my new car

So I arrived in Albany today where I will be spending the next three months. I picked up the rental car. I was expecting a 4-door Hyundai or similar, as the quote led me to believe. I got a sporty Chevy, 2-door with a high rear and spoiler. I almost could not believe my eyes and thought someone was playing a joke on me. I got into the car and tried to look for the electric jack to plug the tomtom into. Found one but it was much too small. Thankfully the tomtom had some battery power left. (Found the 12V standard electric jack much later.) So I started playing around with the many buttons.

"Ooh, three buttons on the rear-view mirror. I wonder what they do." Press rightmost button with the attractive cross icon.

"Hello, this is the SmartAssist SOS system. How can I help you? blah blah..." I think this was what she said.

I was panicking now. I was expecting the button to change the mirror properties, not get someone on the phone! I pressed another button which seemed to end the call.

But the "phone" rang! And she started talking again. Obviously I was frantic and trying to think of what to say. I could only apologise and that I didn't mean to call her. Instead of reprimanding me for wasting their time, she told me not to worry about it, or something like that, and that they are there if I should need it!

I certainly felt safe. At least I know what to do if the car breaks down *touch wood*.
