cars should be symmetrical with two steering wheels and sets of pedals. this way if one of the drivers passes out the other can take over it works for planes OKAY!!

big time bisexual posted:Your DRLs don't turn off when you engage the parking brake? There were a bunch of GM models that didn't even bother with discrete DRL's, they just turn the goddamn headlights on all the time and you can't turn them off. So if you run the battery down, you can't let it idle to recharge, the alternator can barely keep up with the load until you get the RPM's up.

ClamdestineBoyster posted:Yeah its like, just use your loving mirrors idiot. You can see how far away poo poo is. Hey you said this back on page 2 and it's really a dumb thing to say and think. Modern cars' rear pillars are too thick to see out of the back this is due to rollover crash federal regulations and also those regulations require a backup camera so you can see when you backup and oh yea you can gauge depth because EVERY loving CAMERA HAS A DEPTH OVERLAY YOU loving DICKSHITTER.

I like how much people bitch about DEM drat GUBBMENT LAWS MAKIN CARS HARD T'SEE OUT OF when back in the day we had this: and this:  At a time when side mirrors were vestigial tiny things the size of a quarter and many cars didn't even have right-side mirrors. Yet somehow we managed to avoid squashing too many rugrats.

Society didn't get hyper obsessed with the well being of children until around 1986. Prior to that point? "Oh well, Johnny was kind of annoying anyways. And we got the other two." Also not pictured for that LTD: The driver impaled on the steering column like some sort of grisly war trophy after a 30mph front end collision with anything. Because crumple zones, collapsible steering columns, and wearing seatbelts was for fags and commies.

Instead of big dangerous cars I want small dangerous cars.

man, if you never crashed an 80s muscle car, you missed out. those fuckers were built like tanks and if you were able to walk away you'd probably be able to drive the car away if you didn't hit the wheels at all because that steel frame ain't bending

That LTD would have had a collapsible column - it's a '71 and I think '68 was the first year, but it wouldn't have mattered because without shoulder belts you'll be ejected through the windshield like a sideways toaster pastry. I kinda chuckle about safety back in the day cause my mom was a demon about belts and wouldn't put the key in the ignition until we were fully belted, yet we drove a '71 VW Bus that had, no joke, only one layer of 16 gauge sheet metal between incoming traffic and my little legs. Being ejected would have been the preferred outcome in a front-end collision. Besides, everybody was driving drunk anyway, and drunks always survive unscathed.
