once again baffled by my car

Starting July 1st, my state has a new hands-free driving law thing going into effect. (So many jokes about driving with your knees, so many. Really it’s about not using any devices in your car that require data entry, though.)

It’s come up at work a couple times, and there was a whole discussion about bluetooth devices and such. But when’s the last time I actually *needed* to make a call or send a text while I was driving? So I was all, ‘yeah, I don’t have that.’

EXCEPT IT WAS THE REMOTE CAR STARTER ALL OVER AGAIN! Because I got this sort of side-eye from one of my coworkers and they were all, ‘you sure about that?’

The answer being, of course: OF COURSE I’M NOT SURE, AT LEAST 85% OF EVERYTHING I SAY IS OFF THE CUFF AND AT LEAST PARTLY FICTITIOUS, THE ONLY THING I KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT MY CAR IS THAT IT IS BLUE.

Long story short, there is bluetooth on my phone, and also built into my car. Encouraging them to play nicely together may be a chore, but I am hopeful it will involve 100% less setting off the car alarm than learning to use the remote starter.
