I drove a trolley a few weekends ago in Yakima, Washington, as part of a tour. It was fun.

Of course when I cranked that controller into 4th position parallel, the regular driver almost had a fit. My passengers, however, thought it has hilarious.

When I was in high school I worked in a small business whose owner was a close friend of an Indy car racing team crew chief. He went to Indianapolis every year in May for the big race, and once got to drive one of the backup cars around the track during the week before the race.

He was told to drive it at a "reasonable speed," which he took to mean 180 mph or so. There was a lot of concern among the crew members that day as he whipped around the track.

Oh, and he was 84 years old at the time, too. LOL.
