I'm baffled when I meet people over 18 that don't even know how to use it - in

I've 3 people in the last year (two of them over 18) how to pick your speed and push the right buttons.

Mind boggling.

That’s pretty much any ancestor of ours seeing us complain about anything today

It was broken on the car I had from 16 until 24, so I never got in the habit

Same here. Didn't have primary car with cruise control until age 29.

It can be the worst. Hence the reason we always leave at 4:30 AM.

Couldn’t agree more. I posted about this a while back. I like old fashion cruise
