Or, sometimes it worked, but the levers were incredibly stiff and you could skip arm day at the gym if you needed to adjust the climate controls very often.
That's old, but how many here recall the old car radios where you manually set a station preset by pulling the selector out, then pushing it back in? I can't even find a picture of one because of the age and trying to find the right search words.
I wouldn't classify how it worked as simple though, still seemed like magic.

For the record, It most certainly did NOT always work...

I was going to say, memories can get seriously skewed.

Did it ever work? I thought they were just moral support levers?

Seriously, pneumatic climate control can eat my whole ass

Good news, there's a vacuum leak.

This was definitely the first thing that came to mind.

These were expensive decorations in the raised-roof Chevy

They were impressively simple once you understood the basic concept.

I’m old enough to have owned a car with one of these:

That’s the point. This is three on the tree. Not an automatic column shifter.

Aw, poor car. Probably cost too much to rebuild.

This pic smells like hot glue and old french fries with an overlay of cig smoke.

I'm so happy we moved away from this and toward three basic questions:

All thanks to your mom

Close. OPs mom has an important 4th question... How much money do you have?

That's basically what these do. What's the difficulty?

My first car had one of these.

My dad's truck had one of these back in the day. The switch was super flaky so you'd either be stuck with low beams or stuck blinding oncoming traffic

Anytime I see pictures like these I can smell the car after being closed up all day in summer.
