Here is my high school drivers' ed teacher preparing to show how to use a stick shift:


100% wood


And that’s a lot of car for that tiny woman to handle. I can see why women got the reputation they have as drivers looking at that pic. It had to be difficult for a petite woman to handle that big arse steering wheel and clutch pedals

THere's another one of these that shows how wheels on the same axel can rotate at different speeds. Very cool.

Yeah, I just watched the rear differential video after the transmission video. I don't guess I've ever really thought about it, but I never even thought about the wheels turning at different speeds before. It looks complicated but the concept is simple and the video does a great job at explaining the concept.

For 1936, some of those animations were impressive
