I think some may have either never driven a vehicle without technology, or it has been too long to recall how they rode/drove. I vividly recall the first vehicle I ever drove, a 50's pickup, no turn signals, starter down in floorboard, and somehow you needed to pump the gas pedal while simultaneously pushing the starter and pull choke just the right amount all while not flooding the carb. Certainly no AC, and if you drove long enough, the heater might just get warm by the time you shut it off. Huge steering wheel, with manual steering that seemed like it took a dozen turns to just turn off the highway. Oh, and if you thought ABS was poor, try an old truck from the 50's with manual brakes that took a few pumps of the pedal to hopefully engage those drum brakes. Oh, and those vacuum wipers. You needed to let up on the gas to generate enough vacuum to even get them moving and in a downpour those were terrible. Don't get me wrong, I guess they were simple to work on, and I am working on an old truck now to play around with (it does have power steering, but manual drum brakes that I am betting makes the worst ABS look good), but I'll not be using for my daily commute. Oh the memories.
