At my first job, while I was still in high school, I drove my 1960 VW to work. A clutch was no big deal. One day the boss tosses me the keys to his Bronco and has me run an errand for him. OK, I am on the clock, so off I go. I put the key in, and look on the floor for the shifter. Not there?

So I look on the column, and had already noticed the clutch pedal. Hmmmm.

So I push in the clutch, Imaging the column on the floor and figure first should be up and close to the steering wheel. That worked. I figured out how to drive it in seconds, and off I went. Successful mission.

Later the boss told me it was partly a test to see if I could drive a 3 on the tree. I told him I had never driven one before, but it was easy to figure out. The kid that had my job before me never could figure it out.
