So I’m sitting in Darth Tahoe after dropping off my Traverse at garage to be mended and most of my familiarity with the Chevrolet controls transfers quite easily from the Traverse to the big beast Tahoe for the pre-engine start checklist…
- Paired phone via Bluetooth. Check.
- Figure out controls for playlist. Check.
- Mirrors configured. Check.
- Climate control and AC pack on. Check.
- Tushy warmer armed. Check.
Checklist complete and all controls are well sorted…except one!
It is almost embarrassing to admit how long it took me to give up trying to find a hole on the column for the key for engine start…
Let’s just say it was two minutes longer than it should have been! 🙁

First time I ran across that, I just mashed it and nothing happened.
Had to traipse back to the rental counter and be told “you have to step on the brake pedal.” :eyeroll:

I will give Darth Tahoe credit…the main indicator panel made that very suggestion and saved me from the walk of shame back to my service advisor! 🙂
Thank you Darth Tahoe!

I guess you guys found the old mans version of this.

One of these days I’d love to try my hand at the stick.
The one time I did was…unfortunately quite lame. I was trying to move a Datsun 510 hatchback that was a stick…didn’t quite figure out how to feather the clutch and throttle and kept stalling. After about six times…I had enough. Mind you…that was a car that never saw 4th gear (car hated it and would let you know it…normal shifting was third to fifth).
