Favorite car gizmos…

[TheSneakiness]

My favourite gizmo in the Paj is the courtesy indicator.

Flick the stalk up slightly, indicators will flash three times and done. Useful for roundabouts.

One of the things I find really useful is the flux capacitor. I’d never buy a car that doesn’t have one fitted.

I know what quarter windows are!

My add to this thread: a readout that tells me how many more miles I can drive with the fuel in the tank. I always fill it up when it reaches half tank anyway but it's always good to know how many more miles I can drive if I don't fill up.

my kids love these the go crizing with Grandad and squirty bottles, get beside right cars and quick squeeze of the ole bottle and wipers on the other car go into action.

When I was a Young hoon (as per this old one) we'd get the windscreen washers and manually turn them sideways and wet suckers going past us.
damn the dopey things we used to do and think funny.

My old Falcon ute has that.. When I first got it, I thought my indicators were faulty.

Options also available for it were am/fm radio, power aerial, "reverborator" (stereo effect), power quarter windows, cental locking, ,vacuum boot release, separate front and rear a/c & heating, front disc brakes, auto-seeking radio (foot controlled button for changing station), automatic dipping headlights, 3 or 4 speed manual trans, so "gizmos" are not a new thing.

From memory, I reckon Caddies had that in the 50s?
Wonder why it's not on present day cars?
