That's hilarious! Cher is 65 now (at least the original parts are), something I cannot quite grasp.
I'll contribute my hydra-matic story to the collection. Mine involves a '64 Cadillac Series 62 coupe. 1964 was that year that Cadillac introduced Turbo Hydra-Matic on the Fleetwood Sixty Special, Eldorado and de Ville models. but the lowly Series 62 and the limousine still had the old 4-speed hydra-matic. I was at a car wash one day, with cars behind and in front of me when the car wash broke. We were all stuck for about 20 minutes while they fixed it. As has been pointed out, the gear selector in this transmission was PNDSLR. When the jam up finally opened and it was time for me to move forward, in a fit of temper I pulled the lever all the way down (thinking I was in a different car apparently), hit the go pedal, and went careening backward into a Honda Civic. Not even a scratch on the Cadillac, but the Honda needed a $2500 new front end. Oops!

L.A. songwriter Dave Morrison has a song that starts out:
There's a little too much past in our future,
There's a little too much scalp in our hair,
There's no use denying,
The years have gone flying by,
But we'll always be younger than Cher,
