I was thinking about my circle of friends today, i dont think any of them if transported back to 1985 would even know how to start a carbeurated car with a manual choke.

Throw a 3 on the tree at them. Did that recently to a buddy of mine only 5 years my junior. Mind. Blown.

my Bronco was a 3-on-the-tree

Three on the tree was great, everyone used to want to drive my 68 biscayne in highschool because it was so goofy to them. I quite liked it actually.

I've never driven a 3 on the tree, but as soon as I got the shift pattern down, I'd be good to go. Not terrible for a 28 year old, I guess.

my buddy has a hard time starting his snowblower, cant grasp the choke

throw a foot starter into the mix. My M37 has factory theft protection ahaha, nobody younger than 55 would have any idea how to start it

Or a foot high beam switch.

My buddy had an old Chevy shorty van with 3 on the tree, woke up to hearing it start and the thieves attempting to drive it. They ditched it a few blocks away haha.

My first vehicle had 3 on the tree, and a starter button on the dash. I'm an old fuck...

you know what the perfect antitheft device is on a car today? A manual shifter.

as an avid ATV rider, you kind of have to know how to run a choke as a great many of these machines are either still have carbs or are older machines still running around. I have had three machines in the past few years, a 2005 Kawasaki Bayou 250, 2002 Yamaha Warrior 350 and still have the 2004 Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4... each one has a choke and you have to know how to work it when it's cold.

my buddy borrowed my truck last year and wanted to add washer fluid... couldnt open the hood. He kept yanking on my parking brake release

I am installing a foot activated high beam switch to my car. Too many people flash me with my properly installed, properly aimed, proper DOT housing H4 conversion housings to only have the one on the stalk. So much more satisfying to stomp a button.

i miss under dash vents, my j2000 had em, my sunbird didnt, odd considering it was the same body (the sunbird actually wend to the wreckers with a door off the J2000)

I can respect that. My shitty town is filled with a bunch of lifted bro-dozers (uhh.. sorry... trucks) with illegal HID swaps. Quad Hella 5000s usually get the point across with those douchebags.

One of my cars will have a full rally light setup. 4 on the bumper, 4 on the top rack, in addition to the headlight. THAT will get the point across.

id love to do that with my truck but im sent on courses 2-3 times a year to toronto and the hotel i stay at my truck fits with 2 inches to spare in the underground lot

I'm in the process of installing amber lights and alley lights on the rack on my Subaru...
