Just received my Westways magazine from AAA and it has an interesting article in it about obsolete vehicle features. What do you think? Can you think of more features that will eventually be phased out of vehicles? Here are the specific features with my own personal view on the subjects.


1. Ashtrays and lighters. We car lovers need more outlets for our electrical gadgets! Plus, this is California, who smokes anymore?

2. Bench seats. Ahh yes, bench seats. As a woman, I miss a bench seat in a car so I can sit close to my hunny. Cars have gotten so sporty now, we all want race car seats instead!

3. Mechanical door locks. Just another reason for a man to be able to hold something in his hand and have full control . They are handy when my arms are full of shopping bags, though.

4. Manually adjustable outside mirrors. I will NOT miss this feature! Who the heck wants to open the window doing mach 2 and mess your hair up?
