Re: First Impressions

In 1974 my Dad had a 1968 GMC 910 in the driveway. As you know, column doesn't lock. I was in second grade and I would bring home girls from school on the way home to show them how I could roll it back a couple of feet by putting it in neutral and rolling it back with the brake.

I could only go so far or my Dad would notice it'd been moved, so I couldn't get greedy. A second show would have to await another day and another audience.

It's hard to comprehend now, as an adult, but when you're 7 the prospect of a vehicle rolling under your command is heady stuff, even if it's not actually running...
