Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award.

Who remembers when you had these things to open and start the car? The fan turns on with a knob, you control the heater with a slide and the AC you turn on and off with a button.

21 years later it all still works too, OEMs can go sniff my *** sweat out of the drivers seat.

Used to love my Kingswood keys. Whatever metal they used, it never rusted despite being stashed in the wetsuit every time I went for a surf.

In dodgy beach carparks, the grampa bar was used on the steering wheel for ultimate deterrent.
