Roll up windows are pretty much almost extinct. Not a single compact car has roll up windows anymore. Even in the subcompact class, the last subcompact to have rollup windows -- the Toyota Yaris -- has standard power windows now. It's just the microcompacts that still have roll up windows in the base trims, as well as the Jeep Wrangler.

I would agree with you for the most part, but you might be surprised by a vehicle every now and again. I learned last week while reading a review that the base 2015 F-150 - the completely redesigned aluminum body, new style, etc... - has manual windows and locks.

I think you misread that article. It said that some guy named "Manuel" installed the windows and locks, some guy named "Jesus" installed the Jesus Clip on the shift linkage and "Jose" installed the heater core feeder line.

No wonder it leaks. Jose is blind. That's why we sing "Jose can you see", it's to make fun of Mexico.

I thought Jesus Clips held transmission cooler lines in place on Mopar vehicles.

I think the term can apply to any spring-steel clip that, when removed, goes flying to some far corner of the garage, prompting you to ask that Spanish guy "Jesus, where did it go?"

If you are riding with a crazy driving friend, you better hope their vehicle has Jesus handles.

Technical term is "Oh Shit! Handles"
