Featured Technical Two pedals or three

Going to your neck of the woods at the end of the month for a spine specialist. The problem is the neck/shoulder not the leg but I guess that will be next. As the saying goes, "Getting old isn't for sissy's"

Sheeiiittttt…I was 2 pedaling it back in 1959

 

Seeing this reminded me about a story my dad told me about when he was in his early teens somewhere around 1955 or so. He and a buddy built a go cart using an old chainsaw motor and was testing it out on the streets. He and his friend somehow managed to both get on while my dad was driving it wide open down a main thoroughfare passing cars like nobody’s business. His buddy noticed that the light coming up was red and whenever they hit the brakes it just went faster So dad did the only thing he could think of and tried using his feet to stop the thing. Needless to say they flew through the intersection with cars dodging them, feet on the ground smoking like crazy and when they finally stopped both of them were damn near barefoot. Dad had to go home and figure out a way to tell my grandma why his new Converse had no soles left on them and he could use a new pair. And this is the same guy that used to yell at me for doing stupid shit

 

Mainly 2 pedals since 1962...

 

I second this answer, although I say "Hot Rods have 3 pedals and late model used cars have two!"

 

LOL...yup, things were different back then...my best friend and I actually took 2 Taco mini bikes, cut them in half and built a 2 engine bike with twin 5hp Briggs motors...We lived out in the country and that mini bike would easily pass cars running 50 mph down the road...unfortunately, I was 12 years old and welded like a 12 year old...everything was great until the frame broke in half, which sent my best friend, and cohort, flying into a grape vineyard in the classic Superman pose....dust and mini bike parts flew everywhere...it was AWESOME....LOL...we are still best friends today, 60 years later.

 

I've had both ,3 pedals was always my favorite had 2 '69 camaros 1 auto 1 stick ,nothing like getting sideways in 3 gears with 3 pedals !! And with new knees I'm looking forward to finding another 3 Pedaler!

 

3 pedals, 4 corners, Hurst and Muncie.
Just like scripture says that Jesus and Moses did it.

 

Always, always, always 3 pedals when I have a choice. From 1982 til about 2008 every car I owned had a manual trans, except for one work truck. I even bracket raced a manual trans Mopar.

 

I agree, three pedals definitely makes a hot rod feel more sporty and gives you a feeling of total control that’s hard to beat. I put a 3 spd with Overdrive in my ‘31 sedan trying not to give in to the late model transmission trend. But I don’t mind seeing or driving a hot rod with a slush box as long as it’s not a Powerglide, Dynaflow or other two speed piece of crap. The old 4 speed Hydros in my roadster and my Stude feel pretty hot roddy to me.

 

Shouldda known this would be big.
Think about it two hands, two feet
When it's Go Time a hand on the wheel, and one on the stick.
One foot on the clutch, one on the gas.
They're all workin' to keep you stuffed into the seat.
Now that's ddrriivviinn. Also what Ricky said.
