Old car headlight dimmer - United Bimmer Community

Ha! I was checking out a classic Camaro. Neither pushing nor pulling the turn signal stalk dims or brings up main beams. The switch is on the floor, where the dead pedal should be! A big foot pushbutton!

I'l old enough to remember those

**TerryY** · 06-25-2005, 05:08 PM

I remember them too.
And a few other things down there too like the starter Button!

On my friend's classic mustang, there is a big pedal there too, but it is to pump the windshild washer fluid.

I can't help but to feel old now.

**TerryY** · 06-25-2005, 09:51 PM

It keeps getting easier and easier to feel Old as time passes

^^Yes, once you realize you're aging to perfection

Anyone ever use a column shift?

Oh, yeah!
I drove a three on the tree for a couple of years!

Drove a 4 on the tree once and a 4 in the Dash too

Both were European.

Grew up on 3 on the tree

"yeah remember when we had adaptive headlights and LED's"

'I remember when we had Cars" may be yours.

My Dads was "My first car had twin spares in the front fenders" ('31 Dodge roadster)

My Grandfather used to sleep on the way home from dating Grandma because the Horse knew the way home!

Your grandchildren may just get to look at your pictures and wonder why anyone would do anything that Primitive!

Wow, that really puts things into perspective. We have come a long way in not much time at all. Just think about what kind of world our grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren will be living in.

That's a scary thought . . modded Segways doing 140mph.

**mrkbik** · 06-26-2005, 01:13 PM

Maybe it'll be like Minority Report or I-Robot.

By the time you reach my age (60ish) it may be that way.
Social molding is going pretty strong right now. How many of your parents put you on drugs to make you BETTER kids?
