Kids these days have no idea what cars were like in the 1970's. Starting a cold car in the winter typically went something like this: 1. The door keylock is frozen over with ice. Chisel way at the lock with your metal car key until you can unlock it (15-20 mins) 2. Put key in ignition lock, turn and 3. rrr-rrr-rrr-rrr-rrr 4. rrr-rrr-rrr-rrr-rrr ... 5. wroorwr-wroorwr-wroo, @#%! 6. get jumper calbes and running car from family member/friend/stranger 7. remove the air filter cover (big round disk on top of the engine back then), and spray starter fluid directly into the carburetor. 7. start car 8. car immediately stalls as soon as you let off the gas 9. start car again, this time hold at 3000 rpm until engine heats up 10. Enjoy the sweet sweet smell of tetraethyl lead in the copious exhaust while you wait 11. Start driving 12. After about 10 mins steam starts to appear under the hood and temperature gauge maxes out as improper water/coolant mix (sometimes just 100% water) boils 13. Wait 30 mins for radiator to cool enough that you can open it safely and put proper mixture of antifreeze/water (you carry several gallons of each in the trunk) Once you do get it going, don't forget to stop at a gas station as your car probably gets less than 12mpg. The full service attendant will check your oil and let you know it's "a quart low". Not bad, it's been two weeks since you last put a quart of oil in.
