    I saw an old guy using hand signals when turning, instead of his blinkers, a few days ago. I can't remember the last time I saw a driver doing that.
     
  9. ...I do that all the time in my Roadster, especially if someone is on my ass!:mad:...I think most people under 40 have no idea what I'm doing!:rolleyes: Westminster bound (1) (1).JPG

    I always thought these were a good idea on long trips before cruise control came a long…
     
  17. ...I like where you're coming from. I just wonder how many people went to depress the clutch and depressed the auxiliary throttle pedal!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:...Looks like it may have mounted a little higher to hopefully avoid such an incident.:D:D

    Once center consoles came in, on a trip you couldn’t change feet on long trips with straight roads either… one reason I liked a bench seat.
     
  19. ...Absolutely. I've always been a bench seat guy going back to my dating days.
