She don’t idle good so if you wait too long and let the engine die, you have to start ‘er up an gun ‘er to get ‘er going, then try to catch it on the way down between runnin’ and not runnin’ – just when it’s nice and quiet but not all the way quiet. Now, don’t let ‘er die too many times ‘cause the battery’s about shot and if you run it down you’ll have to crank ‘er. The blinkers don’t work, so you have to use hand signals. Don ‘t try to use the brakes unless you got both hands on the wheel real good ‘cause they pull pretty bad – sometimes left and sometimes right, it depends. That’s all you have to remember.”

The whole thing was well written and entertaining as always, but the bold part got me. Fortunately, no one is around or they'd think I was crazy from the hysterical laughter.
