My 'Dan Hughes' story occurred back in High School when I was stupid as
to the ways of the mechanical world. I had a 1977 Honda Civic, and it
was my first car waith a manual transmission. I was sitting in it in the
driveway after school one day, and a thought crossed my head. "I wonder
if the engine will start with the car in gear?" I put the transmission
in first, turned the key, and sat helplessly as my car bounced into the
garage door. I couldn't stop laughing when it actually bounced backwards
from the garage door. When I cut the engine off, my first action was to
quickly look around to make sure no one had seen me.
