I drove the 5-ton M62. All non-synchromesh. Double-clutch every gear, up & down. A good workout.

I would like to visit my friend in E. Amherst and he keeps asking me to come up, but if I did so, I would be violating about 65 (or so it seems) NY laws and if caught, might never see the light of day again. He does shows on a nearby reservation and from his comments, it would be interesting.
Nearby reservation? Military or Indian? East Amherst is about a half-hour drive straight South down the street in front of my house. I drove down to Sheridan Dr about two years ago to pick up a transmission for my Vette (it's in it now). East Amherst used to be bare fields, now it's one big long shopping mall/plaza/car dealerships...
