Had a Ford pickup for years with simply two sliders for heating temperature and fan speed.
Dark or light no need to look just do it.
Had a Suburban with a fake touch screen, loved the car but hated the controls you had to look at to use.

"Fly windows" Simple climate control system. Always works. Never fails.

Ashtrays? Fly windows?I think the requirement for airbags in the A-pillars means we'll never see fly windows return.
Damn shame.

Bring back vent windows and foot actuated headlight dimmers. Buick nailheads.

I want toggle switches.
And get rid of the fuel gauge. Just give me a reserve fuel tank to switch to.

How about a full size spare tire instead of a bicycle size?

Yes, and bring back the foot activated starter switch.
Also, bring back "three-on-the-tree".

The touch screen for my Kia Soul stereo is obnoxiously distracting. I’ve gotten better with it, however, so I’m not a potential menace on the road while adjusting the tuner.

Well, have a hand crank to lean the bottom of the windshield forward re: flat fender Power Wagons.
To: Drew68
Didn’t think of that. Thanks for the insight.

Or springs on a hood instead of a little metal rod to hold it up? And while you’re at it, leaded gas (mmmm mmmmm I miss that smell!) and freon until I see snowflakes coming out of the vents! Get er done!

Saw the headline and thought it was about manually rolling down windows.

And get rid of the tach. Cancha tell by the sound?
And get rid of the speedometer. If you can’t tell by now how fast you’re going, you shouldn’t be driving.
