That's from the Ford manual. I'm pretty sure that most common car settings will be available through a Google search.

I too have ramps, but unfortunately I lack a daily driver with a high enough front valance to use them.

Excellent point, I always set the parking brake, but don't go as far as chocking the tires. I will update the post as soon as I can.

No, Jason Chen is gone baby gone. Also, Gawker pushed Fleshbot down the stairs. On the other hand they did re-hire Ben Popken after he got laid off by Consumer Reports.

Excellent work, HycoSpeed, and here's a little background on this particular car. It is indeed a 1952 Maverick, in fact it's considered to be the first of the 7 fiberglass bodies constructed. This one rides on a modified La Salle frame and initially had neither hood or engine access other than pivoting the entire body up from the back. Later, access hatches (that chrome bit) and a hood were added.

The car is owned by Ed Roth, who is a big time collector of quirky and weird one-offs. I once judged his purple Muntz Jet at the LA Concours which featured a console-mounted wire recorder - that worked - that played a Mad Man Muntz radio ad. Roth's cars never fail to amaze.

Congrats again on the win!

Ha! That's about the most awkward autocorrect fail I have ever personally had. Apparently my system - OS X 10.7- doesn't like 'Amyl' but does like anal. Stupid computer for that, stupid me for not catching it.
