Last Call- We’re The Kids With Americas, Whoa-oh Edition
I just saw a somewhat tired MG Sport Sedan in my neighborhood the other day, so this I was punk before punk was cool Austin America owner tugged at my heartstrings. After all, who doesn’t love a girl who’s channelling Annabelle Lwin?

sold!
Yes I would like some Applesauce, thank you. Also, your sign is spelled wrong.
Hank Kingsley FTW!
Have you seriously been cruising MySpace trying to pick up hot cars?
She was selling "Applesauce", hence the sign placement. This stuff isn't Free….. (anymore, sniff…..)
Off topic but relevant to your interest:

I miss the knuckle busters in my Volvo…
Or like when ad on TV tells you to, "Dial ########!!!" you try and think of when you last used a Rotary Dial phone….
I've got one, it doesn't work right now, but it's on the List!
My in-laws just redid their kitchen and added on a dining room expansion. She had the old green rotary phone carefully removed from the wall and packed it away. She still wanted a rotary in the kitchen, but needed a black one to match the new color scheme, so she dug up the Princess desk phone that was in my wife's room and sent that back to Western Electric to trade it in for the black wall phone that hangs in the same spot today. The kids & grand-kids are all telling her to put the green one back.
Yes, they're still paying a monthly fee to rent a rotary wall phone.
Remember the scene in the movie To Die For when a panicking girl is trying to deal with a dial phone – stabbing her fingers into the dial holes in vain? Actually, I've used a dial as recently as 2008 – Mom kept her old dial phone in the kitchen to the end of her days.
My MPV has crank windows. I love them, and my kids think they are the greatest novelty. My 3 year old loves nothing more than climbing into the front seat and saying "We need some air in here", then rolling the window half way down.
That's awesome. One of the things I look forward to most in regards to having kids is seeing things through their eyes again.
My mother who hangs on to everything sent me my old Majorette Majo-Kit city street play set from the early 80's. I was putting it together with my son and he picked up the phone booth, and asked me:
"What's this, dad?"
"A phone booth"
"What do you do with it?"
Oh yeah, how would you know what a phone booth is?
I love crank windows. And also manually adjusting the seat location- stupid electric ones take too long. Is it really that hard to pull up on a lever then slide forward or backward?
The seats in my current car make me miss manual seats so much. It's a 2 door, and even the rear seat access is electric only. You have to lean it forward, then hold the button for about a minute, then squeeze past them to cram yourself back there. I don't carry people in the back seat in the rain…..
So that's why I couldn't figure out how to operate the seats in a Veloster or the new Mustang at the auto show! I kept looking for a release switch that would fling the seat all the way forwards. No wonder 2-door cars aren't selling.
It's such an incredibly huge pain in the ass. That lever on the side of the seat releases the back and makes it fold forward until the side bolsters meet. (not very far…) Then there is a small, nondescript button below that that moves it slowly forward on its rails. I imagine that's how it is for other newer cars as well. It's one of the things I miss about my E46. That thing lifted up and all the way to the steering wheel with the lever. It also had one on the inside edge of the passenger seat so the driver could assist passengers from the driver's seat.

My '00 Mustang had manual seats, and it just had the lever on the side that would make the seatback and the bottom both shoot all the way forwards. Quick, easy, and worked every time… well, actually, the driver side knob fell off at one point, but the mechanism never quit.
I see there is not much room between the B-pillar and the seat to begin with, as they didn't even put the seat belt retainer hoops on it.
Yeah, there's no room there at all. I can't even get my arm between them. If something drops back there, it's staying back there until I feel motivated to move the seat. Even then, I make an evaluation on whether it's worth the effort..
The biggest advantage, to me, of electric seats is that the adjustment increment is much smaller than that of a manual one. In my Passat, seat forward one notch is too close, aft one notch is just too far away. Bah! Of course, it has a manual seat recline, too, but that's an infinite turn knob. It takes an infinite number of turns to get it adjusted.
No matter what car I get in, the seats go all the way back. Electric adjusters are painfully slow! I see your point though. I do and don't like driving others cars because they always have to readjust it after me. HA!
While my own cars are set it and forget it, I dearly hope my mother never gets power seats. Manual is so much faster and I'm so much taller than her it's entirely necessary if I ever have to drive her somewhere.
My 2011 Silverado has window cranks. It is really annoying when somebody comes up to the right side of the truck and wants me to roll down the window. No problem the rest of the time, one less thing to break.

Fixed.
The man said "Keep
your head and arms inside the mixer at all times." But Bill Jr., he was a
daredevil, just like his old man. He was leaning out saying, "Hey
everybody! Look at me, look at me!" POW! He was decapitated. They found
his head over by the snowcone concession

Ruby's not like all the other kid's here at the Trailer Park……
I still have a rotory phone in use. it was white at one time and now its a very hideous shade of yellow..
Give me some Applase, you Morans!
Hm. She hasn't updated Myspace in just a few years. But…damn. I need a time machine with the un-age-the-driver feature.
There's a triple-bill show with Gang Green, Hüsker Dü and Social Distortion that we need to be at, at the Rathskeller in Boston in 1981.
If you're gonna talk the talk, you'd better walk the walk…
Nothing like bonding over some head lacerations from broken beer bottles.
100% class, all the way…
