Are you so young that you have never been in a car with one of these?

Ah. The memories of being a wee kid and heating them up. And touching the red hot element.
I think that's one of those experiences that everyone that has been near them as a kid has had.I did it once back in '96 I think I'm a friend's car that was a vomit of a post soviet auto industry. And then did it again few months ago while explaining what's that thing in our VW golf to my kid.

Oldsmobile 98. 3 tons of mailbox plowing steel bumpers, orange barrel throwing, luxuriously spaced seating, so much chrome it upsets local birds, and steel steel steel. Bumps in the road? Lol. Was that a twig or a curb we just rolled over? Cant tell. Can fit an extra three persons in the trunk comfortably with the subs and amps, if necessary, or a honda 185 three wheeler, and is unstoppable with a set of chains on the back in the snow. Longer than the Short Bus, a back seat that made most king size mattresses blush, with the gas mileage to match. Oh how I miss you Hooptie. RIP.
My buddy had a 93-94, we crammed like 12 people in it one night, including the trunk lol

wrote last edited by [email protected]I had a 70 Olds 98 with the Rocket 455. You could literally hear the gas pouring into the dinner-plate sized carburetor when you floored it. Had it for two or three days and the janky wiring caught fire and it burned up. Probably for the best really.

Yes they were. My grandfather had an old Lincoln town car and he smoked like a train and the driver ash tray was always full. And he would drive with the driver window open even if it was snowing or raining and the water would get into the ash tray and omg! The door below the tray looked like an oil spill.

Had an 99 Crown Victoria. When I had to check all four tires, I'd pack a day-bag and carry extra water.

If you were fast, there was a neat trick where you could use them as a bottle opener too.
And some actually did just straight up have bottle openers.
Idk about this one, although it does look like it is, but some were removable, so you could clean them and more easily use that nub to open bottles.

OK I remembered them, but the memories didn't flood back until I read this. I was definitely stuffing them with my trash

If you're in the back seat of a Tesla, you'd better look at those things real carefully.
In the event of power loss (in the event of a crash and subsequent fire perhaps), the only way out will be to disassemble that and pull the release cable.

I suppose you'll need an exotic screwdriver to disassemble it?
