Had a Tercel 4wd wagon with a 6 speed with granny low. Used the granny to push a couple cars on snow and ice.
Had a 1947 Chevy Fleetmaster. They had 3 on the tree with a vacuum booster on the shifter to make the shifter easy to move.

Battaglin Update - I know you were all just DYING for this!!!

Before this afternoon's ride, I rotated the bars down a fair bit. Rode 4 miles with them like that, but that was too far. So I rotated them up a bit and rode another 4 miles. Rotated them up just a smidge, and that was much better. They're still rotated a bit relative to their starting point, and I think I'll stop there.

I also had an '83 Chevy Cavalier station wagon which was a great bike hauling car.

In ~1980 I also had a 1943 CJ-2 or 3 Jeep which had a top speed of 45 and could get 15 mpg if I was easy on the gas pedal.

In 1972 I had a 1958 International Harvester panel truck. It would go 55 but that was pushing it. It must have had a 4:56 differential or something.

I have a thing for the scion frs/subaru brz. I just really like the way that car looks. Reminds me of the supra. But it’s only 2 door and with one child plus another one in the future it won’t work. Honda made a 4 door sedan look sexy, and it has a little hatch back thing going. It will prolly be the only car I ever buy new for myself, so that’s what I want to go with.

Interesting. It was my mother who taught me, and in upstate NY a LOT of women drove sticks.

Same. But I'm using it as practice for the 3:30 start coming up in just under two weeks. It's one thing to be awake early in bed; a different ball of wax to be driving.
