Installed a 4-bbl setup and a few other go fast parts (lol @slant 6) but it would eat stock small blocks until it finally seized up. Later upgraded to a built 340TA motor and 4-speed stick. Then I stupidly sold it and bought a 65 Mustang Notchback 289HO. Then went in the Army and had brother sell the Mustang in 1981 while I was in Germany.Quote:

I feel like the days of kids learning to drive early are nearing an end. I mean not me. I let my daughter drive the Amigo on the highway when she was 10. It's not what you're thinking though. Then when I got a manual I taught her to drive that when she was 12. It's amazing how quick kids pick things up. She was starting in 2nd and pulling a trailer (empty) by her second time. She did tow the trailer behind the Amigo for 13 miles on dirt roads one year on a hunting trip.
Some ev without transmission, many would not know what manual transmission or gearbox is.
Not just that, there is a surprising and growing number of teenagers that have no intent to learn how to drive at all.Quote:

My youngest nephew is one of those. 19 years old and he would still rather be the passenger than drive. He let his learners permit expire (I think on purpose) and hasn't bothered to renew it in order to get a license. He just sees no need for it -- he has a passport if he needs a photo ID and I think he'd rather play games on his iPhone than drive.Quote:

I know of a woman in her 30's, with two children, that just never bothered to learn to drive. Seems pretty irresponsible to me.
Surprisingly many NYC adults do not have driver's license.
Yep, I used to work with a lady who spent 18 years in NYC so when she eventually moved to CO she had to buy a car and get over her fear after not driving herself anywhere for nearly 2 decades. She literally chose where to live based on how many turns it was from her new job.... not mileage, turns....Quote:
