This subject brings back fond memories. I had an old 1968 Cadillac convertible (DeVille for those that know Caddies) I bought for $450 when I was a lad. This is the car I cut my teeth on. Well, the old neutral safety switch went out one day, and 2 days later I finally figured out what a neutral safety switch was :p . I bypassed it, as I had little money for such things. Coincidentally, the carburetor was a wreck, and the car idled really high. The car HAD to be shut off in drive or it would just keep running in run-on. You can see where this is going. I sometimes forgot to put the car in neutral, and with that high idle, the damn thing launched on start up! Came awful close to smacking whoever was parked in front of me on those days.
