    My 2014 Ford Focus is like that. This is the first time I've heard of another car with this feature!

    Mine are hand crank, not "no crank" whatever that means!

    That was not terribly uncommon, especially among lower-priced cars. It got "power windows" on the marketing sheets without having the expense of putting motors and switches on all four windows.

    I have to say, I like power windows except when I want to leave a window open just a quarter-inch or so to let the interior dry out (melte slush, etc.). Then they're a pain. 90% of the time, though, they're one of the things I never needed until I had them (up there with a garage door opener and central air conditioning).

    [QUOTE=Rogar;352449]Here's a few questions I've pondered.

    Why do you saute onions first when they will go into a dish that is going to cook anyway.

    Why do celebrities who most likely are well set with millions and millions endorse cheesy products. Like William Shatner, former Commander of the Starship Enterprise promoting CPAP cleaning machines machines, or Joe Namoth selling reverse mortgages, or Alex Trebek and life insurance.

    Is forcing some businesses and public areas closed due to CV-19 risk really against the constitution, or is that just something the protesters totally fabricate.[/QUOTE
    ]
    I cant speak about other celebrities but Mr Shanter does have a horse habit and shows his horses... And as a life long horse person who also shows horses … Its a very expensive endeavor. so that might be the reason for his "side hustle" . NFL star Terry Bradshaw is also into horse and showing in the big leagues too and has been in a few commercials too. I have a "side hustle" too but no one is asking me to endorse anything right now
    Or maybe its to keep them occupied so they don't become OCD about their lawns

    I guess you missed the forum etiquette sticky that says be polite, positive, friendly, civil and respectful, not hostile or insulting.

    Boss, I wondered the same thing about the celebrities. Maybe they keep blowing through all their money.

    I would also like the forum to return to "polite, positive, friendly, civil and respectful, not hostile or insulting."

    I have always loved Steve Martin. I know he is too silly for some.
