Good story Dick, I think I have one better! About 14 years ago when my
oldest was six years she was sitting in my 1912 Model T Ford. "Dad, I can
touch the pedals!" she said. "Fine then you can drive it!" I said. Cranked it
up, put the handbrake half down (neutral) and told her to hold the pedal on
the left to the floor, this is a palenatary transmission, and off we went up
to Grandma's! Neat thing about T's if you take your foot off the pedal it
just slows to a stop, great for kids to learn. Bob in connecticut

my sons to drive in a 1942 jeep. By the time my
daughter came along, there were no more stick
shifts! She only knows automatics.) >>
