I can relate to that story...I had a VW bug "back in the day" and in the summer it would practically burn your leg(with heat coming in)and in the winter cold air came out...it was like baseboard heating in a home gone terribly wrong...but speaking of cars and their problems...I had an MGB roadster and I had to slam the door and turn the key at the same time to start it:yikes...the good folks at Lucas really had some electrical problems in those cars...the girl next door had a Triumph roadster and in the winter she had to use an ether solution to start the engine when it got cold
LOL! The good old days. After my 442, I had a 1973 Monte Carlo and as I was young and poor, I couldn't afford an alternator....it had some sort of short in the cable, so I ran a cable from the alternator through the floorboard and in cold weather I had to yank on the cable and turn the key at the same time to start it. hahaha
