an S-100 system, now that I think on it. Though shortly before I'd
been turned down for a loan to get $12,000 worth of Cromemco gear
and assorted peripherals (early 1979).
Back in 79 or so most vehicles still had vinyl seat covers and cloth was an
option and as someone else pointed out the newer tires/tyres have less carbon
and more insulative silicon now. I don't remember ever getting nailed when on
a vinyl cover, other than the 'roids screaming in pain on a frozen seat.
Anyone remember the Denim option for the Gremlin way back when? Boy could we
start a thread on cars that were worse junkers than some failed computers
huh?
