I think some of the hand gestures are still around with teens because they are mimicking the older generation.

When I took my road test, we had to use hand signals as well as the directional signals. I hear no one does that anymore. (of course we had to get out and crank the car to start it)...

My 2006 Kia Rio had roll down windows. I could have opted for electric, but wanted something bulletproof. I had planned on driving that car until the 10 year warranty was up, then pass it on to my son as his first car to trash. Then 4 years later a pretty Mini Cooper S caught my eye...
Pretty sure you can still get them on Smarts too. But roll down windows do seem to be something of an oddity these days.

From what I understand, the reason the Elio has power windows instead of roll-down, was because the hardware for power windows is cheaper than for installing roll-down windows.

I have hand crank windows in my 2005 Sunfire. I also don't have power door locks. No ABS either. No alarm system.
One hell of a exhaust rattle, a hole in the front bumper, big dent in the fender thanks to Bambi, and my big hand print dented into the trunk after 261,000 miles makes it say MINE!
"Your car is a complete piece of crap, but damn does it heat up fast."
- my wife's words last night as we took my daughter to dinner.

Not "slapped together"! "Cobbled together"! As in the quote from the comic strip Sheldon, "The English language was carefully, carefully cobbled together by three blind dudes and a German dictionary."
I'm sure I mentioned this on another thread. My ex's BFF's kids love riding in my ex's car, because she has the manual roll-down windows. They think that it's so cool that you can roll down the windows without having to turn on the car!
"I wish someone would invent a phone you could hang on the wall so you wouldn't lose it." (teenaged son to a friend of mine.)
Almost 7 years ago I found myself in big box store in a conversation with two college freshmen. They had been looking at portable phones to use in their dorm room, and I mentioned how those things wouldn't work if the power was out. Next thing I know I'm telling them about the quality of service laws governing the dial-up phone system, how they'll work regardless of the weather, and how cell towers (at the time, don't know about now) were not federally mandated to have these same guarantees of service. After 3 days all the cell tower batteries in New Orleans had died -- bye bye cell phones.
And don't get me started on these new-fangled flat screen monitors!
