Got to admit things have been a tad bit cornfusing the past few years in the way of vehicles. Ol Blue my 66 F100 is a column shift manual, Miss Bev's Highlander is a floor shift auto, the Sequoia we just bought from our daughter is a column shift automatic and the Nissan Frontier I inherited from a family member a few years back is a floor shift manual. Seems like at times I tend to be looking for a third pedal with my left foot thumping the floor, reaching for a stick shift that isn't where its supposed to be or trying to find a manual choke knob. Fingers crossed that problem is finally solved with selling the Nissan and not planning on driving Miss Bev's Highlander so now I just have to remember the Sequoia column shift auto doesn't have a third pedal or a manual choke and Ol Blue does. Figuring that's getting closer to the kiss concept and one less vehicle to worry with. Fingers crossed on that one.

How about when you get the wrong keys in your pocket? I seem to do that more than I'd like to admit.

No problems here. Both vehicles are autos. SUV has a fob, Jeep has keys, no mix-ups.

I drive a Dodge pickup, she drives a Honda SUV. Not much chance of key confusion.

Aggravation is goin to a room to get something, and forgetting what it was when you get there.

My wife carries truck keys on her key ring, I carry jeep keys on my ring.
The reason is, if either locks their keys inside, the other can come to the rescue without calling a wrecker or locksmith.
The Jeep is a fob, the truck is not.

Aggravation is trying to remember where you are going, you don't know when you get there.
