A childhood belief about cars

When I was little my parents had this old Chevy Malibu and it had all sorts of problems. The radio only played AM stations, the defroster was always broken, the air conditioning never worked.... one winter evening we were driving down the road and the heater stopped working. I was sitting in the back seat and told my dad to turn on the believal, maybe that would work. My dad was quiet for a while as he tried to figure out what I was telling him to do and then started laughing so hard he almost had to pull over. Turns out the Bi-Level switch on the heater was not the mysterious form of heat or airconditioning that I thought it was!
