Swearing, reference to fetish sexual activity, and turbos. This comment has it all.

Har! The winner is almost certain to not be a muscle car.

And then we'll get the C.H.U.D.s

What?! What kind of crap cans are you driving? Every down-right reverse box I've ever driven has a true lockout. Here's the end of the argument: if you have an up-left reverse, you will eventually grab 1st looking for reverse and grab reverse looking for 1st. Those would be the 2 MOST dangerous gear selection…

Can't replace those awful Escapes soon enough.

I'm sure there's someone out there who gets sexually aroused by crown moldings.

No it doesn't! Jeebus! That setup only exists because it's the way Germans have always done it. Like center-mounted window switches. It's just dumb. R-1 means 2 moves, down and up, and in the middle, you have to count on the spring or fork coming out of R to put you in the right place for 1st. From a stop, you…

Better with a down-right reverse. No question.

It most assuredly does not. Especially when trying to go R-1 in a hurry.

Is it the worst part of that car? It sure is.

Odd. Maybe I got an outlier and then the replacement was an improved design. I was pretty sure I was hooning the crap out of it.

Center-mounted instruments.

There is absolutely no excuse for putting reverse there. None.

?! I drove '90 Legend Coupe with a stick until it had 195K on the clock. The first clutch survived to 125K including teaching my wife to drive a manual. The weight of that car was pretty bad, but it only made 170-odd HP.

Thanks!

I loved reading this. Congrats.

IDK. Drugs?

Love this feature. Can't wait for more Popken. Hate the name.
