My 64 valiant AP5 has a push-button automatic transmission. Some newer cars have this 'new feature' now. |

So to catch up with the past we need a push button start, push the button on the floor headlight dipper and a push button auto.

I drove a truck with a foot operated washer and wiper! And the damn Euro trucks with a foot operated exhaust brake. I catch my heel on the button because I don't have European feet. The motor makes a nice clatter when you are powering up the highway with the exhaust brake on! |
