What's the one special thing you have to tell someone that drives your hot rod that you have to do to drive it? Mine: The old switch on the floor starts it, it doesn't dim the headlights.
Turn on the cooling fan if you get into heavy, slow moving traffic. One day I'll put a temp sensor on it to do it automatically.
With power steering and power brakes, my T Bird is really easy to drive. I guess I would remind them how large it is...
Mine also drives easy, and I don't mind letting people drive it. It's insured. Unless it's an idiot, and I wouldn't let any idiot drive any car or boat that I own. Other than that, have at it. To me, It's just a car. A car I love, but a car. That's my perspective anyhow...
This! My 16 year old daughter took friends for a ride in the convertible last weekend after a local show that she took it to! They are cars, they should be enjoyed.
Count your shifts park, reverse , neutral , drive ! And watch your temp gauge in traffic and turn on the fan. This here is the choke That there is the start ****on No, there are no seat belts And yes it is loud Now frig off your not driving anymore !
I had to tell the automatic transmission repair shop where the starter ****on is. When I needed to move 2 cars across town, I told my girlfriend to go easy on the brakes on my 47 Merc with a Hemi, Later she said that she thought that meant they were not very good. haha Bendix brakes with a power brake booster. They are very responsive
I forgot what all I told them...but stuff about the shifter, the switch pitch converter, the overdrive, keep your hands on the wheel at all times, etc. It's pretty sedate, actually
I tried to let a friend drive one years ago. It had a four speed Saginaw with Hurst shifter. We never really got rolling before he got the trans stuck between two gears. I had to get under the car and manually put it into neutral. I have no fricken idea how he did that. It never happened to me. I could never replicate it. So, ever since, that one special thing before you drive my car is you'll have to **** my ****.
The car: Its a 5 speed, reverse is over here. There is no adjustment for the seat. Buckle the seat belt. Don't bring it back with an empty gas tank (for my kids). The truck: Buckle the seat belt. Don't kill my new toy. Don't bring it back with an empty gas tank (for my kids). I built my stuff to drive. They drive easily and very well. A person's at***ude will be the determining factor on if they get the keys, or not. A bad at***ude means no keys. Gene
