Yup, driving is different after age 45. Cumulative insults. And injuries are magnified. I've thought about a HD clutch for my truck to sort of "up" the off-line performance with a heavy load, but my back and knees disagree . . . I hope there's an Autoshift type trans for a pickup by the time I really need it.
Enjoyed the DD story above. I learned to drive stick in a '66 Ford van with the mighty I6-240 between the seats and a bolt action 3-speed: the bosses vehicle.
