   That's why they used to call horsepower, BHP...Braking Horse Power. That   
   was a Ford flathead V8 with a little bit of BHP.  I did shift down and   
   ended up double clutching into 1st before pulling the parking brake for a   
   full stop. Luckily I made it through 3 sets of traffic lights (2nd gear)   
   and finally stopped in the back parking lot of my favorite hangout; a   
   Texaco station with a 3 stall garage and two very competent mechanics on   
   duty ... I was only 17yo, then. I started leaning over fenders, watching   
   these guys when I was only 13yo...they taught me a lot.
