Old Habits
Learned to drive on an 8N (Ford tractor) and my dad warned me "always keep your thumbs outside the wheel or when you hit a bump it will spin the wheel and break them if they are inside" And of course he was right, that thin smooth wheel slipped in my grasp often enough to remind me and make it a habit that has stayed with me these many decades.
And I still occasionally get a refresher when I drive the old machine. My brother still keeps it in use though it is nearly 70 years old.
Now after 30 years of FWD I am back into a RWD car, and just like riding a bicycle I still remember how to enjoy snow and ice.
