[Shotimes] Gen2 ATX question

[Donald Mallinson]

Ford had for decades been known for this feature, although 
most people have no idea it is there.  I first heard about 
it in the 60's

GM NEVER had this option till just recently.  My wife's new 
pickup will start in 2nd now if you select second gear.  In 
slick conditions, this will really help you get around.

Also, something new on this pickup.   the turn signal now 
uses a Ford like setup...pull back to flash high beams, push 
forward for high beams to stay on.  A much better method 
than the usual GM setup of pull back to change between high 
and low, and NO flash to pass feature.  I Wonder if the 
Patent on that feature just expired?
