lost its reverse gear and I drove it for a couple of months like that

My brother had that, too. You learn quickly what things you can't do. Forgot late one night and parked it nose against a fence, slightly downhill. Got some other drunks to push him out.

One of my buddies had a stick shift car with no starter, so he had to look for downhill parking spaces. Roll and pop the clutch!

I miss the cars we grew up with. Had an mgb that I had to coax the carburetor and a other cars that were bailing wire fixes. Auto inspections and leftist car politics killed interesting driveway ingenuity.
