11.   Fresh off a victory last weekend in San Diego, Martinez was back in first gear for the first round of the Acura Classic in Manhattan Beach.

12.   I showed J. how to drive my car in first gear, and I rode nude on the hood while he drove.

13.   In fact, with this shift strategy, why have a first gear at all?

14.   In first gear at full torque, it moves about a foot per second, allowing the rig to climb across about anything.

15.   In first gear it pulls slow with a lot of torque.

16.   Instead, we drove for two hours in first gear, past a flat, expressionless landscape, rocked by the jarring thumps of the ruined tire.

17.   Instead, both have had trouble getting out of first gear.

18.   Netanyahu did whatever he could to keep this negotiating process in first gear.

19.   Push in the clutch and throw the shift lever into first gear, and the engine starts again.

20.   So steep is the grade, passing a couple of deteriorating wagons and a few dying poplars, that first gear is required for almost a mile.
