When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

As for the dimmer switch on the floor. I wish they would bring that back, it was actually an easier maneuver to hit the dimmer than using the stick on the steering column.

As for the high beams on the floorboards, I remember those. Had 'em on an old Oldsmobile, and a ~'62 Nova convertible if I recall.
