I have owned a couple vehicles that would take off forward when the
clutch pedal was released in neutral if you didn't hold the brake hard.
The gear oil was that thick at -40 or colder.

Brett Good was in my class but they moved away when I was in grade
school. I ran into Brett when I competed in the state spelling bee (hey,
it was a free trip to Anchorage, my strategy was to lose early and go
goof off), and later at UAF where he was majoring in theater.

I've had a heating pad on the transmission of everything but my Jeep,
which is going to get one before next winter. It makes a big difference
starting out in the morning.

Nat Good would be about 59-60 now. Used to be a schoolteacher
and then moved up to teaching supervision. Which, if you
knew the guy in high school is one of the ultimate ironies.
