Default Re: What ever you do do not touch these levers

When I was in high school, I worked weekends at a huge three story garage in San Francisco.(no doors--I was a night watchman) I always enjoyed driving the new cars from floor to floor or around the block. The local beat cop always brought pastries left for us from the bakery in the next block.After we had our coffee break( at about 3AM) he would say "hey Bruce what are you goin' to drive tonight?" One night I decided to drive the Levi Strauss BIG and LONG low boy around the block. I think it must of had 60 or 70 speeds forward!! I found "Very Low" and used that gear to drive around the block... the cop was still laughing when I finally made it back with out hitting anything!! The true test to me was backing it back into it's space without damaging any of the cars on either side!! The parking exercise only took an hour and a half
