just to make sure that the driver knows that they are in dire need of checking their tire pressure or they are taking their lives into their hands. Thank you Nissan, your foresight and judgment is truly an inspiration.
I MISS YOU! LOL!
