Just this weekend I discovered two lever like things hidden under the dash on the driver's side. I can reach them with my feet. One makes the car go faster and the other one makes the car go slower...

I think that he thought the + and - were for the calculator, you know with all the computer stuff in the car....

Never embarrassed when I learn something, no matter how trivial or obvious. Much more embarrassed with the 73 I shot today with 5 Birdies!!

The Corvette system is less sophisticated than most others I've had. On most cars, the + and - buttons have a double detent action. A soft push increases or decreases speed by 1 mph. Pushing through to the next detent position increases or decreases the speed to the next closest 5 mph mark. Even the Volt and our Tahoe work this way.
