One I forgot to add from earlier. Being able to drive down the highway with the drivers window down without feeling like you ear is constantly getting thumped.

Believe it or not my 82 bronco has better turning circle than a lot of new cars. Since the bronco is my daily drive i still get the quarter windows, proper air vent that blows straight on your legs, being able to wind down windows on highway listening to the twin lukey exhaust and the thermoquad sucking
 Things i do miss though is intermitant wipers, something i don't have. |

I don’t miss ashtrays or the awful smell a used one leaves in a car.
I don’t miss vinyl seats in the middle of January. I don’t care to think about all the seared skin I’ve left behind when you quickly jump in while wearing stubbies to suddenly realise the seat temperature has gone nuclear.

Lol yes the hot vinyl seats and your legs sweat and stick to them, and the old big chrome seat belt buckles that when you jump in the car you would sit on them and they would burn your leg.

Ability to easily/cheaply replace radio with an alternative head unit.
Round 7" headlights that could be bought cheaply anywhere. A full one book factory workshop manual at reasonable cost instead of $1700 for 3x3 ring binders.

I was going to mention bench seats and column auto, so great to move around in a big car. |
