Never heard of that . Three on the tree…
OFFICIAL PREDICTION Thread, WEEK 18------------- Bungles at STEELERS
- Thread starter Drink IRON City
- Start date
I don't see a LOL there, so I'll assume you are sincere!
If you know what a 4 on the floor is, a three on the tree was a 3 gear manual shifter mounted on the steering column.
These existed before automatic transmissions were invented and continued to be sold after the introduction of the automatic.
You had the option to purchase a 3 on the tree or the more expensive automatic.

Well……last regular game. Off season seems to last forever,actual season flies by.
My pre-season prediction was 8-9…. With the thought of them loosing the last 4 games. For the paying fans at Heinz field I truly hope my prediction and score is wrong. That being said….

Bengals 41.
I hope our D shows some pride here,but I believe Chase and Higgins have a huge day.
No.
Receiving yards - 49
Sacks-4
Little DIC was just 9 years old when approached by a talent agent at the local hardware store. Was asked to audition for a brand new Coke a Cola commercial. While practicing his lines in walked the biggest man little DIC ever saw. In full Steelers uniform.
After doing a few takes along with other kids trying to get the role,little DIC thought he was a shoe in. Unfortunately at the luncheon after the auditions the producer brought his twin 11 year old daughters. An hour later the producer while looking for his girls walked in to DIC and the girls playing spin the bottle. Little DIC Hollywood career over before it begins. While the legend of little Tommy Okon began. DIC could never forget Mean Joe Greene and that Pittsburgh uniform and became a fan for life. Also learned a life long lesson of the female persuasion that day.
Edit….im probably way too high with my score looking at the weather. This team pisses me off so much I can’t be bothered to change it. I forgot to say Thanks Slash for your generosity,and thanks DIC for taking the time to make this more interesting with the tidbits of your life. Cheers all.

I don't se a win for us here. Cincy has too much to play for here, and are better coached. But, this is our last best chance at a W for the year.

Actually about a month before I turned 5. Miniapolis-Molein came out with what they marketed as a "Childs" tractor. It was smaller than regular, but still could do farm work. It fit the "kids" so as they could work too. It was NOT a toy. I learned to drive it and became the kid who could rake hay. From there I just kept driving bigger equipment including cars / pickup by age 6 and grain trucks by age 8, combine by age 10.
My friend Calvin, and I overhauled a International Super "C" (it's a smaller tractor, but full size) with out any adult help. I was 7 and he was 9, he was the brains but I helped quite a bit.
Oh those were the days, growing up on the farm in the 60's.
Salute the nation
Learned to drive when friends dared me to take them for a ride in their older brothers '61 Fairlane convertible with a 3 on the tree.
15 at the time, older brother was not pleased.
Oh, and Go Stillers! Other than that, I got nothin'.

Yeppers, those three on the tree were fun, both car and truck.
My dad had an old late 50's international pickup. It had three on the floor and that particular model was notorious for how sloppy lose the transmission was. I was pretty good with it but man, sometimes you'd think you were hitting second but actually end up in 3rd and chug chug the engine. still a lot of fun driving.
I'm glad you got to drive / learn early in life and be sure to pass that onto the younger generation as life continues.

I was off by this much!
thanks DIC, great stories!
If Russ doesn't look good after the first third HOOK. They are both FAs. What do you got to lose?
I remember those old Internationals.
They also made the Scout. Counterpart to the Ford Bronco.
Back to the 3 on the tree….Remember that awful sound when you didn’t have the clutch pushed in far enough? (Or a bad clutch/tranny)
Stop grinding the gears!! Grind me a pound why don’t ya!!
What’s funny is that the idiom “grinds my gears” which means to be irked or annoyed by something….its origin is probably not known by those who use it.
