When "an ugly dish" meant literally having a 20-30' diameter dish in your yard.

Nothing like looking like a NASA tracking station, eh?


You say that like there is something wrong with that??? :D

I see nothing ugly or wrong there. :)

More antennas the better. My vehicle has 4 on mounted on it, and no I am not an amateur radio user. Most of the fleet has at least 3, GPS, 800MHz trunked, 4GHz PS, others have VHF & UHF as well.

Dear Friends,

Sadly, I have forgotten how to make a poll, but am wondering nonetheless, how many of the younger members here know what a choke does.

Choke regulates the amount of air the carbeurator gets during cold weather startups or just plain cold weather. ..

BTW 37 too old for the ?? I hope not...
Agreed, us 37 year olds are quite young today...

BTW, wondering how many here remember the VHS and BETA war...the telephones that actually had a **Real** ringer, 8-tracts, (And cassettes for that matter), laserdiscs (as opposed to the DVD's we have now), oh, and yeah, the laser turntable ---- that was an anomaly, appearently it wasn't any better then the diamond needles. Tubes in TV's, radio's and amplifiers that actually had NO IC's in them. Back in those days, 80 watts was good and clean....

One would presume it is the command line version of electronic engine management, so to speak, but damn, I feel old, looking at the lever down to the right of the steering wheel.

For those genuine devotees of trivia, it was also on the right when the steering wheel was on the correct side of the motorcar.

I am 23 and I know what a choke is. I think most people probably would since I do, even though I never have had a car which uses a carburetor as my oldest care was a 1978 280Z and even that was fuel injected.
