For the record, It most certainly did NOT always work...

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I was going to say, memories can get seriously skewed.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 10 points 1 week ago

Or, sometimes it worked, but the levers were incredibly stiff and you could skip arm day at the gym if you needed to adjust the climate controls very often.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seriously, pneumatic climate control can eat my whole ass

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Good news, there's a vacuum leak.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Did it ever work? I thought they were just moral support levers?

[–] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 5 points 1 week ago

This was definitely the first thing that came to mind.

[–] EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

These were expensive decorations in the raised-roof Chevy

Ah, the window for flicking cigarette ashes..

Pepperidge Farm remembers

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm old enough to remember learning about these the hard way

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

if you are young, you probably have to drive a car this old if you own one

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's old, but how many here recall the old car radios where you manually set a station preset by pulling the selector out, then pushing it back in? I can't even find a picture of one because of the age and trying to find the right search words.

I wouldn't classify how it worked as simple though, still seemed like magic.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 2 points 1 week ago

They were impressively simple once you understood the basic concept.

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

This pic smells like hot glue and old french fries with an overlay of cig smoke.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m old enough to have owned a car with one of these:

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm so happy we moved away from this and toward three basic questions:

  • Where do you want it?
  • How hot do you want it?
  • How hard do you want it?
[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

That's basically what these do. What's the difficulty?

[–] moonshadow@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] theshoeshiner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Close. OPs mom has an important 4th question... How much money do you have?

"DESERT ONLY"

[–] Macallan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

My first car had one of these.

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My dad's truck had one of these back in the day. The switch was super flaky so you'd either be stuck with low beams or stuck blinding oncoming traffic

Anytime I see pictures like these I can smell the car after being closed up all day in summer.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

bright lights foot switch. I miss it
