Almost a Microsoft Car
Saturday, March 12th, 2005 at 8:56 amThe central locking on my parents car has gone a bit dodgy. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, the central locking won’t work from the drivers side door. However if you go around to the passenger side you can lock it but it’ll promptly unlock itself. Then the drivers side door lock starts working properly again.
Sometimes none of the doors will unlock, the solution to this is to climb in through the boot and get someone to try and unlock it from the outside while you are pulling on the handle on the inside.
This feels like a small step in the direction of the “Microsoft Car” (not to be confused with the legendary “Microsoft Flying Car”)
If Microsoft made cars... ...Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason, you would simply accept this.
