I miss foot dimmer switches.

I keep driving my nearly 20 year-old truck and pamper it to keep it as my wife does her 16 year-old Lucerne to keep the Northstar V-8 and relative simplicity of the vehicle. Combined, we drive less than 7.000 miles a year now.

I can still do most things on both vehicles even the Cummins.

Why does anyone need a computer in a car? You’re supposed to drive it.

Buying a new car is painful enough. I dread it even more now. Sliders in big trucks were the way to go, is there an equivalent for cars now?

"I miss foot dimmer switches."

It was a mess when they moved the dimmer to the steering column.
I kept getting my feet tangled up in the steering wheel.

I think losing the floor-mounted dimmer switches was actually a good idea. They always tended to rust, gum up and stick.
