A friend of mine had a Dodge Omni, 4-speed with a low-high shifter beside it. Being the farm boy I was, I showed him how to "split-shift". We shifted that car 6 times to go from 0-30!

When my father was teaching me to drive...in the Rambler, every time I would shift, he would say "now don't shift too fast, or you will strip the gears, and ruin the transmission"---every time...

There aren't too many times that I drive a standard transmission that I don't play that "tape" in my head..LOL
