Is Your Car in Tow Mode? Yeah. Yeah. I Screamed

Experiencing vehicle malfunction in a deserted parking garage can induce a panic response, as illustrated by a frustrated attempt to start the car that led to exclamations of disbelief. The absence of mobile reception impedes immediate troubleshooting, necessitating reliance on external assistance such as AAA for towing. Challenges arise when trying to engage tow mode, as complications with the vehicle's system—specifically that the option remains grayed out despite following required procedures—add to the frustration. The preference for simpler, more reliable technology is emphasized, contrasting modern key fob systems with traditional methods of operation. An anecdote highlights the annoyance of technology reliance, drawing a parallel between the complexities of smart devices and the desire for straightforward, manual controls in everyday life.
