[DML] Re: Delorean Brakes

["supermattthehero" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Heh...I know this as well.  I learned to drive a manual transmission 
on my friend's Dodge Neon.  Then a few weeks later, my DeLorean 
arrived and it was time to apply my newly learned abilities.  One of 
the first, and potentially worst, mistakes I ever made, was assuming 
the shifter was in neutral after starting the car.  The sequence 
went something like this:

1.  Depress clutch
2.  Start car
3.  Release clutch
4.  "OH SHIT!" as my car lunges toward the wall in my garage.
5.  *SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH*  as I slam on the brakes and prevent 
myself from destroying the front end just a few days after getting 
it.  No one was hurt, and yes, now there is 4 6-inch skid marks in 
my garage along with a funny story to go with it.  I will never make 
that mistake again!
