I was silently reading the Click and Clack column the other morning when suddenly I said aloud “No, no, no, no!” Startled, Cliff looked up and said, “What?” So I read him the following:
“Dear Tom and Ray:
My husband is 68 and I am 72, and the following has been a lifelong argument. We have a small gravelly hill leading to our driveway. When it is icy, my husband insists on driving (or sliding) down the hill in neutral.” To which Cliff immediately responded with, “No, no! You lose control of the car in neutral!”
Which is precisely what Tom and Ray went on to explain. End of lesson for the day.
