That's why you have to scrub the road grease off.

And how do you do that?
If the car wash can't shift it, and two young Polish lads with buckets
can't scrub it off, I'm not sure what else to try...

Have you tried Rain-X? It gets good reviews from actual
users.

Some people love it, some don't...
Rain-X people also make wipers.

I tell you what, you'd need to be more like Popeye than Fred to shift
this lump of pig iron!

My manual trans Subaru Outback has a lot of trouble shifting
into reverse. Sometimes I have to take the parking brake off
and rock the car back and forth (you know, while sitting in
the driver's seat, start rocking) in order to get it into
reverse. Trannies in my last 3 Subarus have been crappy...

Ah yes, my first car had a similar issue. It's not so bad if the car is
already moving when you try to select reverse. But if not... well, I
hope you got muscle! o_O
Then again, that car had been back to zero TWICE... And it was a Ford
when they manufactured it.

Doing a test at the proving ground and the test objective was to get away
from something that was about to explode as fast as you could? ;-)

When shoulder belts first started being used, people who didn't want them
would route them in weird places so they would just have the lap belt.
Just like people who grew up driving without a seat belt on at all - many
have a hard time just putting the belt on. Me, I can't drive even to a
new parking space - or back down the driveway - with my seatbelt off. It
just feels weird.
