It's all Moonpie's fault.

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is no longer the best selling album of all time. (I didn't realize that this was bothering me until I heard this news bit. Nobody doesn't like the "Eagles Greatest Hits".)

IBTL with more important stuff:
Did you know that you can still buy a steering wheel spinner knob at AutoZone?

There's a spinner knob on my boat wheel. It's solid stainless steel and mounted on a bearing. If you give it a spin it will spin for quite some time.

 

[SloppyShooter]

Yeah, you can put those spinners on boats, golf carts, tractors, or off-road vehicles....just not on road cars.

You can, it's just not legal.

Most people believe electricity flows from the positive terminal of a battery to the negative, but the opposite is actually true.

I have not seen anyone post them by the street name, "necker knobs". They were called necker knobs because you could use your left hand to steer and you righ arm wen around you girl friends neck as you drove.

We had them on our ranch trucks, they were mounted at about the 10 o'clock position sorta based upon where your left arm rested on the lower window sill. Before power steering they made the steering wheels rather large and after the vehicle got moving you could steer it with one hand, hence putting it at the 10 position.

I did not own a car with power steering, AC or an auto trans until 1974 and driving our ranch trucks, tractors and cars you learn to drive completely different in how you manage the steering.

Well that is shocking.

Have no idea why, but we always called them suicide knobs.

I absolutely judge people who turn their wheels while the car is not in motion. Ah, must be one of these kids who always had power steering in their cars. I also judge people whose windshield wipers are going, in my opinion, at the wrong speed, LOL.

Got one of them things on my little tractor. It made a world of difference running around the place doing stuff.

Because if your head slammed against the steering wheel, in the days before airbags and seat belts, you head that knob embedded in your forehead.

Why do most older drivers move to the right side of the lane before making a left turn?

LOL prob from guys who did not have GF's, just wives...

I am an older driver and I don't do that, that is how you run over the curbs. It could be city drivers that had narrow streets, I grew up in the country, driving truck, pulling horse and hay trailers and you sure did not want to hit curbs etc because it could cause a horse to stumble or hay to fall off, so I was always watching my right mirror and swung out to not hit a curb etc.

100% correct.

For that reason if you want to do a hard reboot of your cars computers and clear all codes, restore the original table parameters and force your ECM to relearn everything, you remove the Neg cable and touch it to the positive cable on the battery.

And you always cut the red wire in the last 3 seconds. BTW: Terrorists always follow a strict wire color code when assembling bombs.

Not sure if joking. If serious, please skip the last part where you're touch the neg cable to the pos one. Just wait three minutes, then reconnect. That's a lot cheaper and safer.
