OT aside: When I went to take my current car (a manual)
for a test drive, I had to stop and ask the dealer how
to put it into reverse.
Turns out the only difference between first and reverse
on that model is whether you lift up a little ring on the
shaft of the gear lever prior to engagement.
Who came up with *that* brilliant piece of user interface
design I don't know. It seems specifically designed to
encourage velocity sign errors when starting off...
