How truly sucky are the seats?
How truly sucky are the seats?
Memory for power seats and mirrors! If you’re the only one that drives a car, and nothing changes, it’s no big deal. But if you share with someone who’s substantially shorter or taller, it’s a royal PITA to run through multiple power switches to get things back to “where they belong”!
On my ‘09 base Tacoma, adding intermitent wipers was both easy and an extremely useful upgrade. All it took was a new wiper stalk (with the intermitent workings, used, on ebay), and 10 minutes to disassemble a reassemble, around the steering wheel.
I’m surprised that no one has figured out how to do a seatbelt interlock for car seats. One that would go off when the ignition is turned off and the door is opened. I realize that it would probably require new LATCH standards, one that provides some sort of electrical connection, but if we can figure out how to do sel…
Waist line, not waste line! ;-)
My first new car was a 1975 Gremlin - my other options were Pinto or Vega . . . $3500!

And you thought Mustangs were scary? My Scrambler with a 4-cylinder Iron Duke had crappy “handling” and this doesn’t look much more advanced!
Dealer pinstripes, flashing third brake lights, spinner hubcaps and stancing.
The ‘69 Camaro looks pretty good with inset headlights . . .
I had an ‘83 Jeep Scrambler with an Iron Duke in it. After the 4 speed crapped out, the local transmission shop found a used 5-speed that would fit, to replace it, and I ended up with something that had NO power in 5th gear . . .
Naughty pine or knotty pine?! ;-)
Good luck with the carb at higher altitudes . . .
City transit buses usually have three of those floor switches - the center one for the high beams, and the other two for the left and right turn signals, respectively!
The temporary bracing (the mobile transport unit) was removed after the span was placed, without any temporary bracing put in place, afterwards. Just having a temporary center support (between the opposing traffic lanes and not blocking traffic) would likely have prevented this.
