I drive a car that uses these. People look at me like I'm pitiful when I have to crank that fucker
LonelyBrannigan
Yeah poor people will always know what that is ;)
tacodoctor71
Those damn kids who aren't up to date on obsolete technology...the bastards
DVSBSTrD
No thanks, I'd much rather have an electric system. That way, the next time I drive my car into a lake, I won't pussy out of suffocating.
SMHandSmiling
Had to explain a "busy signal" to kid that thought phone was broken...
AlbinoRick
They still make these so yeh they probably will....
MisterIncognitus
Fun Fact. Millennials can only afford cars with these windows.
iHearGreen
I do it was on my grandpa's favorite chair
iHearGreen
H-he drove a lot...keyword : drove
Loraxis
a door knob! for windows!
goofyfoot2010
Works under water
MrPhineasGage
My daily driver still has those....
BluestedSRT
most rich people won't even have a clue about, breaking the crank and attaching a pair of vise-grips to the stud.
zinkyre
If you're poor and buy the basic model like me, you still have those.
ImSoHM02
I have one in my 2009 Jeep Wrangler, two in fact.
zlzsnakezlz
Do people really not know what this is? I feel like they have to right?
TypIch
We bought a new Dacia Duster and guess how you open the backdoor windows.
ikilled
Stegosaurus toy?
DelRio2016
HAHA - my kids just seen one for the first time. Had a hard time figuring it out.
pikeyboy
And we all tried to pretend we had electric by trying to master a perfect roll down

And making the motor noise
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
Omg that is hilarious but so true.

Yeah, maybe the ones who are 8 and have only been to their parents car. If you're a millenial, you know this shit.

Ffs Millennial. I did not spend 1999 typesetting flyers to let people drop that second N now. millennial. millennial. millennial!

OnlyWombats
Born in 01 here, yes, we have these cars
JaxAndHisLampPost
To be fair, most cars made by 2000 featured only automatic windows, which would be most 16 year olds.
ISexualityIdentifyAsYourMom
I'm 16 totally know what it is.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
Right, because all cars made before 2000 just magically disappeared off the face of the planet
happyishturtle
Im 18 and I remember cars having these
LaBix
Electric windows are still an option in a lot of cars, especially for rear windows.
IHaveComeToBargain
Yeah I have a 2002 car and it has automatic windows!
Kulned
Not for cheaper car models
EnglishCrumpet
My car is an 08 and has manual windows and locks. Its a terrible car.
JaxAndHisLampPost
I said most, not all...
NeverLeaveYourWingman
08 cobalt. Nothing automatic in that damn car at all lol (base model I guess)
Giordino
My company car, a 2016 Renault Clio, still has these for the rear windows!
ballisticks
As does my '16 Fiesta
Rips4w
It's the Steam logo.
Derfalke
Recently had a motor go out on one of my windows. Really made me miss the old fashioned crank. Less chance to fail.
yamahog
the wire harness on one of my old jeep's doors wore through, so I bought a scrap door with a crank window and swapped the internals #fixedit
whatupmyknitters
i remember in one of my mom's old cars the gear for the window crank barely caught the other gear to lower the window. it skipped a lot.
LarvaLamp
I had an old Subaru where if you put down a window, it wouldn't go up for at least 24 hours. Like it had a countdown timer on it XD
vroomvroomsplat
Cheap to fix
LarvaLamp
$300 per door in a 91 Miata, my friend.
vroomvroomsplat
Miatas don't need doors they need eye protection
LarvaLamp
Good point.
AGiantTransWoman
"hurr hurr, stupid young people." I'm 18 and 2/3 of my cars have them. Go away. Many older cars had electric as options, too.
flagbasher
My 71 and 87 both have electric windows.
JohnnyTitelips
Also Jeep Wranglers still come with them.
happyishturtle
Woah woah woah I'm 18 how the hell have you already had 3 cars? I'm still working to get my first..
OSCgal
My brother had 4 before he graduated high school. 20 years later he's starting his own used car lot. He just enjoys buying/selling.
HandsomeJackBlack
A lot of rednecks buy junkers for cheap and fix them up
AGiantTransWoman
I guess. I bought the second (a bug) to start my mechanics career on my own. Third (VW Squareback) as a driver. First (Lincoln) because Lncn
rykinshin
Older men will pay well for an 18 year old giant bundle of sticks.
happyishturtle
Ew...
Tornadotaco
With manual stick
AGiantTransWoman
Two Volkswagens and a mid-late 80's Lincoln. All under 1k. 1973 VW Squareback, 1970 Bug, 87 Continental. Bought the bug to fix, 1/2
AGiantTransWoman
2/2 to start my mechanic career. Bought the Squareback as a driver. Bought the Lincoln cause I love me a Lincoln, and it was cheap.
AGiantTransWoman
3/3 (oops) Being that the Bug was only 500, the Lincoln was 750, and the Squareback was 850, it's not all that hard to afford some oldies.
whatupmyknitters
the thing is, people older than you will chuckle at the way things used to be, and they don't care about not annoying you.
Snaggley
I'm 19 and my 1998 ford contour and 67 Impala has those.
bemanresu
19 and got a 1995 ford ranger. Old, but it works.
ThomasFernandez
Awe yea got a 69 Chevelle myself.
chip700r
How did you afford a 67 Chevy anything at 19
Snaggley
I was saving up for a long time and it was really cheap for what I got I was looking on Craigslist for months to find one.
Snaggley
Also it's not perfect but I've been slowly fixing it up. I was looking at cars that were 7ish years old and my 67 was cheaper.
bemanresu
That annoying fucker that sits exactly where your knee should rest
QweeferSutherland

hawkesnightmare
On my car, I have a cupholder in the door. If the cup is larger than a soda can, this handle will hit it when rolling.
Shabado
I would pull if off and place it in another position

Slothophileatli
All the way home!
WasThatAFartOrAShart
Many work trucks/vans still have those.
beefyman
Again, why would kids these days even be in a work truck
AnthonyPeterson
Because of jobs? The van at my work has manual door locks, windows, and barely functional A/C. I'm 20.
WasThatAFartOrAShart
First jobs? You've gotta start somewhere.
HickLife
Because we work?
DefunkMyJunk
What kind of bullshit is that ? My brother has a <10 y/o car that still has these. It's not an old thing, it's a budget thing
Barkinsons
Yeah my car is 7 years old and has this. Cheap car, but works nicely
thisaggressionwillnotstandman
Yeah, my 2015 Ford Focus has these for the back windows because I bought the cheapest model.
Olec
Power windows are incredibly cheap to add compared to the cost of a car. It's not a budget thing, it's an upsell thing.
DefunkMyJunk
You could also say it's for maintenance costs I guess
CongratsYouAreHereNow
just like your girlfriend
DefunkMyJunk
I have a 15y/o car that has an electric window
DavidBrooker
Living dangerously. When I buy old cars, I seek out the absolute minimum number of electrical features that may break.
retrohellix
That's why he said "budget thing," I have an '05 Chevy with the window handles, and used to drive a 1987 Toyota with electric windows.
DefunkMyJunk
Well I'm the same commenter lol
retrohellix
Well, shit lol, didn't even read the username.
JiveTian
My shop truck still has em. Even a stick coming out of the floor too
ShitLordOfUSub
I was confused until i realized that stick shift
Last1toKnow
Fully interactive driving experience
DatGoldenBoi
My Mazda has two sticks one for shifting and one for 4wheel and it confuses almost all my friends.
grumplestiltzkin
My last car had both of em. The replacement just has the stick in the floor but the only way to get the top down is with your arm.
invalidredditor
Try three on the tree. That'll confuse those kids
JiveTian
Those are really hard to drive
vroomvroomsplat
I had 1977 Ford F100 regular with a V8 and a column shift. I miss that truck.
Bravo21Niner
You've never driven until you've driven a twin stick transmission.
unshartedterritory
A tractor?

S10
N0ticeablyFAT
Same here! It has a switch on the floor as well. And wing windows!
SkepticalFriend
I'll take standard over automatic any day, but I love my one click windows.

My little c1 has both! But I do live in the UK so it's not very unusual...
acornforscale
My 2016 has both!
Arizoniac
What kind of car?
acornforscale
Jeep wrangler. Ordered it that way.
frontrangeatlantic
You can still get a lot of cars with manual windows and/or manual transmission. Most trucks and most compact cars still have them at least.
vroomvroomsplat
Anti-theft device.
mortiseraphim
Also extremely tedious to try and find a new car with all the options you want and still be standard. Lazy ass drivers...
AngryVelvetUnicorn
Best one ever.
TwoSeamer
Definitely in US (am foreign and all we have in Europe are sticks, mostly). I hate autos and have owned 2 cars, both sticks
jamer1596
I live in the US, have had two autos and two manuals. Hated the autos, love the manuals.
iamaninternet
Manuals are fine (and unique in the US), but bay area traffic sucks in them. I'm tempted to get an auto for my next car, quite honestly. (so
iamaninternet
long as it has one of those tiptronic modes - I hate not being able to select an exact gear when I'm driving through hills)
TwoSeamer
Yeah I realize city traffic in it sucks, I live in a smaller city, but I see it as a price for having more fun behind the wheel
JiveTian
That and none of my friends ask to barrow the truck since they can't drive manual.
IOnlyFavouriteDogPictures
I don't know anyone who drives an auto. Here in the UK majority of cars are manual.. Having an auto is a weird thought to me.
JiveTian
Yeah it's the complete opposite here in the states. Probably cause were lazy
Wesss789
I feel you, I drive manual but 97% of my friends don't know how to and like 60% of them don't even know how to check their oil. Like what
bananathundercats
ironically, the majority of european sports cars with manuals are sold in the states
