Driving old school

I drove my new old van on her first sales trip yesterday, delivering repaired cables to a little town called Chester, West Virginia. She did fine. Everything went well and according to plan. There was only one problem: I had to apply the gas pedal to accelerate.

It's true, I tell ya. If I wanted to move at all I had to give it gas myself. A couple of times I took my foot off the pedal and was shocked to find I was slowing down. Something must be wrong!

But, of course, no. There was simply no cruise control. First world problem, yes. Still, I was disappointed. I had no right to be, but you get used to things, you know?
