Heh... just think of the confusion a column-shift manual transmission would cause among the carjacker crowd. At least with a floor shifter, there’s a shift pattern right there on the lever.

Yeah, I was just thinking about the old Ford Falcon with 3 on the tree. I could put my arm around my girl, drink a DP, smoke a cigarette and still manage to shift the thing.

I'd be lucky to find my glasses and say 'whut'? today, if in the same situation. ;)

I used to drive a 1962 MBz with a 4-on-the-tree.
