I remember back in the 80's when a neighbor took me and my siblings to school along with her kids. She drove a early to mid 80's Mercury Grand Marquis. I can't remember the exact circumstance, but we had to take this alley about 1/4 mile. Maybe it was winter and she was using the lower gears to keep traction. Whatever it was, I remember the sound to this day of what I thought at the time was shearing teeth when she accidentally crammed it into reverse. This was also the same dipsh*t that got t-boned while making a left turn (to school), and the T-bone was on the rear passenger door where I was sitting. It was enough to spin us around in the snow/ice and mess up the door pretty good, but I wasn't really hurt. I didn't let school officials know that though. As far as they knew I wasn't feeling well and needed to go home. It worked like a charm. How did I get here from the original question? sorry...
