So, when is Men's History Month, or did I miss it?

The world's population is almost an equal split, 50.4% men, 49.6% women.
So, we should expect equal billing, right?

Basically, every month is Men's History Month. Or hadn't you noticed? :)

Sometimes my wife wishes I was history . . . . does that count? :E

remember when dashboards were hard metal, no padding?

There were dozens of different shift patterns and locations for automatic transmissions, Chrysler push button on the left of the dash, column, some with park at the top or far left, some with park at the bottom, drive and reverse in different locations

GM with the 4 position key, one was unlocked and you could start the car w/o a key in the ignition.

and the wonderful Gov't mandated spedo with a max speed display of 85mph in the 1980's

suicide rear doors, really nice to get into the back seat. has shown a revivial in a few cars.

I remember picking up a Consumer Reports in a book store long ago (but not 70 years, I am not that old) and read the review on the Crown Vic which was that the car was awful. Next I looked up the Grand Marquis and discovered that it had a great rating! I haven't given them much thought since that happened.

My dad had on of the those GM cars that didn't require a key, it was a 1963 Belair. He not only left it in the unlock position but also left the key in the trunk lock, ready to use. Never had a problem from either one, except for friends taking the key out of the trunk lock and bringing it to him. The original keyless car. For people that had grown up in small towns with horses and wagons vehicle security did not seem to be very important.

Cause you know someone out there is thinkin it!

I’m just glad that, thus far, black vehicles haven’t been cancelled…. I mean look at the symbolism there. Worked hard, left out in the rain, sometimes never cleaned or maintained…
What’s that say about how we treat black things? Lol

Just like there’s no White History Month either….
Look at the uphill social battle all us poor overworked underserved white men have to endure! Lol

But good one 4x!
