my teacher's old car, had levers under the steering wheel that said vent. you pull them, and air would blow in on your crotch area. so my friend called it, "Twat Blaster". Lol.

they were called quarter vents, great ash flicker window, great ac when you dont have actual ac, and we were weren't rich, we used an empty matchbook, but that or a penny will indeed kill the wind whistle in a quarter vents, it wasn't a worn hinge issue as much as it was a warped seal issue, the seals for quarter windows have no real stability, they would warp from heat and usage and wear, and would lose its seal, causing the whistle, 60yrs working on cars, 45 as a niase/ase master in gas/diesel/refer, just sayin,

Oooookaaaaaay. And what does that do, exactly. I’ve owned a number of cars with wing windows. Never seen anything like that.

guess that you'll have to opt for another coin now. Pennies will no longer be printed in US Mint anymore

that looks like a red copper penny if that's the 1970 something it's valuable

well back in the 2000s pennies were like 2.5 cents to mint. should have went to nickles then. last US penny was minted on November 12, 2025, at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.

he's not an old school truck driver, he's a pickup truck driver which is not the same by any means.
