[Land-speed] Blindfold>From>Jim McNaul

Hi Doc, 

The car I am building IS enclosed and the thought of going through "the shut-down-bail-out drill seems very real to me. 

If nothing else, I intend to practice it blindfolded, and upside down.

It was a suggestion offered in a constructive vein, absolutely no criticism intended. 

I know your car has an abundance of fresh air!!  You lucky dog!

I can hardly imagine anyone driving ANY car that he has to search and read the labels on the switches and buttons in order to use them!   ;o)  I even try to familiarize myself with the controls on a rental car before pulling out of the airport parking lot!

An airplane I used to fly had a WHEEL-shaped knob on the landing gear lever, and a FLAP-shaped knob on the flap lever.  Seemed like a pretty neat idea to me and the reasoning was obvious. 

Like the question posed by George Carlin:  "Why are the buttons on the ATM at the drive-up window at the bank also printed in braille?"
