Who the hell had manual windows in the 90s?

I got my first car in 2001. It was a 1998 Mirage. Had manual windows.

Had a buddy who drove an 86 Celica with a busted starter.  We just always made sure to park it on an incline to make popping the clutch easy when we left.  Sometimes we had to park far away from our destination, but we did what we had to do.

I started my '71 Bug like that numerous times.

Reverse was easiest.

Yours truly. I had manual windows on my vehicle into the 2010s.

I had a manual F150 with a bad starter for over a year. I could afford to get it fixed, but I didn’t out of sheer laziness. I had to park on hills and inclines wherever I went. It was no big deal at all. It also had manual windows. I loved that truck.

Had an (auto) f150 from high school that I had just replaced alternator on, but it still died on me at a red light coming in to austin near the airport at night. Sat through a light cycle. Big dodge was going to run the red light and plowed in to me doing 55 plus. Pushed me through the intersection and in to the ditch on the other side of the road.
 

Truck was on fire, doors were stuck, but the manual windows still worked. Entire truck was engulfed within about 60 seconds of being hit. To this day I’m still nervous now that I’ve upgraded to automatic windows.

Two people ought to easily be able to push an 86 Celica up to enough speed on flat land.  As long as neither had a uterus.

We often had to do that too. But a slope was easier.
And after ruminating, it was an 82 Celica. He didn’t ride all fancy like he would with an 86.

That'll provide interesting trivia to the Linesmen who fish out the parts of blind that blow into overhead wires three miles away and the firemen who try not to laugh as they're administering first aid to the dipshits who fall out of that thing.  a 60 foot sail filled with high caliber rifles and alcohol.  What could possibly go wrong?

That's the face of a guy doing 10 under in the left lane, and doesn't comprehend why people are trying to pass him on the right.

Inthink our early 90s New Yorker had them. Or they were one of the first ones with electric. The talking computer telling us the door is ajar was cutting edge

There’s a deep cut memory

My dad had some 80’s Buick that did that.

“the door is a-jar…..bong…..the door is a-jar….bong….”
