I saw this on Facebook this morning and it cracked me up.

 

 

LOL!! Some people claim it's a "convenience" thing, but Spongebob may be onto something...

 

I like a story I was told about 3 young boys tried to steal a 57 Chevy but only made it about 2 blocks down the road. A witness said it was bucking and stalling and after restarting several times they left it in the middle of the road and got out and ran.

 

They call the clutch pedal the "Millenial-Proof Theft Device"

 

How about the push button starter theft prevention?!

 

48-54 Chevy trucks had the starter foot pedal next to the gas pedal. So that made 4 "pedals" plus a foot operated ebrake to the left and the dimmer switch.....

 

An automatic is convenient, but there is something special about shifting gears.

 

And Steve Hillenburg , Creater of SpongeBob , died last week at age 57. He had been a science teacher and came up with cartoon characters to teach his kids about marine life.

 

I saw that, Abe. I always liked Spongebob and am not afraid to admit it. I typically despise memes, but then they throw the spongebob characters in there, I can't help but laugh. Unfortunately I can relate to Squidward all too well....

 

what about the old buicks that had the starter under the gas pedal

 

Nothing is more nostalgic to me than "three on the tree"....

 

Three on the tree with a foot starter is the ultimate anti-theft device.

 

Stick is always best in my opinion!

 

Yes I remember those too. Also how about the early 60s Dodge/Plymouths/Valients with the push buttons for the automatic transmission.
