I am busily in the process of trying to 'homemate' my auto.

I am trying to use the Y-10 units that send control signals
via the cigarette ligthers to various appliances in my car.
The first problem I ran into was a lack of receptacles in 
my VW Bug. I installed three in the glove comparment, 12 in
the back seat, and 8 in the front trunk. Since I have more
than 15 cigarette lighters, I must use two different 'car codes'.

The next problem I ran into was the lack of useful auto appliances.
For instance, I found that controlling a Mr. Coffee under the
front hood just wasn't terribly convenient. Besides, it made
a mess every time I took a corner.

Next I tried tying the units into the engine and steering. I programmed
the car to come pick me up at work the next day, but this too was
a miserable failure. Not only did my car fail to show, but my neighboor
seemed quite peeved when he found my Bug in his kitchen.

I did, however, find a use for my system: it is now controlling the
mercury filled speaker cables I use in the ignition.

P.S. Just how old does one have to be to be "an old fart"?
How will I know when it happens to me?
