driving a stick wasn't a novelty? When you had to turn on your headlights? When turning on/off the brights required stepping on a button with your left foot and had to roll down your window with a crank? Was looking at a Jeep today and my daughter asked if it was "one of the old ones where you have to learn to drive a different way." What have we done?

Dad knew how to turn an engine over with a crank, and had a couple of antique cars with a crank hole right underneath the radiator to prove it. I never got the knack. Somethin' about "do it wrong and it'll break your arm" might have had something to do with it.

I'm 29 and my first pick up had all of the above. It wasn't that long ago.

To be fair, I dated a girl from Peru in 2003 that complained about having "to learn" to drive an automatic.

I remember having to adjust the antennas (rabbit ears) on the TV, and they had foil on them. And then you had to get up and turn the knob on the TV to try the one other channel, and then turn the outer knob to tune it better.

Remember it all well. My friend had his nephew in his 65 chev and he was looking for the electric switch to roll the window down.

Sadly , I remember using all of those things. Except maybe the flywheel.
Dangit, I must be getting old.

That came after the many trips to Eckerds with dad to test tubes and select the right replacement from the drawers and box underneath.

My daughter wanted a car with a stick so that she would learn how to dive one. It turned out to be a blessing because she's the only one that drove her car none of her friends could drive a stick.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

Both vehicles we own are stick shift. One has daytime running lights but neither have lights that automatically come on when it’s dark.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.
