Friday OT: what is that?

Before these came out we had to use a "church key." Whenever I would get ready for an evening out, I had to make sure I had my wallet, matches, fags, and a church key.

When these pull tabs first came out, we found that they could fit in parking meters if you separated the pull from the tab. Apparently they also jammed the meter as we found out one night after a wedding rehearsal dinner in Iowa City. The test sample size was two city blocks across from the old capital building.

Probably should have posted a picture of one of these. Not that common anymore...

Might even be a few here that don't know what the switch on the left does.

I'm like when I saw this, "where's the clutch pedal at?" I drove a manual transmission so much in my day when it came time to drive an automatic for driver's ed, I was total lost for a few days learning how to us my right foot for the brake and the gas.
 
Headlight bright - dim switch

Our new car has the same throttle connected to floor arrangement. “New” design to keep throttle from catching on floor mat.
My wife’s throttle is connected at the front bottom. I don’t like it. In my truck it’s suspended and I’m tall so when I set the cruise I can slide my foot under it.
