My truck is a 2017 and it is a stick and does not have automatic headlights. Toyota is still a bit different

Remember my daddy starting the old Poppin Johnny with the flywheel. I could start one today. First you have to turn the fuel selector to gas, next you have to open the peacocks, then pull the choke up and give it a crank.

My wife bought a 2017 Jeep Wrangler, just the very basic model. It has crank up windows, no power mirrors, no power door locks or key fob and you have to manually turn the lights on and off. Sure does make taking the top and doors off. The only thing wiring to disconnect is the rear windshield washer and wiper.

Who remembers the starter button on the floor board? Had one Me too. Also there was a crank on the dash board that rolled the windshield up and out. Talk about a road hunting machine...

Yep, I learned how to drive in an International pick up w/ 3 on tree. I drove manual transmission vehicles for many years and had to teach my wife to drive a stick when we first got married so we could switch out vehicles on occasion. Not sure she still knows how - will have to ask. For sure my kids can't.
The thing I miss most with newer vehicles is the lack of a wing window. It was great to be able to direct the breeze while tooling down the road.

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. That came after the many trips to Eckerds with dad to test tubes and select the right replacement from the drawers and box underneath. Ours was at Safeway grocery store.

Gas cap/tank behind the license plate, 4/40 A/C = 40 mph with 4 windows down, gas $ 0.23.9 a gallon. Filler up with regular or Ethyl (premium) and the joke; raped in the gas station by who pumped Ethyl

Ours was at the 7-Eleven - which by the way meant that they opened at 7 a.m. and closed at 11 p.m.

Maybe I'm not as close to approaching geezerhood as I thought I was. They were on all but high end models until late 50's early 60's, accelerate or go up hill they would just about stop, go down hill or coast they would speed up so you thought they would break off.
