What no Y2K patch?... we were there...
I still have a set from Xmas around 1971,... weren't those annoying...
... 80ies (pre smartphone era survival kit)...
I have that exact Sony Betamax sitting in my spare bedroom closet, along with a Beta recording of the 1988 Laguna Seca GP, which I attended.

In 1959, Volkswagen offered Beetle owners a truly unique accessory: a coffee machine built into the car.
Made by Hertella, the device allowed drivers to brew coffee, tea and even chicken broth while on the road,
using the cigarette lighter as its power source.
To prevent spills, the system included magnet-mounted cups designed to stay in place during driving.
Today, it’s remembered as one of the rarest and most curious accessories ever offered by Volkswagen,
an early and surprisingly inventive blend of practicality and in-car technology, long before such ideas became mainstream.

I would like that in my car today..... my first car, a '59 VW had no such device.... it did have a gas heater though.
Some truckers drive around with this aboard...
I'm gonna get me one of those; all my stuff is Makita trying to get a decent impact gun right now [edit] you probably used the first 7.2 cordless drills; I still remember doing rough ins sliding a power drill down the ladder from the cord It's so funny now; I remember when duct cleaning was a sham; only dirty ducts were joist lining in the old gravity furnaces I ripped out as a kid; black and breathing it all in no one cared; asbestos kicking around the floor no masks. I remember using a four pound sledge to break an old coal / wood / oil to put in "perimeter heating" terms like that and "forced air" are gone now
Had our company lunch yesterday and thought, the bike I rode up in [40 years] is older than 90 percent of these guys, I mean they all liked it [none of them could start it] but it's a funny old world
