Actually, I used to drop into first when pulling in to the airplane hangar
where I used to store one of my deuces. The hangar was very crowded, and I had
to squeeze that deuce into a tight corner with lots of fragile stuff lying
around. Before I learned to double-clutch while driving non-synchro semi
tractors in truck driving school, I'd downshift from 2-high to 2-low, but once
I learned to double-clutch properly, I found it easier to downshift to first.
