I thought of that as I typed it and laughed. For some reason, spending time on forums doesn't feel like effort to me. I like to discover other points of view, and test my own against rational criticism.

My old car had crank windows. 12 years I drove it and thought it was fine. I see the other side now and it's (mostly) a good thing.
My Acura (Honda) will lower all of the windows if I give a double press and hold on the unlock button of my keyfob. Those with power windows should see if they have a similar feature.

I used to think hand crank windows were superior, but as I think about it, I've had many strip and fall off, but have never had a bad power window.
