Are You in 4x4 Low?

You start to go, but all you hear is click-click while the transfer case is changing gears.
You try to upshift, but it won't let you as your in overdrive
You get passed on the right by a guy driving a Ford Farmall Tractor
You forget to push the clutch before coming to a stop, but the engine keeps running
You try to start out gently, but you lurch ahead as you take your foot slowly off the clutch in first gear
As you drive around, your going at 4,000 RPM but the speedometer refuses to move in 2nd gear
Look at the idiot light on your dashboard or the control next to it
Somebody walks past you driving your truck
