Comfort Zone in Grey

On January 9th I took home "Hasi" as my new car is called (because it is a VW Golf Rabbit and "Hasi" means bunny in German). As the car dealership is a 20+-minute drive away I needed Highflyer to drive me there. Had we known that it would be the worst snow day so far this winter, we would definitely have postponed the pick-up date. As it was, it ended up being a pretty frightening maiden cruise having already passed several crash-sites on the motorway on our outbound drive. I parked the car and then it stayed there for literally 3 weeks straight without being moved by anyone. Since then, we have been to Carinthia and back with Hasi and I'm pretty comfortable now driving this fancy hight-tech "smartphone-on-wheels" that feels like a quantum leap after my old car. I'm still not at ease as a passenger, though, but this is the case in any car post-accident when I constantly expect somebody to drive into us from the right as happened to me. I had been very opposed to (driving) automatic cars and since I knew I wanted to get a hybrid (petrol/electric) car, which only comes as AT, I was not happy about this. However, just like everybody had told me, I got used to it immediately and now I just need to decide whether I want to endure the horrible orchestra of beeps when I park in a tight space or whether I rather should switch all assistant sounds off.
