You Know You Are Old When

My 1990 F250 can be very comfortable just using the fresh air vent. My 2014 CTS_V, not so much, and my 2018 Grand Cherokee is totally intolerable. Who says progress is an improvement.

As well, my 1997 Ford F250 truck doesn't really need A/C. The vents keep it cool enough plus the upright windshield cuts down on heat from the sun.

Because those tattoos sure look good after someone ages a bit. Not.

they get the tat at age 18 slender weight.
40 years later with wrinkles that were never there before, an additional 40-100lbs and the fact nobody will remember what was so important way back then now you've got something more appropriate to The Twilight Zone.

Exactly. I remember my father in law’s military tattoos. They just looked like ink stains on his arms.

I remember the travel ad where the wife sees her husbands combo-over blow up and envisions a cockatiel bird, next thing you know they are on a Hawaiian vacation

Hey you know you are old if your remember a 5 cent stamp. The Forever stamp goes up a record amount to $.73 tomorrow. Forever going up! Thanks again Joe

I think you're mistaken, Joe doesn't run, nor in any way control what the USPS does. Louis DeJoy, a Trump appointee does. According to a friend that works there, he doesn't do a very good job.

What about that a Swedish dishwasher and I thought they were all made in China now.

She is not made in China, she is made in my dreams, again and again. However, she never comes home with me, so the dream continues.

Those had wing vents on the windows, correct? So cool. My 1999 does not.

Yes they do and those vent windows is where the magic happens. The slant of the windshield also makes a huge difference. I remember getting a 1994 Corolla when I lived in Maine and it was a "wind tunnel" designed car with sloped windshield.

It had no A/C because we're in Maine but the sun made that car so hot it was intolerable. I ditched it and went back to a pickup.


My 1997 F250 A/C was low on freon when I bought it but it really isn't needed. it was 90 and humid the other day and a trip to a store was neither hot or uncomfortable in that truck.

Can't comment on Mr. DeJoy's qualifications, but if I'm not mistaken there is considerable congressional meddling in the operation of the USPS. The postmaster general doesn't exactly have a free hand to run the organization.

Inflation raises the cost of everything. The current Administration has caused and supported inflation, hence my remark. Does not surprise me in the least this goes over the top of the left wing supporters.

I don't need to open the wing windows. I just put the controls on vent and add a little heat if needed. When I need more I put it on A/C and enjoy the cool air on my face without freezing my hands like when I'm driving the CTS-V or the Jeep.
