These kids don't know. They don't know about being stranded, having to walk 3-4 miles hoping to find a pay phone just so you can call someone to come get you.

The cool thing was that generally someone would stop for you. If they didn't have the tools to fix it, they'd at least give you a lift somewhere.

I personally won't stop for anyone anymore, we've grown too selfish, disrespectful and violent as a society for me to waste my time or life helping someone out. It's sad that it's come to this and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in my opinion.

Ever have to push start a manual because of a dead battery?

The trick is to park facing forward on an incline so you can roll to a start. Same thing when you have an automatic and reverse is shot.

Both. I've had a stick with a bad battery I couldn't afford to replace and a car without reverse. Yeah, I've pushed cars.

Oh yeah. Used to have a '63 Bug with a 6-volt battery. Happened now and then.

That makes sense, that there wasn't a fuel gauge in the VW until 1962. This is how it looked from 1962 to 1967.

Before that, when you ran out of gas, there was a reserve tank, and to enable it, one would turn the valve located in the footwell of the front seats 90 degrees.

The average new car gets 24.5 miles per gallon.

I have a 22 Tiguan that averages around 23 in the city. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

Nothing more German than the people’s car…., and my breakfast. Smoked pork hock and sauerkraut…, my apartment reeks of the father land.
