Geez, when I was a younger driver I used a 1987 Dodge that would frequently stall because of a bad distributor pickup. Just some heavy steering and a hard brake pedal upon pulling over. No big deal, no panic.

I'm guessing that most of today's young drivers are using automatics. Hard to shift and text at the same time.

Man, did it take a long time for me to find it was a bad distributor pickup that kept causing my 87 Dakota to stall. Yep, just got used to it. Guess there are fewer and fewer folks all the time that know how to feather the accelerator to keep a carbed engine running from a cold start. Guess that will keep kids from stealing any of my old fleet (that and the 3 on the tree.)
