My daily driver (a 2006 Pontiac Vibe none the less) still has manual windows. I love them they always open the speed you want! and you don't need the keys with you to roll them up or down. It is handy that it is a small car and I can reach across to the passenger side though. It is a weird car though...manual windows and locks...but has heated leather seats and a power sunroof.

As a kid, "text messaging" was getting your shoes and coat on, walking a block or two, ringing to door bell to see if "Johnny" was there. AND ... year-round Street Hockey ...
I remember when drive inn theatres were one of the coolest places to go. Sneaking buddies in your trunk, along with copious amounts of liquor. I don't think most of us actually watched a complete movie. The memories I have of many nights there are priceless, and cannot be posted on here for obvious reasons. Great times!!!!
