Man, I remember back when custom stereos were really popular. Almost everyone had some sort of variation of the detachable face stereos in their car.
Also, you forgot to add manually having to lock all the doors.

All of this is still my reality. I got my first car a year ago for €100. It drives me to work every day. :) Love my baby, he is doing a good job even with no automatic windows, no AC, no remote key and all that stuff. My Custom radio has Bluetooth, what do you want more?
I still do bottom right. Whoever owned my car before me obviously didn’t and the steering wheel cover has melted into the wheel itself.
I am irritated by electric windows. Every time I park and turn off the car someone (often me) has left their window down.
In Arizona, we all do. We have to.
Why do steering wheel locks seem so much less popular now? Same with the reflectors. Nothing’s changed about the best way to keep the car cool while you’re not in it but I almost never see them anymore and I’m in Australia of all places. Those things and to a lesser extent the steering wheel locks were everywhere in the 90s.
Because engine immobilisers are a thing, that’s also why car keys are so expensive. The engine won’t start without the correct key so no need to worry about the wheel.
As for reflectors, the people that use them might just opt for ceramic window tints.

Unless of course you drive certain models of Kia and Hyundai
I still use the rotater for door glass
Top left and bottom right is something I still do.
People still steal those?
No, afaik, but my car’s radio didn’t even support USB/BT, so I swapped it with an aftermarket equipment an it came with removable front anyway.
Wait… I was born after the 90s and got my first Car a year ago. It still has a Detachable Radio, No Automatic Windows and also … is the last pic a trick against heat if you have no AC? Because I also have no AC and I always fucking die when I enter my Car after Work when the sun was blasting on it for some time. Are you telling me that I can just place that thing that is normally against ice in Winter in there and my Car stops overheating? I must be misunderstanding. This cant be so easy right?
Wait, your telling me I can just place that thing that normally stops your Car from overheating and it helps against ice in the Winter?
I always thought that’s its only use case
I have never known this was also for ice and now I must try. Thank you!
It’s not. It’s designed to be inside as a sun reflector. People just use them to block ice formation too but they won’t last as long that way. They weren’t designed to be rained/snowed on and frozen…but they aren’t expensive so does it really matter?
I think it stops ice forming by still being inside, by reflecting light and heating up the windshield, but I could be mistaken.
Thats the main usecase lol
Those three shits are pretty much needed in my country lol.
Except that I have electric windows.
