I had one fall out in the middle of nowhere............

I had a '51 Chevy pickup with a 3-speed column shift that would shift into the middle of nowhere trying to get to 2nd.

I had a ‘81 Ford pickup with a 3-speed column shift that the throw-out fork broke and I was stuck in 2nd for six miles in heavy traffic. At stop lights I had to jam the brakes on hard to kill the engine and restart in 2nd gear! People sure looked at me funny with a bucking truck...............

Push button starter, air-vacuum windshield wipers, throttle on dash. Been there, done that.
