Back in High School while teaching a friend how to drive stick, he threw my 1972 VW into reverse at 35mph. A short time later, reverse took a permanent vacation and I was force to search for downhill parking spaces and the like.
One day after school, a friend walks by as I am pushing my car out of it's parking space and asks, "Why are you pushing your car backwards?". "I have no reverse!" I say, to which he replys "Oh, was it an option you didn't get?". "No a@@hole, it once had reverse, it just doesn't anymore...".
