Comment Re:Well... kinda (Score 1) 106

Good article to read! I had an experience in 2005 where I used my 1975 F250 Super-cab to take some young kids (like nephew & niece to me) fishing in the river flats and got stuck. This was on a low maintenance road with potholes, one of which I got stuck in. We walked back to a paved road and flagged a new looking Dodge pickup, I asked the owner to tow me out of the pothole and the jerk said he did not want to get his truck dirty (I kid you not!). Even then people bought trucks to look good. Well I found another guy who was turkey hunting with a little Ford car (can't remember the model) who took us to the kids' place and I got unstuck with the friend's 1970 K10 Blazer.

They stop making push button shifters because women broke their finger nails using them. Probably wouldn't be a problem today with softer button etc.

If I recall correctly, the push button transmission shifter did result in issues like when driving 50 mph a push of a button would put you in Park with bad things happening.
