I laughed out loud several times at this.
It's kind of sad that a lot of younger folks won't have this kind of experience. Muscling a 1973 Ford F150 around with no power steering, I learned many, many things about driving. Having to do hill starts with a 3-on-the-tree, I learned many, many more.
A recalcitrant, finicky, or otherwise nearly broken car is a source of much distress, but also character building. And often a source of many fond rememberances--albeit far, far in the future.
- tclancy 5y agoHa, yeah, with new cars there’s no reason to try to talk things out and reason with them because there’s no sense they are just being stubborn.
- deltarholamda 5y ago>with new cars there’s no reason to try to talk things out and reason with them because ...because there's a solid chance the car will talk back. Welcome to the future! Your car will sass you, and you will like it!
- Corrado 5y agoOh my Dad's old Chevy stepside was a bear to drive. That 3-on-the-tree gave me fits. On the upside, I can drive just about any car on Earth now without too much trouble.
