I still feel around on the floor of the car for the button to press for high and low beam headlights.

I still find myself trying to shift my old pick up truck with the shifter on the steering column and we drive a car now. Goes to show how much time I spent in it! Loved that truck! Still miss it!

My son and I were in Virginia. I was visiting him when he was in the Army. We rented a car, but when night came we turned on the lights and couldn't figure out how to turn off the high beam. We thought we would have to not drive until daylight. We asked a policeman about it and he showed us that it was now on the stick by the steering wheel, not on the floor. That was early '80s.

When our phone rings I often land up trying to answer the phone with the t.v remote control. I know I'm getting old.
