    I was going to say, memories can get seriously skewed.

    Or, sometimes it worked, but the levers were incredibly stiff and you could skip arm day at the gym if you needed to adjust the climate controls very often.

    Did it ever work? I thought they were just moral support levers?

    My dad’s truck had one of these back in the day. The switch was super flaky so you’d either be stuck with low beams or stuck blinding oncoming traffic

  • How hot do you want it?
  • How hard do you want it?
