...you stop auto correcting the steering wheel when hard braking your "other" vehicles.

... when you start to wonder why no one has asked you if your car floats.

You wonder why it won't start when you turn the key to the right.

You can't figure out how to get in because you can't find a remote fob for the Pinz.

You drive around all day at 35mph because you forgot you left it in low range the last time you had it out.

-you leave the head lights on when you park because they don't go off automatically,
-keep looking in the middle of the windshield for the rear view mirror.
-can't remember if sliding the heater and fresh air levers up or down is open or close.
-wonder which way to flip the air control lever under the dash: for feet or defrost, only to be reminded it doesn't matter.

I thought of that, too, but IIRC it happened to someone here so it might be a sore spot :oops: :?

… wonder who stole the left pedal?

…wonder why the key won’t turn to the right and why it won’t start, when it does?

… forget to let the truck do a ECU/ABS system check before starting..

…wondering why is it so much harder to turn from a stop than my last Pinz?

…wondering why does it slow to 60mph going up a hill?

…wonder why the 4wd indicator is lit and the switch is off?

… why the group has no sympathy for my Pinz problems? :lol: :P

You forget where the real 1st gear is...

and you can't get through the intersection when you do try to use it.

And he’ll likely give me a hard time about the brain farts that prevent me from getting my Ural into first gear after having backed in to a space when I parked it. :lol:
