Hello,
Four days ago, confidently approached
the garage door at an angle, put the care in reverse, and gasped because I was
looking at a blank screen instead of a view behind the car. “How can I back up?
What do I do?”
Even after shifting in and out of
reverse no picture came back to me only this gray screen that did not help. My self
talk went like this, “You can do this. You learned to drive this way almost sixty
years ago. Good heavens! Can it be that long ago? I still have two years to go.
I have backed up without camera assistance for probably fifty-five years.”
I managed to back up, but it was a
stretch of my neck that is no longer ordinary. Once in the garage again the
reverse was checked with no improvement even after restarting the car. I even
cleaned off the camera, but did not restart the car. I wailed to Leroy, “The backup
camera did not work. It showed only a blank screen!”
“I will call tomorrow,” Leroy assured
me.
Since that was Saturday our car repair
place was not open. I drove the car Monday morning and my valued camera was
back. Was it what I might have wiped off, or is some repair just waiting for
another day to fail?
For now I am driving on faith in the
mechanical item that has served me so well and quickly become a valued and
trusted part of my driving experience.
