and screw people over on repairs..

A LOT of people really don't understand the fundamentals of how automobiles work....

(from another thread)
"I was scared if I put the car in neutral it would stop suddenly" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


I think drivers ed should be updated for city folks who don't learn to drive on the farm fields at nine years old in a 70 Duster with three on the tree :)

Example: You should be able to perform the basic manuevers in this video before graduation, including a reverse drop at a 1:40 in the video... :)

Also, throwing a car in park won't do a whole lot so don't be scared of (I might shift into park accidently because shift is so complicated)...Either it'll make a bunch of racket or you'll just shear the park pin off cleanly..
