I've had 2 cars with the foot dimmer. I've only ever seen the pushbutton transmission. I think one of the leaders when I was in the boyscouts had an old Dodge/Chrysler that had a pushbutton tranny.

I've seen 3 on the tree, but never driven anything but 4+ speeds.

I've seen and remember my parents having 8-tracks, but never had anything more archaic than a cassette deck myself. And I think we bought a car in 1982 that came with an 8-track that my dad promptly upgraded to cassette.

My parents had lots of LPs and even had a reel to reel when I was really little. When I was young, I had a little integrated stereo that was radio, cassette, and turntable all in one. When I was a little older I got some of my dad's old hand me down stereo gear (which was good stuff). Then when I was 15 and we were living in Japan, I bought a Sansui component system with a double auto-reverse cassette deck, turntable, CD player, tuner/amp, and passive equalizer with Kenwood speakers.
