A 50’s Vintage Tractor

I learned to drive on a three-on-a-tree manual. There's no school like the old school. https://t.co/bzX0SgR8yR

With three between your legs. And very long (and stiff) throws.

My first car had four on the floor. Much shorter throws.

Like learning to use a typewriter, some old skills are still worth having. I could probably return to stick as easily as return to a bicycle. Or skating. (Have you tried that in adulthood? Your center of gravity is MUCH higher, and the ground suddenly seems much further down than it used to be.)
