The Stoners Echo Chamber

I drove the jeep with no clutch t'wards the end....tricky but you get used to it

 

When I lived near Pittsburgh about half of the cars I owned were manual... No big deal. Especially after having a 75 Ford dump truck as a daily driver for about 2 years.

 

I guess if the clutch is worn down it matters. But a good clutch should last quite awhile? I admit though, most of the time I drive entirely horizontal. But have to cross and stop frequently on a hill like surface (bridges, dykes, etc.)

 

Pittsburgh is pretty harsh on a clutch...

 

my skylark was a manual. depends on the hills here.. we have some that are straight up steep and others that are average. but i do live in the heart of Pittsburgh. where's Ive to climb mountains in traffic. not a good place for manual.

 

Facts. It is also scary taking off from a dead stop on a hill with someone right on your bumper

Was hauling a load of gravel in the previously mentioned dump truck. Way over weight limit... stopped at the top of a steep hill for a red light, Guy behind me was driving the loader we used to fill the truck. I felt him bump my tailgate with his bucket when we stopped. Light turned green, I nailed it a rolled out the clutch. Lifted the front wheels all the way across the intersection... Buddy on the loader freaked, rolled into the car behind him.

Amateurs...

I remember being very baked driving the asphalt truck, hot as hell summer days. decent load in the back. top hill, stop light. like who puts these things here like this/ idiots.. but I remember the front end coming off the ground. and I hopes the widget was locked closed.

 

Sounds like it was part experience but also part luck.
