One of the things I like about the 2014 Scion Pioneer headunit I have in mine is there is a "ledge" along the bottom. You can rest a finger or two on it and use another to push the screen. Much steadier.

I usually put my wrist on the shift knob and a finger or two along the bezel to operate my touch screen. This is much steadier in manual mode than auto though, I'm always afraid I'll put it in neutral if I put my wrist on the shifter in auto.

Also (look at me, double posting for once, very rare) did anyone notice that the wheel sub-forum is now sponsored by Tire Rack? I just now saw it. I guess they found another way to make money...

I just keep poking until I eventually get where I want. Sometimes first poke. Sometimes tenth poke.

80 degrees F every day this week in A-town for the high, lows around 45-50. That sounds great, but the last time it was this warm in February was 2011. Summer 2011 was the hottest on record here, with over 90 consecutive days of 100 degree temps. We also tied the all time high for Austin of 112 degrees. That was freakin' hot! So I'm a little worried that this summer will be a repeat.
