I've done that too! In the olden days, in France in a Citroen, of course but not a deux chevaux.

Your about the same age as my dad.
I have not yet had a doctor who was younger yet. All have been over 40 and most over 60.
But the day will come when the doctor looks like doogie...lol

When they first brought the 2cv out they challenged the public to roll one over. They said they would pay 500 francs to anybody who could do so. Nobody ever did. The suspension was so soft!
I remember my Dad replacing the chassis on one of them in his barn. He loved those cars.

What was the handbrake like?
A teacher at school had one and it was easy to push to a different place to where he left it.

Re: Things that make you feel old
I didn't know that, I remember the DS was supposed to be almost impossible to roll. The DS steering wheel impressed me when I was young, as well. In the days before safety belts they eliminated the steering column that would go through your chest in case of a head-on.
