Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Great chewing tobacco story!
The shift lever fell off my GT550 in the middle of the night in Kansas. My Vise Grips made a decent temporary replacement until I passed a Suzuki dealership in Oklahoma. Out of concern for the possibility of the Vise Grips falling off, I mostly left it in third gear. Really posed no problem.
My Sheeet! moment came driving a mountain road in Mexico, a bit east of Villa Hermosa. The mountains rise almost vertically from a flat plain that goes to the Gulf. The road has lots of 15 mph switch-backs. A near-sheer drop-off of probably a thousand feet was a few feet from the road. On a short straightaway, my car (Jetta GLI) started spinning doughnuts. Somehow, I came to a stop on the right-of-way. The road was completely covered with what appeared to be motor oil, as if a drum of it had fallen off of a truck and burst open. Even getting the car straightened out was like trying to drive the car uphill on wet ice. For several miles, I had to stay below 10 mph on the straight portions, and to 5 mph on curves. It was a good 100 miles before I could drive normally.
