Yeah, I remember when there was a clutch and no automatic transmission. You had to manually shift from low to 2d to 3d gear. And before that there were no headlights. You had animal oil lamps on your carriage.

Oh for the good old days.

You forgot the glory days of hand crank starting. Cars have never been the same since!

And don't forget no electric starters. You used a crank and didn't have to worry about a dead battery.

Never wrap your thumb around the starter crank.
