Howard, cars accompany my whole life, they were my first love when I was 14. Many developmental stages passed me by, the importance of drum brakes faded out, leaded fuel was withdrawn from sale, incandescent bulbs with double-contact bayonet caps have gone out of style, three-point seat belts came and the asbestos ban, radial ply tires replaced bias tires, ohc, double-ohc, plastics, metallic finish, environmental aspects, electronics, injections, aerodynamic started their triumph, at the moment assistance systems are the latest craze.
With age I won a kind of general overview and realized that most of so-called revolutions have been nothing else than evolutions, quantitative milestones instead of qualitative developments (four valves, five valves), combinations of known things (engine management systems = injection + electronics), refinements (V-ribbed belts), new media (synthetic oils), advanced materials (composites, ceramics), advanced technologies (adhesive bindings), doublings (all-wheel drive, 6V/12V).
After more than 100 years a car is a car. Crankshafts in internal combustion engines translate up and down piston motion into rotation that drives rubber wheels. That's it. Where is the often promised big jump?

Some few developments are really new, as for instance GPS and air bags. Highly likely the majority of languages around the globe don't have own expressions for these innovations because such kind of devices don't have comparable forerunners. They are new. Air conditioners belonging to that category and the German language needed several decades to find a German translation for it.
What I'm trying to say is that living in a warm area and driving a car with or without A/C is as different as day and night. Howard, a great many people have read your previous threads that revolved around aircons. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful we are. Keep up the good work.
