Window controls are in one of three places that I've seen: On the door (most modern cars), on the center console (most older European cars it seems) or on the console in the middle (Wranglers, Minis, PT Cruisers, possibly some Italian cars). That's like, it. Three potential locations. Personally I like them in the center by the shifter 'cause my left hand is my steering hand. That way I don't have to worry about taking my hand off of the steering wheel to lower the window, or lower the window partially only to come back to it after a few seconds.

I’ve been in one car in my entire life that had the window controls in the center console. If you can’t see how someone might take a few minutes to find controls in a non standard place in an unfamiliar vehicle, and instead default to question if someone is retarded, then I don’t know what to say.

I was being facetious, I didn't mean to actually imply that his mental capacity is subpar or that he has a learning disability. I've sat in a Wrangler and operated its windows. I don't see how somebody can drive one, look for them someplace they're used to, and not go "oh, they're over here instead, huh how about that immediately" and move on with their life. Especially in a modern car where everything is pretty cleanly labelled. They're not exactly hidden or poorly labelled. I'll make fun of Wranglers for plenty of things and I'd never own one but come on, that's a bit of a stretch.

If the window controls are anywhere other than on the door or the door armrest the designers need to be punched in the nuts. Laughing at someone who can't find them is such a retarded location is also punch in the nuts worthy.

euphronius posted:For reference That's the previous generation but I mean, they're right there. Surely you touched the radio and were like, huh, I wonder what these buttons with an image of a rolled down window are for! I apologize for calling you [redacted] and I'm sure it didn't take five minutes to locate them, but even like twenty seconds would boggle my mind. It isn't like they moved the turn signals off of the stalk. Back in my day a buddy had a nineties Regal and the button to open the trunk was inside the glove box. That took about thirty seconds to find (and then we made sure to press it while he was driving because we were stupid and in high school)

It was always fun when I was a tire guy to give the new kid the keys to a Saab or a Porsche and see how long it took them to start it I also look forward to trapping people in my E21, since the door handle is inside/under the armrest and you basically squeeze the upright part to open the door

It's dryly amusing that "X is the Cadillac of Y" is so common a phrase when Cadillac hasn't been the Cadillac for so long.

I get that the Honda tax is a thing, but really the new one is ugly as poo poo too. I miss the 6th gen civics and accords. They all looked like S2000's in a way. Now they all look like a rolling prolapse.

Every time I want to sell my NA miata, I'm reminded that pop up headlights are good and cool. I want to paint my car Marina Bay Blue metallic just because I like it. Merlot Mica is alright, but honestly I prefer blue and this harbor freight spray gun needs something to do. Anyone want to buy a merlot mica hardtop? E: just look at it

Ford should make a mustang-based Ranchero. Give it a bed strong enough to haul a motorcycle or a bunch of camping gear, long enough to camp in, optional AWD and 2” lift. I’d buy it.
