My twist on Kay's challenge.
The new car was really something. That beautiful long graceful bonnet in a dazzling metallic blue. It was the best car he had ever had. All the bells and whistles you could ever imagine. He'd had it now for three days and was still getting used to all the gimmicks it had to offer. When it rains the wipers start automatically, the lights switch on when it gets dark, gull wing doors that open at the touch of a button, auto cruise control auto traction control etc etc etc. On a trip to the coast he found the drive so thrilling that he was on a huge high for the rest of the day. On the way home he was able to let rip as the traffic was light. When he hit the A420 there was not a car in sight so the accelerator hit the floor. The car felt like it was glued to the road, then, on a particularly tight bend the car started to drift, the traction control auto correct kicked in, straitened the cars drift and sent it straight across the road and into a ditch.... .... .... .... He now has an old bent mini that he drives very sedately.

That's a different use of auto-correct! Very clever, and rather naughtily funny too. And unwittingly he's become a better driver by switching to old tech! Great use of the prompt, and a good story delivered in record few words. I could learn much here!
