Mopar Maniac
Okay.....I know it's not a Mopar but....
The missus wanted to go for an ice cream yesterday....gorgeous day, why not hop in the Fifth and go to our local ice cream shop for a cone. We stopped at my buddy's on the way to see if he wanted to come with us but he was just making dinner.
He had this parked in front of his house.
1962 Mercury Comet straight six, three on the tree.
He's had it for a while and I've driven it before.
I jokingly said "Maybe I should take the Comet" and he tossed me the keys. My wife has never been in anything like this before so I thought she'd get a kick out of seeing what driving was like in 62.
Manual steering, manual brakes and a three on the tree.
Man what a blast!! I learned to drive a standard when I was a kid on a 62 Studebaker Lark....totally brought me back.
The missus was watching me drive it with a WTF look on her face....like I said....not a Mopar but man was that fun!
I might have to find myself an old Plymouth with a three on the tree now...a friend of mine just couldn't grasp the concept of how this bloody thing worked...don't think he's all that great with a stick to begin with and the idea that it was on the column just twisted his head.
Too much fun!!
