From what we have weaned

Adjust the choke
On carbureted engines had the handle which extends itself before starting the engine. Very often it was used in the cold. In the driver's slang this thing called "choke" and many people mistakenly believe that it we opened the throttle just as the gas pedal. In fact, the correct name for this system to handle dresser, because it opens the gate, allowing the carburetor feeding more fuel, not air. The resulting enriched mixture is burned in a better engine is cold. Over time, the carbs "learn" to regulate the composition of the mixture, and later their general ousted ruling today, the injection system with a bunch of sophisticated sensors.



Plant with "Curve starter»
If the battery sat Soviet driver never despaired, and opened the trunk and took out from there, "starter curve" - ​​a special crank, which is inserted into a hole near the grille, and is attached to the tip of the crankshaft. Unwind, Engine starts without any battery. The holes for the "Curve starter" stopped doing even more Lada in the 90, because the handle often break fingers and even hands, unwind from the institution of the engine. Uncomplicated system now mainly used by the inhabitants of the northern hinterland and lovers of off-road on the old UAZah.



Drained
Not so long ago antifreeze became ubiquitous. In Soviet times, most of the cars drove by their common water cooling system. Before the winter season the water is drained through a special tap. And if you need to go somewhere, you had to first flush the system with hot water to warm the engine, and then pour a new batch. Any motorist was laid up at home for a couple buckets of water heating on the stove.



Twist "paddles»
"Oars" commonly called pen mechanical window lifters. On older vehicles, they certainly still have, but even behind the new habitual buttons than pens.



Check all doors
More recently, central locking on the car was from the category of optional features. The driver closed the door with a key, and then went around and looked around, all the doors are locked, if omitted everywhere "dog».



Pull out the antenna
The first FM radio stations appeared in Russia in 1990, and we are fully settled at these wavelengths only at the end of 90th. Before that, people listened and VHF (very high frequency) and HF (short wave), and CB (medium wave) and even LW (long wave). For these ranges were needed long retractable antenna. Now receivers are content with small compact antenkami that sometimes imperceptible.



Rewind tapes
What if I want to listen to your favorite track again? Today we press a button and the song plays again. But once had to include rewind ... And it does not always guess when to stop it.



Connect CD-changer
Not only cassettes, laser discs and gone. Now listen to music on them, only incurable retromany and those who pity money on USB-recorder. And some seven years ago, CD-changer for six or even eight disks are considered very hot commodity sellers of additional equipment in salons.



Close the radiator carton
Ram air cooled engines as some cars that to maintain the high temperature of the engine (and therefore - and better jobs "stove") covers the front part of the drivers carton. In the north, now some motorists continue this tradition, but in the middle lane and megacities such tricks have long gone out of fashion.



Remove wipers at night
Who would go to the market to buy "beushnye" wipers, if easier to buy new for a penny? Previously, it was practiced, so the poor teenagers looking for earnings, filmed at night on the brush again. Had before leaving home to shoot them and put under the seat. Now you can leave on the mind - willing to attempt almost no.



What we have forgotten how to do the day after tomorrow?
Navigate by map
Established navigators as an option now available on almost all cars, although they are often inadequately expensive. However, the navigation software for smartphones or separate "hinged" navigator gradually become one of the required attributes. Paper maps inevitably thing of the past.



Look around when you rebuild
Why would once again turn my head if there alarm about the approaching parallel moving vehicle rear? This piece is currently only available on luxury cars, but probably soon appear on the "low-».



Learn to park
Parktronic, camera front, back and sides ... you can not look back. And still gaining popularity automated parking system, both parallel and perpendicular. It seems that soon we will be throwing the car is hit or miss, and she will park better than any professional.
