Not only that, it had a syncromesh transmission.  Meaning: you had to stop
the car completely before putting it in first.

Same problem in a 66 Mustang... it's a pain to drive in traffic because
people don't understand why you need to stop the car before moving it...

(Good way to get hit in the rear).


Yes, of course I broke it and replaced it with a 1967 "modern" transmission.


fwiw I think the poster is right... programmers drive stick shifts.
