Dear Aldous,

Cars today have computers
that operate many systems iat
the vehicle: air conditioning,
guages, transmission, suspen-
sion and engine controls, to
mention a few.

Hew vear 2000 will affect
these svstems probably wor't
be any problem since most oF
these svstems da not use a
“date” to operate.

“00” as the year. However, all
the newer vehicles (1988 and
up) appear to have thar func-
ulen.

So, NO, don’ worry your
car will not quit on New Years
Eve!
