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 button 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 button 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 suck my dick.
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 attitude will be the determining factor on if they get the keys, or not. A bad attitude means no keys. Gene
