Fortunately no one was hurt. The punch line is an absolutely pun

though. He should have had a ____ Stop!
And he publicly admits to having done this?

If you want to be really dumbfounded, go look at some of the most-recent
posts. Here, I'll save you some time:

“Will I start the darn thing from outside, on one foot? Honestly? Most
likely. But as it’s been said numerous times before, I will ensure I
smack the shifter to ensure it’s not in gear.”


I do dumb stuff all the time but sure never broadcast it unless I think it might save someone else from the same mistake. However, this was just a mistake waiting to happen, stating a manual care while standing outside of it with the clutch depressed. Uh duh, could be a problem pretty easily, as it finally was.

Don't you always shake the stick to be sure it is in neutral even when you have a newer car that requires the clutch to be in before the starter will engage?
