I was most pleased to not have to get electronic ignition
or windows. Both are very expensive and superfluous.
Power windows might be nice when I get too old to
reach across to put down the passenger-side
window. On the other hand, they don't work at all with
the car turned off. That can be maddening at the beach
while you wait for the driver to get in and start the car.
Or you have to get in to turn the key, in order to close the
passenger side window before it rains.
I doubt 1-2 seconds to turn the ignition to On will matter regarding how
much water has rained into your car.
Yes,it is only "a couple seconds" more. It is an annoyance. And
yes, it probably takes less time to put the key in than to manually
crank up each window.

No hand-cranked car windows here anymore...


Are cars with hand-cranked car windows still made? I haven't seen one
in many years.

Geez I haven't seen a hand cranked window in a car since I owned a Pony
30+ years ago

Although electric is convenient there are times I'd like to have it
disappear. One of my cars started having some electrical issues. One of
them is; I cannot get the back doors to unlock using switch. It is NOT
going to be easy to remove the covering with the door closed so one can
at least release the latch and open the doors far enough that if
neccessary one can disable the locks by disconnecting the wiring.

Radio goes off when one leaves the car and sometimes even if it was off
when in the car it starts while walking to house. Turn it off again with
key out and it stays off.

I'm starting to think it's the computer in the thing so looking at my
parts car and some wrenches me thinks to solve the problem. Either that
or make the problem car also a parts car as I own three Grand Am's and
almost all the parts fit any one of them.

I f'ing HATE cars!!! Such a wastefull product designed to wear out.
