Oh God help me I learned to drive with 3 on the tree. What a nightmare! 😆
Once in college, I walked out to the dorm parking lot where a half-dozen Middle-Eastern guys were shouting in Arabic at each other around their buddy’s car.
I walked up and asked if I could help. They couldn’t get it started and didn’t have cables. It was a Trans Am with a stick. I told them I knew how to start it. They were intrigued...
I told the guy to push the clutch and we pushed it out of the parking spot. I told him to put it in first gear, and turn the key on. He insisted it wouldn’t start. I told him to trust me. Then I got his buddies to push it up to speed and told him to pop the clutch. When the engine roared to life, they did the “we just shot down and enemy plane” dance...
i bought my first truck when i was three, did 100k miles on my knees.
