Default Compulsive behaviour & peculiar actions

Whenever I'm driving, I'm moving the lower HVAC slider **** around to exercise all vacuum pods so that they will stay flexible.

Anyone else do stuff like that?

I believe the more common term for the phenomenon you'd described is called driving.
Yes, I like to exercise the gas pedal, throttle, pistons & crank, brakes, tires....

When I drive, most everything get used.
Except for the cruise and wiper washers.

You're not alone. I don't do it every time I drive the car, but enough that I notice this behavior. Good to know I'm not crazy.

You are not crazy, it is just a strange place to be when you know so much about these cars. We all know too much sometimes.

I have the original style window, roof, wiper levers. Even though I did 'the surgery' on them and they work flawlessly, I'm still in the habit of double tapping them.
