That’s funny buckland! I occasionally find my left leg reaching for the clutch pedal when decelerating into a downhill curve. I haven’t driven stick since selling my Jeep in ‘96.
Wing windows with a wet towel on your face...priceless.Sledawg said:You are a geezer if you remember your parents version of A/C in the car was the window wings or the air vents near your feet.
Retiring this year and looking forward to not knowing what day it is….
I had a bicycle water bottle with the 'salt shaker' top (remember those?). Keep my head wet while riding with windows open was very effective.pvstoy said:Wing windows with a wet towel on your face...priceless.
The older guys leading our ground geophysics crew were all Phelps Dodge exploration hands who'd cut their teeth in the Southwest in the 1950s and 1960s. Their water bladders were within thick wool layers reinforced with corners and strips of canvas. They'd keep the big bag contraption wet with meltwater from conventional coolers and the evaporation from the wool cooled the drinking water inside the bladder to an amazing degree. They'd find a way to hang the bag on the front of the Suburban to keep it in the slipstream, or on the passenger side mirror if on the front led to overheating the engine.buckland said:I recall a Jackson Brown album (73?) had a desert bag on the front of a truck?
