(she usually pulls the boat out after I hook it up and get inside). Word to the wise though it doesn't help if she accidentally puts the thing in reverse! 1984 Montauk

I remember the first time I drove my wife's Subaru, I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong or rather thought something was wrong with the brakes. Of course she loved that joke. I've never owned an automatic transmission vehicle and after driving a vehicle with hill assist it's a very nice feature though I'm not usually one for extra bells and such. 1963 13' Sport 50hp Evinrude Maintaining a level of sanity that is socially acceptable
