I guess I am old. What else have you noticed.

How about the "loud" pedal? ....and I can remember my father yelling at other (slow) drivers...."It's the long, skinny pedal to the right pal!!!!"

Don't get me started...old school is gas/brake/clutch.

Also, have them explain this little gem:

Does anyone have three on the tree? Need three pedals for that.

Not anymore but my first Bronco had one.

To misquote Ron Popeil,

My mom has one of their mandolin slicers still.

Here is an example of my advanced age. At the Bronco rodeo the group had arrived at a location on the trail that incorporated huge boulders that we were being instructed on how to traverse. The trail had the boulders on the right and an easy thruway on the left. When the instructor asked if anyone had any questions I asked “ why would anyone drive over the boulders when they could simply go around them?”. As you can guess rock crawling is a foreign concept to me.

First car had them all including 3 on the tree…..1964 Nova

I drove my dad's old Ford truck for a while. It had one of these to dim the headlights.

What is your point? Kids these days grew up on a solid state....

I also take a dim view of that floors switch.

Floor shifters were actually quite an advancement over the tree.

Well at least they didn't use acronyms...FP...bro...SP...bro...LOL...

And as a bonus:

On my 1969 Cougar convertible, I needed to adjust these every 2k miles, and I typically replaced them after 4k miles. Engine idle was always noticeably smoother after adjustment/replacement.

These are classic "dad jokes" that our kids simply would not understand, but all us "dads" are laughing out loud.
And yes, moving to "4 on the floor" from "3 on the tree" was so much better because I also went from a straight 6 to a V8.
