Old Enough To Remember?

[catcher]

Push button shifter - yes, my first car was a '64 Valiant with that system. Got pulled over for having my arm around my girlfriend. I pointed out that I could control the car fully with just my left hand, noting the shifter. He rolled his eyes, and said, "if you want to spark, park!"

I’m old enough to remember when master cylinders on cars only had one circuit. If that piston failed……well you know.

The Suicide Cylinder.

So, in 1988 I remodeled our house.
I made a bread box out of some Birch leftovers.
As somewhat less than a master carpenter a loaf of bread didn't fit!
Now it does, easily, and I have to dig the slices out of the toaster with a fork.

I call this the Candy Bar syndrome.
Products get smaller and smaller and sometimes smaller and more expensive.
The neighborhood store is right across the street.
I expect someday to go buy a candy bar (or ice cream bar) and pay for it and not actually get anything!

PS- the store is way to handy!

My dad had a1960 or 1961 Plymouth (with fins....) with a push button shifter like the one illustrated. 273 V8, had transmission problems as I recall as a 6 or 7 year old kid. I remember he was very unhappy with it. Traded it in for a tan1965 Plymouth Fury III station wagon that we had for 5 years.

Okay, now we know who thinks of these things.

There was a signal that meant it was time to go to bed
And one that meant you woke up too early

Who had one of these?


Hint:
It is not Uncle Phil’s missing thermostat from the new engine transplant.

Still do . Gave one to my kids and they left it behind when they moved out.

On my desk
Beside the bed
In my truck

That’s the ones I can think of.
