I don't have cruise control, but I sometimes see how far I can go driving with my eyes shut.

My record is 600yards! biggrin

No. Not on any of the cars I've had.
I never even took the time to learn how.

Trust me it's cool, the only thing that sucks is when you hit the brakes you have to reset it again mad

it was broken on my last car, glad the new one has it. it's nice on road trips, highway driving, and to keep an eye on speeding.
let me come over it's a beautiful day to play with you in the dark

a lot have the "resume" feature. after u hit the brake, when u accelerate again, it goes back to the speed it was set at previously.

While driving the Miata, I'll sometimes use it when I'm on the highway (which isn't very often, as I live within walking distance of my office).

While driving the BMW, never, because the cruise control is broken. dead
