Thursday I Went to "Clean Air Colorado" Parker test station to get my emissions test on the '60 Champ. The manager proceeded to stick the key in half way, bend it at a 90 degree angle and then complain that it wouldn't start! I expressed my disgust at what he did whereupon he denied doing it. Excuse me ! I drove it to the door and he alone had control of the vehicle after that.
Fail !!! Made some adjustments and went to the South Holly station to avoid that minimum wage genius.
As per routine I drove the Champ to the entrance and turned it over to CAC. After a few minutes this 20 something dolly who seemed to be in charge of this branch came into the waiting bull pen to get me. We go out to the truck and she asks me the profound question, "Where is first gear!" We had a rather pointed discussion that this wasn't the proper occasion to learn how to drive a stick shift. After more discussion, I moved it to position!
Passed !! I can hardly wait for next year!
