For those "youngsters" out there from us over 40

I'm one of those youngsters who knows a bit about what you guys are saying.

I'm in my 20's and I spent my childhood working for the stuff I wanted. I also have fond memories of older vehicles. Try explaining a 2-Speed Rear to someone my age, it doesn't work out so well :D I drove a '55 Cheby dumptruck for my grandfather, 4-Speed with a 2-Speed rear axle, manual brakes, manual steering. My friends just couldn't grasp the concept of shifting a rear axle while shifting the transmission too :D

Spent a summer driving a D100 with a 3 on the Tree... Carried a large screwdriver with me, because the beast liked to jam between gears at redlights :oops:

explaining the purpose of 1st Gear / Low on a NP435 doesn't work so well either. "I thought you said this was a 4-speed? Why is there only 3 gears?" "1st is for heavy loads and steep hills..." "I don't get it." :oops:

or a manual shift kit... that one confuses most of my friends. :D

Learned to drive a stick when I was 10 or 11, My dad threw me the keys to his dumptruck and said. "Plow the snow off the driveway, I'm going back inside where its warm... Don't hit anything!" :D
