This subject is a part of history of a bygone day that we can share with each other and the younger car guys who were not around then.

Well I sorta missed the prime muscle car days, drivers license in 1976. But, there was still fun times to be had. There were still muscle cars on a used car lot. And some of those salespeople would just throw you the keys and tell you not to wreck it! And I got real lucky in 1983 when a new car salesman threw me the keys on a new Mustang GT with a stick! I came home with my buddy holding on the grab bars for dear life as I pitched it sideways coming into the cul-de-sac. My dad came out and my buddy said "no offense Mr. Lee but your son's one crazy driver!" My dad grabbed the keys, side-stepped the clutch at 5K and my buddy said "oh, I see now..."
And what about those rental cars with sticks...?!?
